Favoriate Trail:Fanshawe Lake Trail
Duration Product Used:3 months
Price Paid: $700.00
Purchased At:2007 model
Strengths:Aluminum saves weight as it is used all over the bike. Specalized rear end. Suspension setup is perfect for hardcore XC or freeriding. A great entry level full suspension bike.
Weaknesses:A month after I started riding it, the suspension components started making creaking noises when peddling hard. I am still trying to narrow down where the noise is coming from with my bike shop, but I just think things need to be lubed up and/or tightened.
Similar Products Used:KHS XC-104
Bike Setup:Stock so far. (Handle bars cut down 3/4" either side)
Bottom Line:-For someone that would like to buy a cheip full suspension for XC and free riding this bike is the one you want. The bike is great right out of the store.
-Oil F&R shocks make the bike heavier than it needs to be so the next step is air shocks.
-The 6" disc brakes are great on the XC trails, but if you do any fast down hill sections, 8" roters and/or hydralic system upgrade should be made as I felt I needed more braking at times in the downhill areas.
