Submitted by D Houston a Cross Country Rider from Auburn, Ca, US
Date Reviewed: June 7, 2008
Favorite Trail:Foresthill Divide Loop
Duration Product Used:1 Year
Price Paid: $1300.00
Purchased At:Victory Velo
Strengths:Excellent value for dollar. Well equipped and the frame while light and supple is stiff and durable.
Weaknesses:Juicy Fives are a bit undersized and a underwhelming in performance compared to other Avid products. Stock handle bars were a bit squat.
Similar Products Used:Kona Unit 2-9
Bike Setup:Avid Juicy Fives, Tru vativ crank, wtb wheel set other Felt components (Saddle,stem, etc.)REBA 29ers shock.
Bottom Line:I love this bike. It has turned me into a true convert. I have a Moots 26' YBB collecting dust ($5,500 invested) because it does not compare in comfort or ride. I have my eyes on an Orbea Alma 29er for gears.
