| Duration Product Used: | 6 months |
| Price Paid: | $910 |
| Purchased At: | North Star Sports |
| Strengths: | Great new frame design, comfortable, roomy, strong, unbeatable value |
| Weaknesses: | Small stock bars, STP SS comes with DJ3 and it isn't amazing |
| Similar Products Tried: | Sinister Ridge, Specialized P.2, P.1, Old STP |
| Bike Setup: | Marzocchi DJ2, Kenda Nevegals, Sun Rims, Holzfeller Riserbar, SRAM SX-5 setup, Truvativ Bashguard |
| Bottom Line: | Great bike for the price. I did a lot of research on this style of bike before purchasing one and this came out to be the most bang for the buck. I got a custom build SS, built up with an 8 speed system because the MS STP's took too long to ship from Giant and I was impatient. The SS comes with a fairly weak fork, but for the price it can't be beat. I have the stock SS MX4's though, and these work very well for cheap mechanical brakes. The soles may be better... not sure. Bottom line, getting started? Buy this bike. |
