Review
I've had this bike quite a while and i have found that it has become easier to bunnyhop and balance myself by getting used to the bikes weight because before this i had a onza t-raptor and i found it was heavy and slugish if you want my opinion get the reefer it's fab

Strengths
Good wheels, nice geomertry, fairly light,

Weaknesses
Not indistructable, cable brakes

Review
I've had this bike for over a year, and it has certainly been a very good bike to learn on, it only cost me £300, and then I upgraded the brakes to Magura HS33.(so a good deal at £400)It is quite light, and rides very nicely, considering the price tag. However I have recently snapped the frame on the chainstay(just had it welded, will see how it holds out) and I also just bent the forks. And I have just snapped the cranks. (I am however 13 stone, big boned not fat...honest!!) The Alex rims are very strong, and I have barely had to straighten them.
I would say that if you want a bike to learn on this is a good buy, esspecially if you are a fairly light (It should last longer), but if you are already dropping off things over 5ft, then I would look elsewhere.

A light bike which is great but if your a begginner a 20 inch wheel bike is easier to learn the basics of trials on.

this bike is great and i would recommend this bike to anyone. i have had this bike 3 months and the crank is rubbish. i broke it in the first month i had it. other than that this is an excellent bike to buy for the money. best to buy this bike with hs33's.

i have had this bike for a year and a half and today it snapped(2-10-2004) over the year it has been a good bike and i have been able to do 8ft jumps on it (highest i have ever done) and clear 2ft gaps but now would like a zoo or echo bike. I recommend this bike as a begginers bike but i wouldn't get it after my first bike.
