$7900.00 | | Purchased At: | NSW | | Strengths: | Strong frame. Great for slamming down hard. Sticks to a line on cornering but at the expense of no simultaneous shock movement. Won't bob when out of saddle peddling flat out. | | Weaknesses: | Sid Air shock is dreadfull. I replaced it with a fox vanilaRC. Don't get much for a lot of $$. Like all single pivots, bad brake-jack, suspension locks out under braking & every other fault of single pivot designs. Bobs flat out when pedaling seated if don't have a stable platform shock. | | Similar Products Used: | FSR suspension; both norco and specialized 5 inch travel. | | Bike Setup: | stans no tubes. Fox vanila RC rear shock - need to set it with heaps of sag! Low seat post height. | | Bottom Line: | Why would you buy a single pivot design or other suspension desing when there is FSR rear suspension out there on a few brands to chose from. Don't try kidding yourself and spending big $$ on poor performance. Remember, Steve Peat could win the world cup on even a tricycle; it's not the bike. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$1200.00 | | Purchased At: | local shop | | Strengths: | Relatively light for the travel, super stiff, single pivot, hand built. | | Weaknesses: | None that I have noticed, the frame amplifies all sounds on the bike, loud hubs, rattling chain, etc. | | Similar Products Used: | Intense Uzzi SLX, Santa Cruz Heckler, Specialized FSR, Cheeta Prowler, Cannondale Super V. | | Bike Setup: | Romic rear shock (makes all the difference), full XTR, Grimeca 4pot brakes, Nokian NBX tires, Thomson post and stem,easton bar, Fox Talas fork. | | Bottom Line: | This is by far the funnest bike I have ever owned!! It climbs very well, pedals great, feels lighter than it is, dives into turns like a GPmoto bike, likes to take to the air, and is super stable and predictable. My advise is to go and buy an Orange, put on a Romic shock and you will have one great machine. On the plus side not everyone and there mother has one on the trail. The best bike I have ever thrown a leg over!! | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
