    Date Reviewed: May 24, 2008
    Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
    Price Paid: $550.00
    Purchased At:ibexbikes.com
    Strengths:Frame and components, great value
    Weaknesses:Rear Shock, but considering the price it is really hard to complain.
    Similar Products Used:Brother has an Ellsworth Epiphany not much of a comparison
    Bike Setup:Stock
    Bottom Line:This is most likly the best bike you can buy in this price range. It has 120mm travel 4 link frame that has great geometry. The components work well together with the exception of the rear shock. The rear shock is way to soft, I am only 5'7" 165 Lbs and I have had to crank the shock all the way down to prevent to much sag just from sitting on the bike. I have ordered a Rock Shox Monarch 4.2 to fix this problem. Other than the rear shock I love the bike. Everything seems to work well together for such a great price. If you are looking for an entry level XC/All Mountain bike look no further.

    Bike Setup:Stock with upgraded vector axis rear shock(w/ lockout)
    Bottom Line:Totally happy with this bike. I've had it for 3 months now and I've taken it on every type of terrain imaginable here in Florida.. from sand to rocks to roots; and everything in between, it has easily taken me over every obstacle.

    It is also very sturdy. in the begining I wrecked a number of times and the bike just keeps goings. It's a great entry level bike thats perfect for a beginner.

    The Ibex customer service is very helpful if you run into any problems too. One of the best descisions i've made was to purchase this bike.

    Favoriate Trail:Stanky Creek (Memphis, TN)
    Duration Product Used:3 months
    Price Paid: $330.00
    Purchased At:Ebay
    Strengths:Excellent Value! Great starter bike for anyone interested in XC and Trail Riding.
    Weaknesses:Shocks, both front and rear...but considering the price I paid, you really can't call it a weakness.
    Similar Products Used:none
    Bike Setup:All stock except Shimano M520 clipless pedals and bought an upgraded rear shock.
    Bottom Line:The experience I have had with Jack (the owner) and Will (Jack's right hand man) have been unbelievable. I will buy from them again and again. I am already looking at getting a Asta Pro when the 2007 model come out. The customer service is second to none with these guys. That was definitly a concern buying on the internet. I have no complaints whatsoever. They put out a great product and also provide you with customer service poaralled by few.
