Date Reviewed: July 27, 2000
Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
Strengths:The bike handles great in the trails. My Oryx came with jett xc so i'm pretty happy with them. Nice and light for the up and down type of riding I do.
Weaknesses:I'm having problems with my front derailer. so there is still some fine tunning.
Bottom Line:A great buy for the buck and a quality Canada bike.This bike is for the rec. rider but can take the punishment.

Submitted by Allan Caron a Cross-Country Rider from Terrace Bay, Ontario
Date Reviewed: December 19, 1999
Favoriate Trail:
Various around area
Duration Product Used:
6 months
Strengths:
Price is right.
Seems good for a heavy rider like me (200+ lbs).
Nice tough frame and very responsive.
Good for a rider who is starting to get serious and can upgrade parts as they break :)
Weaknesses:
Jett C's have got to go.
Will also go clipless next year.
May need riser bars also, I find I am bent over too far forward, especially on steep downhills ( don't like to endo :( ).
Similar Products Used:
Kona Cinder Cone
Kona Fire Mountain
Peugeot Hurricane Creek
Bike Setup:
Stock everything except upgraded shocks to Judy XC
Bottom Line:I like this bike, but anything is better than the '87 Norco Stubble Jumper I rode for several years before this. Nice bike to just hop on and go on any terrain. Takes a good beating on the rough downhills and climbs nice. Good through deep mud, creeks, bush and tight single track. I go through stuff I could never think of going through before. This bike feels more nimble and responsive than higher priced bikes.

Submitted by Bob Malone a Weekend Warrior from Montreal, Canada
Date Reviewed: August 1, 1999
Duration Product Used:
less than 1 month
Strengths:
Looks great, Made in Canada aluminim Frame, Good value for the buck
Weaknesses:
Some original parts must be upgraded right away (Jet C's)
Similar Products Used:
Specialized Hardrock,
Kona Lava Dome
Bike Setup:
Judy XC
Bottom Line:This thing handles great going down hill and climbs like a mountain goat. Aluminim frame is light and feels strong (so far) even for a 200lbs guy like me. Before you buy, give this thing a try. After a quick upgrade or to, it ROCKS.
Overall Rating:4
