Love the bike. | | Weaknesses: | Haven't found one yet. | | Similar Products Used: | FSR Team DH | | Bike Setup: | Hayes, Xvert Carbon | | Bottom Line: | You need an M1 to be competetive. It will take the big hits and drops but is plush enough for the little things. It gives you the confidence to go fast.

The bike rides smooth, it's like riding on a cloud, even when i'm going down a mountian. The tires grip well in all elements, although i haven't tried it in snow yet. | | Weaknesses: |
It has none. I love my bike. | | Similar Products Used: |
Ive riden the cannondale killer v 200 and my bud says her Kona manomano is even better than this bike...i think she did a review too. | | Bottom Line: | Bottom line--this bike kicks ass. | Overall Rating: |
