Bell 2004 Ghisallo Special Edition

Advantages: Sound geometry, Quality components
Disadvantages: Just much too heavy for it's own good

...It is not a common sight to see a well respected mountain bike company cross to makeing high quality BMX bikes. But specialized ahve certainly come very close. For a mountain biker or a BMXer a specialised 415 comes very close to being up there with the best of the BMX bikes. But they fell down on one key aspect of the conversion from Mountain bikes to the very different BMX bikes. There managed to change the geometry, the accesories and even the brakes but there is one place that they messed up big time. It is just tooooooo heavy. They are too used to there heavy mountain bikes that in my eyes they have spoiled an otherwise floorless BMX. i eagerly await the 2002 edition as if the weight problem is tackled it will be a great all round bike!!...

However this can easily be solved by buying some weight gloves that provide the user with extra grip and enable you to get the skin on your hands blister free while working some serious muscle up in your arms! Overall i feel... Read review

...This is a product that has probably saved my life! I recently came off my bike and landed head down. The helmet was destroyed but I survived without even a concussion. To put this in perspective I did smashed my shoulder and collar bone to the point where it is going to take six months to heal assuming I don't need further surgery, flayed the skin from my back and bruised the backs of my ankles, but no head wounds. What more do you want from your helmet? The reasons I choose the Bell Triumph were fairly simple, for the price it looks pretty good, it's light at 250g and the front vents have mesh covers, which if you have ever had a wasp trapped against your head for any amount of time you will appreciate!...
