$2500.00 | | Purchased At: | simons bikeshop | | Strengths: | tough bike, relativly light great for technical climbing and obstacle clearing. , adjustable suspension gives geniuine multiple applications for bike,very plush when set to 5 inches of travel. | | Weaknesses: | none so far | | Similar Products Used: | santa cruz blur classic and xc, cannondale prophet | | Bike Setup: | totally stock for team version excpt i swapped riser bars for flat ec70's | | Bottom Line: | great bike so far
i swapped frm my blur xc to this bike due to ongoing pivot problems on the blur.
this bike does clear obstacles noticably better than the blur probably due to the higher bottom bracket.
slightly shorter top tube than the blur but fine with a laid back post
my use for the bike is mainly for racing over longer distances from 100kms to 8 hour series and it seems perfect for the job. tight handling on 4 inch travel and noticibly more relaxed on 5 inch
ill post a long term review down the line. but great so far

$2300.00 | | Purchased At: | River Sports Outfitters | | Strengths: | Extreemly smooth suspension
Frame and Paint quality
| | Weaknesses: | none so far | | Similar Products Used: | Cannondale Scalpel
Specialized Stump Jumper | | Bike Setup: | XT,LX (Stock) | | Bottom Line: | I purchased the ETSX 50 after I sold my scalpel looking for a bike that was a bit smoother on these rough East Tenn. trails. I sacrificed some quality when it comes to the level of componets and, obviously a few pounds. The bike weighs in at 28.8lbs, which is still very light for a 5" travel bike. This bike rides extreemly well. It soaks up hits and climbs as well as it descends. The rear suspension has 3 settings 4", 4.5" and, 5". It is adjustable with the flip of a cam. The 4" and the 5" ride very differently. The 4" setting is more cross country race like. The 5" is fun to go downhill. I usually leave it on 5" throughout a casual ride. I highly reccomend this bike. Looking forward to some endurance races with this thing. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Hand welded in Canada | | Weaknesses: | Price? But you get what you pay for | | Similar Products Used: | Jamis Dakar Pro | | Bike Setup: | X.O, Marta SL, Easton, Race Face, Tune hubs, Sapim CX Ray spokes, DT rims | | Bottom Line: | Unbelieveable, I custom built this bike and the performance is amazing. I have 5" front and rear and the bike is under 25lbs!!! If you need a 5" travel bike the ETS-X is it! If you want a 4" travel XC bike it can do that too! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
