Add a review (form opens in right column) reviewed by element22   on August 29, 2009   Pros Solid build. Decent parts, with all Fox suspension. Great brakes Cons Protective plate breaks easily and if your over 200lbs you need to upgrade the spring. A bit on the heavy side for a bike Verdict A decent bike that handles well except it`s a bit much to ride up long hills
