"I bought this bike so that I could do some XC riding with some friends but also take a trip down town for some urban, chill at the local skate park or ride at some Dirt Jump spots. So far this bike has NOT let me down.
It has truly gotten my feet wet into the 26" urban/DJ/Park scene. I am a BMX rider at heart and this has brought out my child side again. I have decided to even go with a straight urban/DJ bike within a few months!
This bike has performed past my expectations. After a month of beating it up I decided to see how the wheel set has held up and threw it on the true stand. There were no extreme wobbles which surprised me because I was a bit indifferent of the Jalco DDZ set but now I'm sold.
I purchased this bike over any others because of the Crank / BB set and they are bullet proof. The external bearings are just outstanding and the three piece set up seems indestructible. The crank's have not loosened on me but I made sure I applied the correct amount of torque when building it.
The shifting components are done extremely well. Sadly you do get cheaped out on the front derailleur as always and the shifters don't mach either rear or front but the combo has worked well on XC rides so no complaints there. They are also extremely easy to tune.
The RST Launch T8 fork I am not to keen on and I knew I wouldn't be. However, you are not going to get a fork you like on any bike costing under 2k imo. The rebound and preload on the fork are horrible but it soaks up impacts extremely well. I know this will be the first thing I replace on the bike, however, I'll just wait until it breaks and then get what I want.
Don't get me wrong on the ProMax, they work very well. I can apply enough pressure using one finger with ease to do stalls on ramps, however, they are just god awful to bleed / tune and the rotors themselves are garbage. The rotors never stay straight and warp extremely easy with heavy braking. I don't understand why they just didn't throw on some Avid BB7's. Hydraulic is nice and all but not when it's the bottom of the pile.
Overall I really enjoy this bike, it's a great ride that works well for some XC riding but works AMAZING for park and DJ. If you want to get your feet wet into some park/urban/DJ riding but want the trail riding capability this is the way to go." Review by rider |
