(More customer reviews)Check out tons of reviews on the internet on this Sawback 5xx bike--the consensus is that this is an incredible bang-for-buck bike. It is. Its loads of fun.
I've had a carbon fiber Gary Fisher bike for year which I've been loyal to. That bike is just wonderful, and I've put serious time and miles on it. But I decided to just have a decent spare bike for friends who visit. I did the research and decided to take a chance on this bike.
The bike arrived about a week later. Assembly was super simple. I had to make some tweaks--its not going to be setup the way you like when you first get it. Right away I was impressed with the weight--this is not terribly that much more weight than my carbon fiber bike. One thing I didn't like were the shocks. I tightened up the shocks that come with the bike (RockShox Dart 1)--way too loose but not too bad when tightened to the max. At first I wasn't too impressed with the disc brakes either but after a few days of use they started working pretty good. I had to use them in action to really know.
After goofing off with the bike for a few days I had to put it to real use. I finally took the bike on some technical trails--both uphill and downhill. Wow, this bike is awesome. I mean for $400? Fugetaboutit! No regrets. This bike is NICE. It just works as a general all-mountain bike should. Worth every penny. I can't believe this is a bike sold through Target! Way to go Forge Bikes!!
