$376.00 | | Purchased At: | ebay | | Strengths: | price. durability, peddaling effeciency, | | Weaknesses: | front end can be twitchy at slow speeds, rims could be better, wtb seat didnt last long | | Similar Products Used: | specialized stump jumper. kona stinky, kona dawg deluxe | | Bike Setup: | all stock except marzocchi z1 alloy and a new seat | | Bottom Line: | i love this bike it has gotten me through everythin florida can throw at it with out a hitch, we might not have the crazziest drops but its still a tough bike. the only thing that ever broke was the ti rails on the seat. this bike also handles flawlessly once you get used to it. it. it needs to be pushed to get the best performance out of it but this might be because of my longer forks. all in all though this is a great bike and i enjoy it more than other $2000 bikes | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
