Favoriate Trail:Tour de Suds
Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
Price Paid: $795.00
Purchased At:ebay
Strengths:Very light for bike in this price range. All around great deal, Great looking and great to ride
Weaknesses:Havent found any yet but will repost if i find any. The only thing i havent loved about it is that the stock grips are like ice when riding with sweaty hands, so new grips or gloves are recommended.
Similar Products Used:rented a Trek Fuel 90 for a day, first real mtb. my other bike was a mongoose xr 100 FS walmart bike.
Bike Setup:Stock
Bottom Line:Great bike for the money, rides much better than the Trek i rode and is obviously a much better bike than the Mongoose. Perfect for someone who needs a FS MTB for under $1000 that rides really nice, is light and looks great.

Submitted by Ron a Cross Country Rider from Mesa AZ. USA
Date Reviewed: May 31, 2004
Favoriate Trail:Hawes trail in Mesa Az
Duration Product Used:6 months
Price Paid: $795.00
Purchased At:Cycle Spectrum
Strengths:Great frame and components. All sealed bearings in suspension pivots and beefy square stays.
Weaknesses:Only available in black.
Similar Products Used:Titus, Ellsworth
Bike Setup:I set mine up pretty much as it came out of the box. I changed the grips and put on a different set of tires and eggbeater clipless pedals. I might upgrade the fork after awhile to a longer travel model. I wish I had known Motobecane was coming out with the Motobecane Fantom DS Elite since it already has the adj. travel frt and rear shock.
Bottom Line:I looked at a lot of bikes before purchasing this one. The components and frame can`t be beat for the price. I really liked the Titus but I got a whole bike for about 1/2 of what just the Titus frame cost!
