Description:Noted as the most raced dual machine on the NORBA circuit, the Trazer is a jumping trail rider’s dream.
Featuring a monocoque front triangle, a M1 style strut for super-rigity, and a low stand over short BMX style cockpit, this 4 cross/dual specific design handles perfectly both on the trial and in the air.

Strengths:
Stiff as a mother. Sprints like its on crack.
Weaknesses:
not as light as I would like. frame is about 6 pounds. I wish they could have taken some material out to make it around 5 pounds but the extra pound makes it stiff in the headtube and bb area

Bottom Line:
The only two week things on this frame is the weight of the frame and the cost(1000 retail) if you can buy one used or through a shop trying to get rid of one then get it. You will not be sorry if you do, if you are looking for a bike thats designed for gate racing then this is it

Strengths:
The geometry of this frame is the best I've ever rode. The frame tracks awesome. It's light weight (relatively) & burley.
Weaknesses:
Maybe the price if you pay retail. It's a shorter frame which isn't a weakness for me but could be for some.

Bike Setup:
Manitou Black Comp, FSA Pig headset, Avid mechanical 6" disc brakes, XTR rear derailer, LX front derailer, hugi hubs, some various specialized enduro parts.
Bottom Line:
I couldn't be happier with the frame. I don't know why more people don't post a review. The price is for the complete bike by the way. Also, mine is a 2003 but I don't think there's any differences. Then again, there's not much info out there on this awesome bike. I'm somewhere just above a beginner but below intermediate so I don't have the skills to take this frame to it's limits but I think I would break long before the bike would. I've only taken it for one ride so far so maybe I'll post another review in a few months after some good drops. This bike is is MUCH more fun than the Uzzi ever was.
