Advantages: Bombproof, it will take anything you throw at it and come back asking for more Disadvantages: Bit on the heavy side at 40lbs but its not really an uphill bike
I bought this bike about 3 months ago in the end of season sales for £2,000, the rrp on it was £2500. The bike is excellent, great build quality, super strong frame, takes so much abuse. The spec of the bike is superb as well, I've never seen a bike with such good components. The Marzocchi Roco rear shock is very plush and smooth through the whole travel range and still takes big hits. The Marzocchi 888 forks complement the rear shock well, they ... ...then ramp up to take the big hits. Sun Hill rims take everything you throw at them and the Shimano drive train and brakes are excellent, the shifting is crisp with no lag and the brakes will stop you on even the most vertical runs.
The one downside is the weight, it is so much effort to pedal it up hills but it is defiantly worth it to ride this bike downhill. A superb bike defiantly worth the money, its bomb proof ...
