Date Reviewed: August 4, 2006
Favoriate Trail:Tipperary Creek, Winter Park
Duration Product Used:Tested or demo'ed only
Strengths:The bike is comes equipped with great componentry, has awesome components for the money
Weaknesses:the I-Drive line has a very messed up geometry. I am 6 foot, and the size small has the right stand over, but is obviously too small. The large is the right size, but is very uncomfortable, stand over-wise
Similar Products Used:Ironhorse Azure, Specialized FSR
Bike Setup:Stock, in store
Bottom Line:If you have very long legs, this is a great bike at a great price, however, if you vaguely resemble a human being, the bike will probably be uncomfortable

Date Reviewed: June 28, 2006
Favoriate Trail:Camp Horizon
Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
Price Paid: $1300.00
Purchased At:GT Bikes
Strengths:The i-drive system is awsome at climbing, no problems with hills packed or over loose rock, awsome awsome!! Locking grips from the factory! Fast, responsive turning. Great components for under $1,500. This bike is good for all types of riders beginner to expert racer. GT is on its way back with this line of bikes.
Weaknesses:A little on the heavy side, and I found that climbing while seated allows the i-drive system to perform better. If you stand up and pump you get a little slippage on the rear.
Similar Products Used:Specalized Hardrok
Bike Setup:Avid mech. discs, Rock shox J4 with u turn for travel and rebound control, fox floating shock, deore LX shifters
Bottom Line:For the money you can't find a new bike with all the features that this bike has. If your looking for a bike to work hard for you this bike will do it. Up hill down hill, this bike does the job. Give GT a try.
