Favoriate Trail:Karapoti Challenge
Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
Price Paid: $2300.00
Purchased At:Vic Cycle
Strengths:Handles like a dream.
Not a great technical rider - this bike has given be alot more confidence.
Fast on the down hills.
Weaknesses:Little heavy (but get what you pay for).
Bike Setup:Out of box, (5" travel on back, 120mm on front).
Bottom Line:Known in NZ as a Cypher (equivalent to guys Trance X2).

Never owned a F/S bike before, best bike I have ever owned. Love the confidence I now have and especially love being able to bet my husband's hard tail on the down hills.

Really like the anodised finish, hopefully will help conceal a few of the accidents I am bound to have.

Great bike suited to all levels of riders.
