    Date Reviewed: October 9, 2001
    Duration Product Used:1 Year
    Price Paid: $1200.00
    Strengths:This bike sucks. Nothing good. Never buy an Oryx
    Weaknesses:For this much money, they could have spaced the water bottle mounts properly. Also, my Rock Shox's broke right open and leaked fluid because the cable plugs hit the adjustment cap when the front turn turns too far. Have to have bike shop get the torch out to move the cable plugs under the frame and the bottle mounts. Complete junk.
    Similar Products Used:Good bikes
    Bike Setup:Decent components
    Bottom Line:Absolute Garbage. Poorly made. Things sloppily and carelessly soldered together.

    Bike Setup:
    I've replaced the Judy XL with a Marzocchi Mr. T and put on different saddle, post, stem and bar.
    Bottom Line:This bike rocks. For free ride it takes anything you throw at it and it's not too bad for DH DS And i tried a 24hr xc race on it (please don't try this i liked going on the downhill sections of the trail but had to walk her up most hills. Other than that i love her and she's ma baby. Oh and it's the sweetest thing i've evertried for fire roads down mountains. Very responsive
