Date Reviewed: February 17, 2008 | | Favoriate Trail: | Forest trail i made | | Duration Product Used: | 2 Years | | Price Paid: |
$1277.00 | | Purchased At: | Saracen | | Strengths: | Frame and forks ! | | Weaknesses: | none found | | Similar Products Used: | kona, 24seven, DDG shooter | | Bike Setup: | Instinct 3 frame, dirt jumper 1's, DMR rims | | Bottom Line: | The bottom line is this.. the frame is amazing, end of.
i can really comment on the other parts like crank set, BB, rims etc that came with it as with most bikes i get i usualy spec them up to my preferance around the frame. although i did find the DJ3's on the bike were very good.
the frame took and still takes everything i throw at it. it loves dirt jumping, to seems to glide effortlessly through the air and lands smooth, tkaes a good bashing at downhill as well even though its a hard tail. i havent really been interested in Saracen that much but this bike has certainly impressed me. so much that i will be using this until it breaks before i decide to get a new frame or the same one ;)
i think that anyone could use this frame, it does almost anything with ease, dirt jumpers should get this frame, downhillers should give it a miss as you wont get the most out of it as its a hardtail, general cyclists - a wise choice, very light and easy to manover ;) | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
