Add a review (form opens in right column) reviewed by guest on March 4, 2010   Pros Great Sram X-7 system. Good geometry and handling. Shocks work and seem to be holding up well Cons EXTREMELY poor paint quality. Saddle uncomfortable. Poor customer service from Price Point. Verdict Good FS bike for $1000. Major problem is poor paint quality. Within 20 miles, paint has rubbed off where brake and derailleur cables run. My 8 year old bike's paint looks better than this new bike. Price Point's customer service is poor. Don't expect much help on warranty issues. reviewed by tvance   on February 21, 2010   Pros Parts are quality, There is no mixing and matching between derailleurs and shifters Cons When the bike was shipped to me the frame was damaged from cable rub, but nothing a frame patch couldn't fix Verdict This bike is a XC machine. The weight is average for a bike like this and could be race ready with some upgrades. It has performed amazingly for me and if you don't mind having an unknown brand of bike than this is the right bike for you. reviewed by guest on November 1, 2009   Pros The rear shock is simple, low maintenance, the front shock locks out and the components are quality. Cons the standard handle bar is too narrow for my liking Verdict I highly recommend this bike if you do not require a recognized brand I think this is an excellent choice. Hydraulic Disc brakes and SRAM X-7 full suspension for a grand, no one else can compete with this set up. I have a dozen trips on mine and am very pleased. reviewed by tennisguy62   on July 1, 2009   Pros Good overall control and feel when riding challenging singletrack. Excellent smooth shifting throughout the range. Good brakes. Cons Wish it had a rear lockout for when I climb hill on paved roads. Not much of a problem, however, and unnoticeable off road. Verdict I highly recommend this bike. It is a great value. reviewed by Zak_Sharpe   on June 18, 2009   Pros everything Verdict I bought this bike almost a month ago for $1,000. And i have loved it ever since.
