Reviews
Pros
Great components and frame for the price
Cons
Heavy, the rims got a little out of true very easily
Review
I just got this bike as my first "real" mountain bike. Mine has the hydraulic disk brakes and it was only $500. Been great so far. I'm learning how to wheelie and other very beginner tricks/techniques on it and it has been great.
Pros
Really strong frame for this heavy rider.
Cons
None at this time
Review
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.
