Date Reviewed: July 21, 2006
Duration Product Used:3 months
Price Paid: $1600.00
Purchased At:Mary's Mountain Cycle
Strengths:Good price, Good components
Weaknesses:Rims are a bit weak, stock rear spring is a bit light
Similar Products Used:Kona Blast, Kona Stuff
Bike Setup:Stock
Bottom Line:I bought the bike because i was moving more towards downhill riding. Its definately a solid bike for the price, and is comes with great components (hydro discs would be better but hey)

The stock rear spring was a bit light (400lb??) so it was upgraded to a 700 and now the bike feels more balanced.

I havent noticed any problems with the fork yet, but a dual crown would make this bike rock.
