$1300.00 | | Purchased At: | LBS | | Strengths: | This bike is the ultimate XC trailbike for the dinero. it climbs like no tomarrow with very little pedal bob, and loves tight twisty singletrack. The frame welds on Rockies are top notch along with the paintjob. | | Weaknesses: | it is a touch heavy for an xc race bike. 29ish pounds | | Similar Products Used: | GT IDXC, Research Dynamics Singlespeed, Specialized Hardtail, Cannondale HT | | Bike Setup: | 07 Element 10- stock except for a WTB saddle | | Bottom Line: | If you are a beginner racer or xc trail rider this bike rides very nice and you will be happy, dont buy this if you are a weight weenie. | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$2560.00 | | Purchased At: | FMF Sport Group, France | | Strengths: | I think a great strength of this bike is the frame associated to the Fox RP3 custom shock. The suspension system is really good. The saddle is very good too. | | Weaknesses: | All components are entry level components! | | Similar Products Used: | none | | Bike Setup: | Marzocchi Gran Fondo Race 3 105mm fork replaced by a Rock Shox Tora Air 100mm, Fox RP3 100mm shock, Cane Creek headset, Easton EA30 stem and handlebar, Hayes Sole brakes, Deore shifters, Deore front and XT rear gearings with Deore cog-set, squared axis bottom bracket (Shimano M460), platform pedals, Alex DP17 spokes with DT Champion spokes and Deore hubs replaces by Mavic CrossRide wheels, IRC Serac tires replaced by Hutchinson Python tires, Easton EA30 seatpost replaced by a Thomson Elite one, RMB saddle replaced by a Specialized Rival one.
| | Bottom Line: | In fact, you pay the frame and the shock, that's all. But it is a really good suspension system and you can change the components after, when you have some money...
I had some components when I purchased the bike so it is a little better than the stock one but it can be improved yet.
When you go down hill, you have good sensations, the shock is smooth. When you climb, the bike is efficient.
I ride from 50 to 100km rides and this bike suits my use. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
