Reviews
Pros
lightweight, good handling, smooth shifting
Cons
the back hub starting making a grinding noise so i had to replace it. since then it has been perfect.
Review
a great bike for the money
Pros
Very light weight bike. Great look. Solid components. Great value for a overall solid bike.
Cons
-Stock tires need upgrading to a more knobby tire if riding rougher terrain.
-My back hub started making a funny noise after a couple rides....the shop advised it's not a safety issue, but the cones on the rear could have been machined a little better, but the shop just added a little more lube and now noise is very faint...can't hear on track anyway.
Review
Very happy with this bike for my first MTB. Looking forward to many great rides.
Pros
Great bike with upgraded components from the Rockhopper Comp 2007
Cons
Tires aren't very durable. After four rides I pierced the tire with a small object that pierced the tube.
Review
