Reviews
Pros: Price, Hydralic brakes, XT Derailaur, SLX shifters, Rock Shox 3.2 rear, Tora forks, Panaracer XC Fire Pro tires, this whole bike ROCKS for the money.
Cons: Grips were too small switched to Oury for my big hands, they are great. Pedals were junk, Shimano M-540's now. Much better.
Recommendation: A Full Suspension bike with Juicy Hydralic brakes, Rock Shox 3.2, XT derailaur for $999.95, and over 5 inches front and rear. 33 lbs.. and it looks great. Whats not to like?? Purchased at BikesDirect.com.

Cons: There is something strange about the geometry of this bike, it feels small even when riding the right size. Not as maneuverable as I expected.
Recommendation: I don't own this bike but I've ridden it a couple times. This isn't bad for the money but the frame just doesn't feel right to me.
