Used Product For 6 Months Strengths light weight, strong Weaknesses dead feel Similar Products Used T-master Review This bike is very stiff and strong, however the bash garde fell off and was imposible to replace as this is not a monty standard on the frame. The other issue was the lack of feeling from the frame. There was no spring in the frame which made some moves difficult with out the feedback threw the tubing. I was happy with the bike but switched to the tubular onza frame and have been happyer dispite the extra weight.

Used Product For 1 Year Strengths Frame design, rim builds Weaknesses Headset, rear magura, rear dropout tensioners. Similar Products Used Use 2 own T-Master (in black) see t-master review! Review Lets get one thing straight!!! This bike is BETTER then the onza T-master which costs more and is supposedly better spec! Yes i said BETTER!!! main difference is that on the t-mag they started using a nice solid block style weld for front bashguard mount! which works alot better..i cracked the t-masters one!(which is a small stem like thing) rear dropout tensioners...bend easily and break and all sorts..more hassle then they're worth! personally..wudnt buy another bike wiv this concept used in rear dropouts..hate them!! headsets..despite being cane creak stuff..which is usually ok...they suck...always having headset probs..coming loose,playing up etc and u dont have any real replaceable options coz of their size theres not anything to uprate 2! (when ya headset goes...expect huge fork flex and wobble. the rear magura hose is perfectly setup and exposed to get pulled off or damaged etc..not 2 clever! if ya dont mind fixing and replacing parts quiet often..bike real good for the money. please dont buy the more exspensive t-master tho..coz its money you are just wasting! bikes good points...frame design enables u to get real low on bike for big power moves..like side hops etc..4 foot side hops up walls are easily achievable on this bike..trust me. nice bike to bail from coz of lack of seat etc. rims are strong and well built..very good quality stem and handlebars also strong and good quality.Free wheel,cranks etc are spot on.. bashguards better then most make out..bends a lil..but no real probs..depends on ya skill and ride technique..im quite a light rider. that covers it!! long rview..but knowing all the info on thse bike will definately help when u come round to thinking about buying one. last but not least..onza's warranty...good if ya like hearing..thats not covered!!!! my mate actual managed to twist back half of bike due to huge gap down wiv loadsa speed..and they havnt been to helpful wiv my bike and probs either..nor was the bike shop! despite being a well known named one!!

Used Product For 1 Year Strengths V Lightweight Weaknesses HS33 magura brakes, freewheel, chain Similar Products Used Onza T-Bird Review Have had this bike for nearly a year now and so far have had to replace the freewheel 4 times, 1 of which lasted 2 weeks before i broke it agen. Brakes are excellent but can be hard to set up and configure. Otherwise i think it is a great bike which is extremely light and easy to do tricks on. A lot better than the T-Bird it's worth the extra money, lot lighter and the whole feel of it is a nicer ride.

Strengths brakes cranks Weaknesses every thing apart from the cranks and brakes Review it was good at first but when i started to ride good the frame bent which meant that it wasnt that strong also make sure that the frame doesn't start to crack near the headset area.

Used Product For 6 Months Strengths Cheaper then T-Master, Rides better, Looks Weaknesses Heavy Similar Products Used Onza T-Bird Old School Review I got this bike after i sold my T-Bird and it rides much nicer. My mate cracked his. Mine is heavy on the back, my mates Monty X-Hydra (Old Frame Version) and Da BomB is lighter then mine. Still nice to ride though.

Used Product For 1 Year Strengths forks,stem, bars Weaknesses everything else Similar Products Used old onza t-mag Review after riding this bike for less then a year i've had to replace, cranks, pedals, chain twice, freewheel 3 times, the rear mag bridge hose is very exposed and has been changed a number of times and most resently i snapped the bottom bracket. i dnt ride that hard and although this bike has a very nice set up and feel about it and is very light i resent payin the amount i did and have so much go wrong with it. Also the warrenty does not cover any of these faliure's onza dnt want to no about any of it unless u snap the forks. they will replace them with onza tough guys if u manage that. average bike good for new riders.
