| 'THAT IS WHAT UPGRADING IS ALL ABOUT' |  | Strengths:
Handling is sharp, acceleration is fantasic, lockout works well, brakes are fantastic, a huge amount of adjustability, brain works well, front suspension is good quality and handles the small and large knocks well. | | Weaknesses:
weight distribution is mainly at the rear of the bike which can make keeping the handle bars down tricky, especially with the large and x-large frame size. Paint job durability, I have had this bike for 5 months now and alot of the wording has been rubbed off already. The LX front mech is a shame since the XT only costs a little more and would be better suited to a bike of this calibre. | | Overall:
Fantastic frame with lifetime warranty..... should work well with future components. I would not change this bike for another, not even the new 08 stumpy expert. Time will tell how reliable to Brain remains..... |
