| Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month |
| Price Paid: | $357 |
| Purchased At: | King's Bike Shop, Manila |
| Strengths: | Lightweight, excellent shock absorption characteristics, eye-catching design |
| Weaknesses: | Glossy paint scratches easily (very sensitive--you've got to be careful of nearby sharp or even dull pointed objects) |
| Bike Setup: | Shimano Deore LX Groupset, DNM Burner Series and Santour XCR Suspensions, Mavic 223 Rims, Panaracer 1.95 Mach SS, Tires, Canecreek S3, FSA FR200 |
| Bottom Line: | It's the best XC Full Suspension Bike at a reasonable price...The design complements comfort and stability on rough roads when paired with entry-level or high-end supension systems...Riding on pavements makes you feel as if you're floating in the air...I recommend it for riders who enjoy "torturing" their MTB's while experiencing some sense of "calmness"... |
