Price Paid:  $400.00 at Cyclepath

Bike Setup:
mostly road with some trail riding

Summary:
An excellent bike for the money. For the somewhat serious rider who demands good quaulity for the price, this is the bike for them.It should last years, and with the aluminum frame, the bike is worthy of upgrading to keep it curent.

Strengths:
The frame is not chromolly but it is alluminum, which is extremely light,the front suspension does not bottom out easily. Shifting is effortless with the shamano rapid fire shifters. The brakes are very strong, I had to get them adjusted so I wouldn't get thrown! The adjustable handle bar angle is a nice feature. Both wheels are quick release, as is the seat post, which has a shock absorber with adjustable rebound. all in all, it is a superb ride, I ride it daily at least 15 km.

Weaknesses:
Plastic pedals-- could do with som alloy or metal ones for better grip on bumps.

Similar Products Used:
