a Recreational Rider
from Traverse City, MIchiganDate Reviewed: April 5, 2003
Strengths: Great gearing - XTR 9 speed
Great Brakes - Avid Arch supreme & single digit levers
Great handling
Family friendly
Strong & straight construction - Longbikes has a quad-length Jig for fabrication
Excellent design service
160mm Phil Woods 48 hole hubs - Sun Rhyno rims
Beautiful paint
Shifts like a dream - all 27 gears are usable!Weaknesses: It's a chick magnet - everyone wants to ride it!Bottom Line: Our Family quad is named Lucy. She was delivered by Santa (Greg Peek) from Longbikes. Greg worked with me to build a one of a kind special, designed to grow with my family, yet be compact and a nimble handler. Yes this bike is rock stable from a standing start to 55+ MPH. It fit's inside my Chevrolet Astro van, so we take it all over the country. (No S&S couplers) It is far more grceful than any other quad I've seen or ridden. Lucy is a show stopper. Faultless. Any family wanting to spend quality time and build a lifetime of memories for both you & your children should definately check into a family quad from Longbikes. The personal care and custom build is amazing! Lucy is a 10. However, if you've never tandemed, thie learning curve will be steep. This is NOT a novice bike! This is a FAST, heavy & somewhat top-heavy bike(when standing still) Additional riders should be tandem trained before teaming up on such an exotic, yet bike!
