Description: (from santacruzmtb.com)

Add a review (form opens in right column) reviewed by Juan_Gear   on November 8, 2008   Pros Stong, light, feels like a hard tail out of the saddle Cons No worrys at all Verdict I use it as a downhill bike, mostly, 2.4 moto raptors, big brakes reviewed by kook   on April 12, 2007   Pros The geometry takes the bob out of going up hills. I noticed this the first 100 yards of riding. I have owned one for 18 monthes now with no complaints, Cons rear tire width is limited but in xc you dont want a big tire anyway. Verdict Im a gear junky and always looking for better. Nothing yet. Im sticking with Santa Cruz reviewed by mudhunny   on March 15, 2007   Pros Fast & light ride even during climbs Fox F100 RLT fork - cushy & easy to lock out anodized paint job looks sharp! Cons XS size needs some customization for a better women's fit (it came with a 175 crank & im only 5'0") Verdict You'll have an advantage on the climbs plus a smooth ride with the rear suspension.
