Duration Product Used:

Price Paid:
$1300.00
Purchased At:
Hardcore Bikes
Strengths:
Very strong, quality welds, takes a pounding and never complains, good head set, I bought this bike for $800 mainly for the frame, the upgrades put it to $1300.
Weaknesses:
The stock Marrzochi fork is junk(and heavy took off 2.5 lbs by upgrading) I race a couple times a year and the rebound adjust was terrible, upgraded the rear derrailuer because of the racing to xt. crank needs to be 175mm for more torque.
Similar Products Used:
Nothing with this kind of strength and quality welds. entry level junk, never looked at getting serious till I looked and got this bike.
Bike Setup:
Fox float RLC 140mm, alivio shifters, deore brake levers, XT front and rear, shimano alivio crank, changed back to mech disk breaks, Avid BB7 8" front, Hayes MX-2 8" rear.
Bottom Line:
Love the bike, frame is a little heavey but built to last no stress cracks on this frame period. Really good frame for future upgrades.
