| Pros | Wonderful framework, RST shocks are great | | Cons | Derailleur isn't the best. | | Verdict | Bike is a great for just cruising down a path, and on a road. the frame is light, but on the other hand is sturdy enough to withstand some abuse. your best bet would be to do something about the derailleur though. | | Recommended for: Recreational riders |
| Pros | Great frame and the riding position is comfortable | | Cons | Rear derailleur and fork. Bottom bracket was a little clunky until my mechanic taped the threads. | | Verdict | Update the derailleur and fork and you get a great hard tail for little money. Wheelbase is a bit short for crazy down hilling. Not a great climbing bike because of its weight forward design. If you can have only one bike for everything this is a great one. | | Recommended for: Recreational riders |
| Pros | Great frame, even after 6 years of everyday riding. Geometry is great, centre of gravity is Very low which makes no handed riding a breeze. I've tackled it all on this bike except big drops. | | Cons | Wheels arent the strongest, warp easily. The components, although great if taken care of, show their lack of quality over a period of time. | | Verdict | If you are a regular commuter and you plan to tackle the trails once in awhile, this bike will take alot of beating (not that I suggest it). I'm acually going to scrap most of the components on it, and start a new build with my current 4300. | | Recommended for: Anyone |
| Pros | This bike has a sturdy frame and I like how the handle bar is shaped | | Cons | Bad components, bad shock, no disk brakes, a little heavy | | Verdict | This would be a great bike for people just getting in to the sport of mountain biking. | | Recommended for: First-time buyers |
| Pros | Sturdy frame, excellent RST shocks, optional Shimano disc breaks which are awesome | | Cons | Derailleur started giving me a bit of trouble after 1.5 years of riding; I can't use my 8th gear setting on the subsets... probably my fault | | Verdict | I loved this bike when I first got it, and I still do. It's tough, which goes well for me, as I'm not a gentle rider. Coming from an 18-speed hybrid to this, it was a world of difference. The bike is light yet sturdy, and has put up with quite a few miles and lots of abuse with minimal maintenance. Perfect for those who consider themselves mountain bikers but don't ride three times a week. | | Recommended for: Value seekers |
