Date Reviewed: April 24, 2008 | | Favoriate Trail: | Lac Blanc | | Duration Product Used: | 6 months | | Price Paid: |
$3200.00 | | Purchased At: | BS Trading | | Strengths: | Very stiff and enough light to ride small uphills.
This bike is amazing on downhills and jumps. | | Weaknesses: | The rear travel (115mm) is quite uncomfortable on rocky sections/ U must untighten the shock bolts to put pression onto the FoxRP23. | | Similar Products Used: | Hardtails (vario tequila, Azonic Steelhead, Spank Puff), Intense Tazer, 4X oriented bikes. | | Bike Setup: | Pike 426, Spank Stiffie, HopeM4, E13 LG1, XT ant Saint, Sunline, NC17, minion 42A 2.5 | | Bottom Line: | This bike is for riders that are found of hartails but wanna have a suspended bike that can match any trail with a bit of confort.
Really nice to ride on downhill sections and jumps. It does not have the travel of a fr.Dh bike, of course, but the geometry will allow an experimented rider to tackel any singletrack.
My setup is quite heavy (16,3 kG) for 4X races, especially the wheels.
I'm found of this bike, one of the best I've ridden.
This bike isn't for average riders that have never ridden hardtails because because it does not allow to make any faults.
It is simply the most fun bike I never tried. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: October 21, 2007 | | Favoriate Trail: | Freeway to Ridgecrest@Norris | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Purchased At: | Online | | Strengths: | Handmade frame.Handling.Pedals great. | | Weaknesses: | None | | Similar Products Used: | Heckler,Bullit,ASX,Haro Extreme,Haro Werks DSR,Specialized Enduro. | | Bike Setup: | Marzocchi Z.1 FR SL.Single front ring 32T,Hayes 6" hydro brakes. | | Bottom Line: | 2005 Ndiza review.After riding several bikes throughout the years.I found the 2005 Morewood Ndiza to be an immediate noticeable differance.
First the pedaling efficientcy is immpecable with the Manitiou Swinger air shock on this frame.
Second is the pretty quick precise handing because it has perfect geometry 67* HA,etc.It manuals easy & wheelies great which makes riding even more fun.It's stiff without any frame flex because it has boxed downtube & swingarm.Great plushness but firm suspension action.
It feels different from a Blur4x because the Blur4x frame is slightly plusher feeling,but handles slower & is NOT as lively.My friend has a Blur 4x & was quickly impressed with the Ndiza today.
Basically i can't wait to put lot's of miles on my Ndiza.Also look forward to getting back to some 4x style of riding on the Ndiza which is what it's primarily designed for.
Hey, i trailrode mine today for the first time & it will serve you well as a great trailbike.I would go with a 4" fork or even better a fork with adjustable travel to suit your needs.Note that the Ndiza does have a 16" tall seatube so you will need a "long seatpost" to trailride it if your tall.
Rock on!

Date Reviewed: April 25, 2007 | | Favoriate Trail: | Auburn, Downieville, local BMX | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Purchased At: | Grassroots | | Strengths: | Bike looks hot, I like the white finish. Square tubing with gussets where they need to be, yet still remain light. Bike is low slung and FAST. I like that the BB, headtube, and seattube are faced. Geometry is perfect for all around riding and super quick for the track. | | Weaknesses: | Its a bit flexy, but thats single pivot for you. It is still much more stiff than other single pivot bikes I've ridden. No cable tie downs till you hit the rear triangle, but I have the 06, and I think this is fixed on the 07. | | Similar Products Used: | Too many to list. | | Bike Setup: | 36/rp23 king hubs/headset. x9, thompson, saint ect. | | Bottom Line: | This bike rocks...Super Beefy and very fast. If you don't do big hucks and want a bike that is fast and smooth, its for you. It is in over its head in the rocky stuff, but the moment the trail gets smooth with washboard surfaces and bumps that you can pump, it's in it's element. Best bike i've had for manuals and jumps. Fair price given it's playing field.

Date Reviewed: January 26, 2007 | | Favoriate Trail: | Mission Peak | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Purchased At: | Morewood Grassroots Team | | Strengths: | Light and rigid, rails berms, with the right shock feels like a hardtail, well balanced for jumping, outstanding workmanship, product support from Morewood Bikes is second to non and works well at the local Bmx tracks as well as any National level DS / 4X event. | | Weaknesses: | Have not found one yet. | | Similar Products Used: | Santa Cruz 4X, Mongoose and Azonic. | | Bike Setup: | Rock Shox Pike, Sun rims, Race Face NS cranks, Azonic stem and bars, ODI grips, Intense tires, SDG saddle, Hayes MX-1 brakes, Manitou 4-Way air shock and Chris King hubs. | | Bottom Line: | I have raced the Ndiza ST 4X bike for the last 14 months and cannot find any fualts with it. The frame is rock solid and feels right at home on any Bmx / DS / 4X track. It is a little twitchy at high speeds, but will hold it's own on most DH course's. The Ndiza is well recommended, as is Morewood Bikes the company. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
