    Date Reviewed: August 3, 2008
    Favorite Trail:Pfalzwald Germany
    Duration Product Used:3 months
    Price Paid: $600.00
    Purchased At:Wheel World
    Strengths:The frame and rear shock are awesome.
    Weaknesses:I have had no problems so far.
    Similar Products Used:Motobecane 700HT, Ibex Alpine
    Bike Setup:All custom. I have Rock Shox Totem Solo-air on the front, Easton AM Havoc wheelset, SRAM X.0 triggers and rear derailleur, X.9 front, Avid Code 203mm F and R, Truvativ Noir Crankset, Ritchey carbon rizer bar and stem, and Chris King headset.
    Bottom Line:I bought the frame only and it came with the rear shock. I have had no problems at all with it. It took some getting used to when climbing long, steep hills but I can do it now a little easier. The downhill is where this bike rocks. I have hit some pretty hard drops (6-8 ft.) and have not had any problems. The rear shock soaks everything up without a problem. It is difficult to tell if I like this bike so much because of the other components I have installed on it or if the frame is really this nice.

    Date Reviewed: March 22, 2008
    Favorite Trail:Waikanaw
    Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
    Price Paid: $1500.00
    Purchased At:Bike Barn Wellington
    Strengths:Frame, suspension, wheels, brakes, pedals
    Weaknesses:None that I can find
    Similar Products Used:Kona Dawg
    Bike Setup:Factory standard
    Bottom Line:This biek rocks. Okay I was used to a hard tail, but it is built like a tank. Is a little heavy at 18kg however will go over, up, down and across anything. If it had a motor it would never stop. Handles the skate board park ramps very well, steps are a breeze, you can drop it, jump it, xc it and it takes all in its stide. Just drop down the front shocks to 110mm and off you go up the hill as easy as you do down the hill. Point down the hill and hold on - it takes it all.

    Is an awesome bike and for 3k NZD from Bike Barn I cannot recommend it enough.

    Favorite Trail:the quarry
    Duration Product Used:3 months
    Price Paid: $1200.00
    Purchased At:Chain Reaction Cycles
    Strengths:strong frame, dhx 4 is great for climbing nd down hill. strong bars and stem and grippy tires.
    Weaknesses:8" disc rotos would be nice, the 180mm lack the power that the bigger ones would give. wheel set is a bit crap, im thinking of getting halo sas rims.
    Similar Products Used:none that are any good.
    Bike Setup:This is the 2006 deluxe. 66 vf2's, maxxis minion dh 2.3, wtb saddle, raceface bar, stem, cranks, seat post, DMR v12's
    Bottom Line:great all rounder bike, very stable and manovarable on the north shore because it is short and lighter than other entry level freeride bikes. i love this bike, it is my first full sus and it is perfect for me, it is fine for dirt jumps nd park riding but is much better ripping through the trees. This is the little bro of the stinky. this is the do it all version of the stinky, it is a great bike to have.

    Favorite Trail:Dürrgraben
    Duration Product Used:1 Year
    Price Paid: $2500.00
    Purchased At:Andersbiken
    Strengths:Strong Stiff Frame, nice race face parts on it, very good to ride in all areas (i use the bike for cross country riding and also for riding in bikeparks or heavy downhills in the alps)
    Weaknesses:the brackes need to be changed and the original wheelset is a very bad quality sometimes a litte bit heavy.
    Similar Products Used:Spec. Big Hit, Kona Stinky Delux, Canyon Big Mountian, Commercial Mini DH, Kona Mokomoko
    Bike Setup:Brakes changed to oro bianco (best brake i have ever seen), using the MZ 66 for all mountian and using a Totem Coil for Freeridestuff
    Bottom Line:I think the coiler is a good bike for all contidions from cross country to downhill, and you would not bracke that frame so easy, I like it because now i have what i am searching for a long time "ONE BIKE FOR ALL !!
