Add a review (form opens in right column) reviewed by trek7k   on September 30, 2008   Pros 29-inch wheels; decent component mix on the factory build; solid frame. Cons Geometry doesn't feel completely refined – don't be surprised to get a little toe rub on tight turns. The bike seemed like it should have been lighter than it felt. Verdict A solid early attempt at a hardtail 29er by Rocky Mountain, though there are much better bikes to consider in this category. Recommended for: Recreational riders
