Description Response Sport 6061 T-6 Aluminum All Mountain Hardtail Frame w/ ?Strongbox? Top Tube, Formed Down Tube, Snake Stays Spinner Edge 4 120mm Suspension Fork w/ 30mm O.D. Stanchions Hayes HMX-4 Mechanical Disc Brakes w/ 6? Rotors Shimano Octalink Cranks / Sealed Bottom Bracket
Model/Year: 2008 Pros: Strong frame, good geometry Cons: Heavy, stock components were cheap. Recommendation: Bought this December of '07 from Dicks. Hardly nothing left on it of the original components. I like the bomb-proof frame but it is heavy. The original fork was terrible, rockshox tora air fork was a huge upgrade. I added disk brakes, an XL bottom bracket and other goodies so its a whole different animal than when I plucked it off the shelf. 3500 miles all over the US and more soon in the DominicanRepublic...still ove it. But if you don't wanna go through the trouble of upgrading pzż all the cheap parts, pony up $500 or a grand and get something nicer.
Pros: Saddle, strong frame, 120mm travel on the fork, looks good, easy to adjust everything, your basic tank, brakes are effective. Cons: rear mech. is finicky, no lockout. Recommendation: I am beginner but wanted an inexpensive bike I could slap better components on and stick with for awhile. 399 or an 2010 model at Performance. Its been a good bargain for me. I read the reviews pzż here before purchasing.
Model/Year: 2010 Response Sport Pros: brakes, frame, handlebars, crankset, seat, price Cons: gears slip, front shock (terrible - wish it would break) Recommendation: Bought this bike when I decided pzż to get back into MTBing and didn't pzż want to spend too much $$. Got this one for about $350 and have rode the crap out of it since. Love the bike and am very pleased with the puchase. the front shock is garbarge, but gets the job done. when it breaks I'll replace it. Would recommend if anyone asked.
Model/Year: 2008 Pros: It turns out the BB, rims/tires, rotors and calipers have pulled through the last 4-5 years with little fuss. The frame is the real value here, however, even though it has that crappy pzż tonk sound to it. Cons: Well, it's a department store bike. The stock fork was trash and is long gone, basically anything that will break has broken pzż a long time ago. Recommendation: Considering the fork and some other items were destined for quick replacement from the get-go, the bike was at a solid place to start as a beginner. The value is excellent and I hadn't busted my wallet getting the right components rigged for hard and frequent rides, and for the last year it has been perfect pzż as my rigid 69er 1x9 city bike. The frame is cheaper aluminum and pretty clunky, but it's a great platform for entry level upgrades, and if you can get rid of that fork youll have a healthy bike by the time you need one. and put a chain stay guard on that thing because itll tonk like a cowbell. pzż
Model/Year: 2011 Pros: feels sturdy, light, looks sharp Cons: my handlebars are a little creaky probably just loose Recommendation: if you have the chance pzż to buy this bike. DO IT! probably one of the best bikes in its price range and is not cheap feeling, looking, or performance wise. overall a good bike!
Pros: Great bike and features for the price. The XE model that I bought has disk brakes. Needed the larger frame size (20") and it feels perfect so far. Cons: Nothing so far Recommendation: Buy this for a first-time mountain biker. Great value, great features.
Pros: Great set up for the price. Good for someone to get started into mountain biking. Cons: The fork can bottom out easy for heavy riders, or aggressive riders. The SRAM X4 drivetrain is only 24 gears Recommendation: pzż Overall, pzż this makes for a great first bike. The frame is a tank, and the overall component spec is enough to get someone started on begginer to intermediate cross country trails.
Pros: light aluminum frame, feels fast, smooth shifting, large frame sizes available Cons: didn't like fork, no options..weak travel & lock out, squeaky brakes Recommendation: you get what you pay for,if your a rough rider on trails may not be bike for you...entry level urban rider may be good fit
Pros: strong bike... I got hit by a freakin car on this thing and still ride it. Cons: broke seat immediately. It needs a tune often, may just be the way that I ride. Recommendation: Great for a beginner like me, Kind of heavy though. I would recommend it.
Pros: i like the way it rides good shocks strong frame. pzż Cons: bad pedal barings and i had to upgrade the shifter before i replaced it 3 times could use some small adjustments Recommendation: get the dual suspention and i got mine at Dicks Sporting goods if u do the same get the warenty free parts and labor 2-3 years comes in handy trust me.
Pros: strong frame,good stability, pzż rugged, and looks good,nice style. the brakes r a lifesaver. Cons: Both bottom brackets,rims r ok, i had a crack in the handle bars, shocks r fake they dont work, and pedals suck plastic. keep
