Bike Setup:
Full SLX groupset, On-One carbon forks, fleegle bars
Bottom Line:
Absolutely brilliant bike, climbs like a mountain goat, decends well and feels nothing like any other bike I've owned! This is my first 29er and I love it! Great value and its amazing what it rolls over for a rigid. I've come from my 26er full sus (which now feels heavy and cumbersome!) Would recommend this bike to everyone, doesn't feel like a normal aluminum bike really compliant and comfortable. If you're looking for a light affordable race bike this is the one for you! If you're a bike tart it looks sick too!!!!

from Loveland, CO USA Date Reviewed: July 15, 2008
Duration Product Used:
Less than 1 month
Price Paid:
$2250.00
Purchased At:
Redstone Cyclery
Strengths:
Very Light, great climber, more nimble than expected
Weaknesses:
Getting used to center of gravity change
Similar Products Used:
On One Inbred
Bike Setup:
XT package, Juicy 5, Stylo cranks, Race Face bar and stem
Bottom Line:
This bike performs better than expected, is comfortable on long rides (over 50 miles), climbs very well, smooths out the bumps on the downhill, rolls over baby heads with ease, much more responsive than I expected. My last bike was a 16.5 inch Litespeed hardtail 26er, very small and compact so there is a learning curve with this bike, but it is a welcomed change. Could not be happier!
