Pros: I bought a 2008 KHS XC-104 on closeout from Bob's Bikes and it is a very stable and predictable ride. For me the geometry of this bike is perfect. The frame design with the top bar dropping away is excellent design for men-you know what I mean. The frame seems to be pretty much bullet proof.

Cons: I broke the stem at Coranado Heights. Then I tanked the forks at Nu-Draper. Both times Bob's Bikes stepped up and quickly replaced the items. The bike needs a few quality component upgrades to get it up to 5 stars.

Recommendation: Buy one on closeout and upgrade the forks, stem, seat ,pedals, add a headlocker and a bashguard and you shoould be good to wail on it with no fear. That's what I do. Love the KHS.
