Description:





Submitted by Taylor a Downhiller from Helena, MT, USA
Date Reviewed: June 11, 2005
Favorite Trail:Pinecrest
Duration Product Used:2 Years
Price Paid: $320.00
Purchased At:Big Sky Cyclery www.bigskybikes.com
Strengths:Good kids bike, aluminum allows fairly light weight.
Weaknesses:Needs a better/longer fork and shock.
Similar Products Used:None found.
Bike Setup:Hot-rodded up by dad who manages a bike shop. Has a 4" Manitou fork with an Avid cable disc brake. Used the stock rim just relaced to a Shimano disc hub. I am trying to find a different coil shock for the rear as the stocker is a bit inadequate for my 90lb 11 year old. Of course the new fork is perfect, but MAY void the warranty!
Bottom Line:Good kids bike, just needs a little help in the suspension, but hey, it's only a $300 kids bike. It has been to the ski hills and survived. My son was the only kid in the lift line while everybody else was on $6000 DH bikes. Can't wait until they get serious for the little groms and build an adequate bike.
