Used Product For 1 Month Strengths everything it looks alsome, first on disk love it. Weaknesses i scratched it on side hop Similar Products Used monty x alp, monty x lite Review I've been riding for 1 and a half years and could only gap small stuff and only go to bash gard on pinic tables. Now I can gap twice what I could on my monty. I can (uci) style a pinic table. The cool part is... the bike looks so cool the chain stays are so cool. And this is my first trials bike with disk, I love it it came with a marta sl roter. Thinking to buy a chris king hub for it. Its that cool. I would say buy it to anyone from begginner to pro.

Used Product For 1 Month Strengths Geometry, ultra alloy6, fat down tube Weaknesses stock freewheel and stock headset (they suck!) Similar Products Used GT team Trials, Monty xlite, Brisa B20 Review I´ve been riding scince ´96 and have ridden many GT´s Monty´s and 1 Brisa, this bike, by far, is the best. Easier to manuver on back wheel. Only thing is that you need to used to the length of the bike, you have to change a bit the way you ride, but, it´s all for better riding.

Used Product For Tested Only Strengths Looks good Similar Products Used Koxx Levelboss Review Well my friend had one and it just felt far too long, granted he did have the longer version. It does look the dog's bollocks. But Koxx's and Echo Team's just seem FAR too long. It was ok on the backwheel but the length did make me struggle handling the bike abit and I'm 5ft 6 so not mega short. At the end of the day I'd say go for a Monty 221 Ti, slightly shorter but ride so much nicer!!

Strengths good price, light, looks, just about everything Weaknesses needs a brake booster badly, chain tensioners, only problems i found Similar Products Used tank mod, brisa b-20, monty x lite Review the bike is the best bike for the money, it has all good parts....except the freewheel, its ok though but not many complete bikes do. it has great welding good looks rides like a dream on the back wheel and is soooo lite. the only upgrades i would recomend are koxx bloxx a brake booster and a chain stay protecter it helps alot if u ride hard

Used Product For Tested Only Strengths good welding and light Weaknesses none so far Similar Products Used koxx levelboss, zoo python Review this bike is similar to the koxx levelboss.this bike is a light as the levelboss but it also comes with better things on it such as a better freewheel and much better cranks than the levelboss so for every street rider prepare yourself for the next best thing after the koxx levelboss this i rate the best 2004 mod street bike.

Used Product For 1 Month Strengths Comes with brake booster, Great on rear wheel Weaknesses Tired of people telling me I have no seat, Similar Products Used GT Trials Review Love the bike already, It's so pretty I don't want to scratch it up, It is taking a while to get used to it because it's much longer than the GT but it is a very smooth bike.

Used Product For Tested Only Strengths cheap, stable on anything rear wheel Weaknesses stock freewheel and headset are awful, decals peel off easy Similar Products Used koxx levelboss, zoo python, monty xlite, brisa b20 Review Here's the bottom line, compared to the koxx levelboss 20, the koss has $300 stickers on it. both bikes feel exactly the same! demo-ing this bike, i'm amazed how easy it is to do anything rear wheel!!! it's like a dream! anyway, beginners will love that for a price of about what you'd pay for just the frame of a levelboss, you get all the performance, and super burly wheels and everything you'd expect from a mod bike. eventually you might opt to get an ENO freewheel and ANY other headset, but some shops give u all monty parts, so its really up to you. for the most part this is an awesome ride, easy to manuever, strong frame, clean welds, tough cranks -- all the advantages you've come to expect from mod bikes and for a very reasonable price.

Used Product For 6 Months Strengths its perfection Weaknesses like some else said the bottom bracket sucks (mine actually snapping off at one end) so does the freewheel. Similar Products Used da bomb Review i have been riding for about 4 years the reason im not the good for the amount of time i have been riding is because the da bombs are biggest heaps of horseshit available.da bomb £340 Echo Team £300 everyone who starts trialsin if they dont decide to get an Onza-T Pro (£400) which lets be honest most new to trials riders get on ebay and get a decent koxx monty or echo e.t.c. dont go and buy some shitty saracan lookalike. The ones you see on ebay will get to you and u will think this is a brilliant buy and your right it is but more than likely it will have brakes that arn't just set up right so ajust them before you start to ride and crank could go shits up on the first 2 weeks of riding once you have spent that money on repairing your will have an exellent competition bike for about £500 the Echo retails £1200 (thats all lol)
