Advantages: Robust build and a superb frame
Disadvantages: Average forks brakes and cranks. Also not the lightest

...the ride more than makes up for all of that. Kona have managed to make the handling agile and yet stable with good stand over clearance. Add to that good Canadian build quality with components that are built to last and good mud clearance and you cannot go wrong. ... Read review

Advantages: exelent value for money, very strong can take some abuse
Disadvantages: the overall bike is quite heavy, and has bad saddle

I bought the 2005 model Fire Mountain in the beginning of last year. I rode it XC for a good 3 months after purchase. The bike performed well, has a good gear ratio (has capability to go extremely fast, and get up the steepest of hills). But the comfort was not great, especial on longer rides. I found myself having to stop not because I was tiered or out of breath, but because I was in so much pain I had no choice. In the summer I rode some slightly ...
...trails the bike seemed to handle it ok. The only part of my bike that didn't was my bars when I stacked it going to fast and bent them. I've gone back to Xcing now and all the components are still going strong. componaents: the fork make this a smooth ride for the price but the adjustability is not efective the disk brake do not need much wearing in and can still lock my weels today no matter how fast im going, and I've still not changed the pads. ...

Advantages: Great handling, climbs like a mountain goat
Disadvantages: Can be a handfull on rough, fast decents

To date I've owned three Kona Kulas, spanning a perod of nearly ten years. I've ridden 100km marathons on one, ridden the trails of South Wales on one, and commuted on one, so from that you could surmise that I like the bike. Well yes I do, but as technology has moved on is there still a place for the Kona Kula in todays market place? When it comes to riding fast, smooth singletrack, either up hill or down, the Kula is superb. The bike climbs very, ...
...Leith Hill in Surrey. Real Kona Kula territory. Smooth trails with lots of technical singletrack. Just the sort of place this bike was meant for. Now I'm living in South Wales, where the trails are a lot rougher. Guss what, I bought a full suspention, the Kulas brother, The King. I still take the Kula out around Afan Argoed now and again, just to remind me what it's like to ride a "real bike", but I have to admit that the rocks have to a degree ... Read review

Advantages: great bike for a good price
Disadvantages: tire clearance

This is one of my favourite bikes. It is the perfect bike to upgrade, but it is also billiant with original parts. Thats what is so good I think- every one i've seen has been modified differently- some people have put on suspension, others disc-brakes. You don't have to upgrade this bike to make it good though. I've had this bike for 1 month now as new and all the parts are great. I especially like the bombproof frame, the grippy tyres, the brilliant ...
...bars (the list goes on). The minor weaknesses such as the tyre clearance only matter really to an absolute perfectionist. For normal people like me, there is nothing wrong with it. May I just say that this bike looks alot better than in magazines- the bike looks way better in real life. If you want a dirt/street/just about anything bike than this is for you, and if you want a more expensive bike, just buy this and upgrade it! And finally, lots ... Read review

Advantages: Solid Frame, Excellent Gears, Durable, Value for money
Disadvantages: Small pedals and seat, V form brakes (not endurable)

Scott Boulders is an MTB (stands for Mountain Bike) from Scott, limited, the leading resource of the best MTB in the world. Even if the Scott boulders is a 1999's production, it's very notable for the solid metallic frame and life longevity. The Boulder comes in two different bend of colors; a burst of dark grey, blue, silver, white and a little bit of red, and the second where the blue is replaced with silver for a sleeker chrome look. The triangular ...
...The handlebars are the Scott Strike Comp 1 P.G low-rise 600mm; Solid. The set width makes handling easy. The frame is the Scott Bi-Axial Alloy 7005 Liteflite D.B. Scott Disc D/out. One thing, I like about it is that the frame allows to ride more comfortably and efficiently, with more power, and less effort! the bigger, the better. But don't worry, the Boulder's frame works just fine! Boulder is equipped with 27 speed. There are 3 cogs at the front ... Read review
