| Pros | A great all around MTB with a solid frame. | | Cons | None yet | | Recommended for: Anyone |
| Pros | Bike has been good so far. Solid components from the deore to the rock shock dart3 w/ lock out and avid disc brakes. Took it into a LBS to have it tuned up and checked and they said it was a solid bike. | | Cons | Nothing as of yet, | | Verdict | Good bike for the money. Bought mine for under 600. | | Recommended for: First-time buyers |
| Pros | Affordable (paid 695), good components, pretty light, avid disc brakes | | Cons | no lockout on Tora fork would have been nice, seat | | Verdict | Really enjoy riding this bike, its taken everything I have thrown at it, I like the Deore components and the Avid disc brakes, sadly I bent the seat on my first fall which was kind of sad and I would really enjoy a lockout for the long climbs. All together its a great start out cross country bike for less than $700. | | Recommended for: Value seekers |
