| FavoriteTrail: | Anywhere I can find |
| Duration Product Used: | 2 Years |
| Price Paid: | $300 |
| Purchased At: | Cant remember xD |
| Strengths: | Teh frame is strong and durable, As I use the '06 one the colour (gold) Crank arms are really strong. Its Ok on the trails aswell as DJ. I have used this for single track. The tires are super grippy and durable. |
| Weaknesses: | The brakes died on me pretty quickly. My BB (bottom bracket) also died within the first year. |
| Similar Products Tried: | Norco 125 |
| Bike Setup: | Juicy 3 up front HS33 on the back New BB dunno what though, BBB Pedals An Alexrims rim on the front dunno what one though |
| Bottom Line: | An awsome product that is durable and strong. A few parts might need replacing after a while as with most bikes. Nothing major... Recomended for people starting out with DJ (dirt jumps) If you're a more experienced rider then this is Ok too. Not bad on trails but dont buy it purley for that purpose. Good for street too but a 24" pecfic bike would be better. |

| Bottom Line: | A Great Bike For Messing Around With Jumps On. Will Need To Be Serviced Regularly To Keep It Up To Scratch.

| FavoriteTrail: | oropi |
| Duration Product Used: | 3 months |
| Strengths: | bling looks, light frame, very chuckable over jumps (at least compared to my mates DMR and STP 1). low price for a jump bike. i have heard that the frame is very strong. |
| Weaknesses: | well the forks are crap and the rims are just as bad! gears could be better, but they do the job. tacod my front rim and snapped my forks off a small (3-4) foot jump, but i am a 90kg rider who rides pretty harshly. |
| Similar Products Tried: | DMR trailstar, STP1, aggressor |
| Bike Setup: | stock, but new rims and shocks on the way! |
| Bottom Line: | good for a budget, smooth rider. dont buy if you ride hard, because it wont hack it! also definatley a jump bike, ive found it much harder to ride steep downhill drops than on my crappy old aggressor (that didnt have suspension!) |
