| 'A TOP BIKE FOR ONLY £800' |  | Strengths: Quality frame, freedrive gives a smooth ride and the hydraulic disc brakes do there job. Geometery gives a relaxed, yet responsive ride. |  | Weaknesses: Feature-less rear shock and front forks. The lack of pro-pedal/lock-out/compression dampening on the rear shock means there's lots of pedal bob (well hidden by the freedrive) and gives the feeling that the bike is a bit lazy, needing more efort to get it moving. |  | Overall: A good bike as standard with lots of potential for upgrading. Avalability problems ment I could only get a large frame, the stand over height is a bit limited and a shoter stem (90mm) was needed, but otherwise, everthings peachy :) |
