Submitted by Shawn D a Weekend Warrior from Ottawa, Ontario Canada
Date Reviewed: June 8, 2007
Favorite Trail:Kanata lakes
Duration Product Used:3 months
Price Paid: $2213.00
Purchased At:Joe Mamma, Ottawa Ontario Canada
Strengths:Excellent climber, excellent warranty, good components, nice travel
Weaknesses:No waterbottle cage mount, some components not as high end as I would like
Similar Products Used:Not applicable
Bike Setup:Upgraded shifters to Sram X9 gripshift and rear derailleur to X9
Bottom Line:This bike is a huge upgrade from my old Rocky hardtail. I can climb like there is not tomorrow and it can handle XC as well as downhill with no trouble. I was worried after riding a hardtail for 15 years that a full suspension would be harder to pedal but the geometry on this bike is great and I don't notice any bob at all. I did upgrade the shifters to gripshift and the rear derailleur but the rest of the bike is stock and I am loving it. The only thing missing is a place to mount a waterbottle cage. I would recommend this bike to anybody that wants a all-mountain bike for use on XC trails and downhills. I would have no problem riding this bike on the Northshore in Vancouver or on flat doubletrack race courses.
