Add a review (form opens in right column) reviewed by FatDaddySlim   on November 25, 2009   Pros Really strong frame for this heavy rider. Cons None at this time Verdict Bought this 09 back in Sept. to start losing weight....and I have. Bought it because of the strength of the Triple Triangle. Bike is probably a little heavier than some other models, but I feel (opinion) it's kind of overbuilt....like the rider. I ride 13 mi home 2-3 per week, and have just started doing some offroad trails. Loving the bike for both. Would definately recommend this bike...especialy if strength is your priority vs. a little less weight. reviewed by guest on July 30, 2009   Pros Really Strong Frame, Disc Brakes are Nice, great bike for the price. Verdict Overall Awesome Bike! I have to 2005 Avalanche 2.0 and love it. reviewed by TangoTeamLeader   on April 14, 2009   Pros Disc brakes, good quality tires. Good mid-range components. Good price Cons Does not have hydraulic brakes on this version (most on 2009 version do) Verdict Overall this is a great bike for a beginner. We liked it so much we purchased the woman's version for my fiance.
