I'll rate this bike for it's time. Unified rear triangle bikes were breifly flirted with by some compaines as it eliminated the problems associated with chain pull on regular full-sus bikes which gave feedback through the pedles, or reduced the effectiveness of higher pivot suspension systems where the tension in the chain would often stop the rear end from working. these bikes were produced in the mid 90's (around 96-97) at a time when Carbon fibre quality was actualy very good , it was the Thermoplastic carbon fibre that didn't last too well. I fact trek were producing some of the best carbon fibre frames in the world at the time using their OCLV technology. Unfortunately the URT suspension design ment that it wouldn't work well when you stood up on the pedals, as you were adding your wieght to the rear end.

All in all it's no doubt a good x-country bike that's comfortable to ride.

at first glance, it looks unattractive but once it sets in, you'll see the beauty of the bike. awesome, love the semi-retro look and the "FUNNY COLORS" like you've said.

Bar ends pointing to the stars looks weird annd that saddle looks a tad chunky. Lose the pedal clips and the rubber fork stanchion covers and it will look a whole let better. That said it doesn't deserve some of the low marks it's been getting and liking it to an Apollo was well harsh! The hope brakes have to be the best bit there.

Love it!! These bikes where the type that were around when I first got into MTB many moons ago. Excellent condition for age!
And for the comments about Argos bike etc being the same design... Its these types of bikes that broke the mold back in the day. From companies who dared to experiment. If it weren't for these designs, you wouldn't be riding the ypes of bikes you ride today!

Much respect! 10/10

Cool retro classic. Used to love these but is it right that the rear suspension only has any effect when you're sitting down?

DoctorBobrick said on 25 September 2008

Again, a 10 to counteract the unconsidered ratings its been given, id give a 7 otherwise..

If it really is 10 years old as skinhead says then I think its a pretty damn good bike for its age
