Purchased At:sunset Cycle
Strengths:Good Solid build, Lots of FLOW on the trails...believe me. Strong frame, id say damn near indistructible. Strong fork and bars
Weaknesses:Brake system and crank arms. Brakes are weak and crank arms are heavy
Similar Products Used:Hoffman products
Bike Setup:past: flow frame, profile cranks, kink sprocket, KNC chain, hoffman ims, s&m logo seat, odyssey brakes, odessey fork, destruction SP, LS grips, hoffman fist stem, gyro, random other parts but its all the frame!
Bottom Line:Ok listen to me, get on your bike right after you read this and get a feel for it. Bunny hop, fufanu and 180. Thats all you need to understand a TON about this bike and what to expect. Its a solid bike and it takes a hard beating! I loved it so much i was nicknamed after it and tattooed the exact same lettering FLOW on my neck! Take it from me. Have fun. ok peace out

Favoriate Trail:South Park! I also ride a lot of skateparks too
Duration Product Used:1 Year
Price Paid: $259.00
Purchased At:A bikeshop in Lochaven
Strengths:AWESOME BIKE!!! It is super strong and comes with a lot of the more expesive parts that come on the Rythem star like the Hoffman Super Stem, and 3 piece cranks! Usually you only get hi-ten bars when you buy a bike with a chromoly mainframe. I used it for street, park, dirt, vert, and even flatland sometimes, and nothing came loose everything is perfect. The weight isn't too heavy for bunnyhops! I do just fine!The 36 spoked wheels work just as well as a pair of 48 spoked wheels.The duro jumper tires are great for any kind of riding!
Weaknesses:the grips might be a little slippery, but they are easily replaced.
Similar Products Used:The Hoffman rythem star which is the same thing exept it has a full cromo frame and chain tenshioners. It even weighs the same too!
Bike Setup:I bought new Pryme tat-2 grips which look great the all green parts. I also added a red oddysey slic cable, and blue redline chain tenshioners. I put some pegs on too for street and park.
Bottom Line:Why pay twice this price for the same thing while you can own the flow? great for any rider level! This bike is perfect for anyone! I love this bike and will buy products from Hoffman again! This is a strong bike!!!!
KEEP UP THE GOOD BIKE MAKING MAT!!

Favoriate Trail:pleasant hills
Duration Product Used:3 months
Price Paid: $275.00
Purchased At:eds bike shop
Strengths:very powerful cranks, handelbars and rims... ive punded alot into this bike and it still rides perfect!!!
Weaknesses:the only weakness on this bike is that it ways 37 lbs or up to 40 lbs. i would not recomend buying this bike if you are not that strong because you will need to pull up 40 lbs. but trust me, if you buy it you will be still pleased...
Similar Products Used:HOFFMAN RYTHEM they are basicly the same thing but just little things on the bike like the fork and chain...
Bike Setup:i ride mine mostly stock right now and im fine with everything on it...
Bottom Line:The bottom line is that this is a great and powerful bike to ride. If you buy this bike you will be greatly pleased with the parts that come stock. Usualy this bike will come with double wall rims if you have a good bike shop. This bike is the nicest bike i have ever had. I used to have a treck tr.20 ... that was nice, but this puts that bike out of the water... YOU HAVE TO GET THIS BIKE!!!!!!!

Favoriate Trail:5-Spot
Duration Product Used:3 months
Price Paid: $300.00
Purchased At:Sunset Cycle
Strengths:Awsome bike! It gives you your rythm and flow perfectly! It may be a bit heavy, but I lioke it, it proves strength! It gives you a very smooth ride, like riding a million bucks! A nice 3pc, and smooth landing is on it, and well as a great flex in the air. This bike is great, and at a great price compared to its almost identical match, the rythm, which hits around $450-$500!
Weaknesses:Really none. The only small thing that recently happened was from me pounding it, and the brake lever spring is peaking out a tad, that is it!
Similar Products Used:Hoffman Rythm. Don't go for it unless you are weak and can't pull up nearly 40 lbs. It is almost the same thing as the flow, just has the super fork and some tensors. But much more pricy!
Bike Setup:3pc crank, jump bars, platforms, usually double walls if you have a good bike shop, fair brake system, the works
Bottom Line:This bike is great for all you advancing trick learners. Sure, you could spend more, but why? I have pounded alot out of my bike, and it rides almost like new each time!
