| FavoriteTrail: | Corte de Madera |
| Duration Product Used: | 2 Years |
| Price Paid: | $3000 |
| Purchased At: | Used |
| Strengths: | Full suspension sub 24 lbs. This bike is the best climber ever. The ELO Lefty is super plush and the lockout is a dream! Ultimate bike for XC racing and marathons. |
| Weaknesses: | Short (2.3") rear travel makes bike less suitable for down hill and really rough terain. Cannondales SI cranks require frequent changes of bearings. |
| Similar Products Tried: | Cannondale Rush, Cannondale V900 |
| Bike Setup: | Lefty ELO, full XTR, SI integrated cranks, Easton post and handlebar. |
| Bottom Line: | This got to be the best fast mtb ever. Lighter then my new Rush Carbon Team. Not ultimate for the freerider, but a XC racer's dream! |

| Strengths: | This Bike is awesome!!!!!! every thing is great!!! I bought this bike for my kid. He's 5'1' and the small fits him great. It's a great bike. Great components. |
| Weaknesses: | None, yet.I hope there never will be any. |
| Similar Products Tried: | His old bike was A Scott RC 24. Is was junk! I wish I had gotten him the better Scott RC JR. |
| Bike Setup: | Completely Stock |
| Bottom Line: | As I said earlier, I bought this bike for my 5'1'' son. it's a small and it fits him perfect. He's a serious racer, so I got him the best. It worth every cent. HE'S SO FAST ON IT!! I have a rush 2000, and he blew by me on our first ride with that bike. I was so embarrassed that I got beat by my 12 year old son because I'm in the sport class,and he just won his first beginner class. I wish I had one now. This bike is perfect. If you want your kid to be super competitive and fast get he/she this bike. Or if you want get it for your self. I'm a bike geek, and truly obsessed over bike weights. This bike scores a 5 out of 5 with me. If you or your kid needs a good, light, fast, reliable race bike buy this bike!!!!! |
