Add a review (form opens in right column) reviewed by nir4040   on June 23, 2009   Pros Plush and efficient suspension. Light bike (given the >6" travel). Hayes stroker are good brakes. Got me the 2008 model in 2009 at a great price. Immediately replaced the wheels (XT hubs and DT rims) and BB (SLX) set which use to be the weak link in my 2006. I hope the 2008 will last longer than my 2006 Reign 0 (was good bike but lasted less than 2 years). Cons No cons. Awesome bike so far. reviewed by beans69   on November 27, 2007   Pros very plush, easy to set up suspension, great pedal efficency, awesome parts spec, feels like you are going slow, but the times don't lie... Cons tires, change them to kenda nevegals, 2.35 front, 2.10 rear Verdict Buy this bike, it can handle the full spectrum of riding, everything from cross country to freeride, rock rides really well too.
