    Submitted by Mike a from Honolulu, HI USA
    Date Reviewed: October 9, 2006
    Favorite Trail:St. Louis
    Duration Product Used:6 months
    Purchased At:Island Triathlon & Bike
    Strengths:Hayes Sole XC full hydraulic disc brakes & levers
    SRAM X-7 Trigger shifters
    RockShox Tora 302 Air, 100mm travel

    The frame is designed to enable multiple styles of riding. I've used it to do DH, freeride, dirt jumps, XC, enduro racing and slow rides with my girlfriend to the beach.
    Weaknesses:Crankset TruVativ 5D, Power spline; 22/32/44T, big ring bent and there is a cracking noise coming from the BB.
    Wheels WTB SpeedDisc hubs; WTB SpeedDisc 32h rims, both huds and rims were TOAST after a month of riding. Note: I was doing DH runs alot.
    Saddle WTB Speed V Comp, totally broke off the rails after a crash during a DH race.


    Bike Setup:stock except for Sun Rims Fat Mammoth rims laced with a Dimension 20mm hub in the front and an XT hub in the rear
    Bottom Line:This bike is a rad climber. I can really hammer it up some steep rocky stuff. It launches off the jumps better than I can. Does well as an XC bike. Handles great and is very comfortable to ride.
