REVIEWS
Switchback Magazine
…surprising performance..power transfer…plush ride…proved nimble…comfortably laying down the power…lets you point and shoot the bike…for the weekend warrior or trail rider looking for an all day machine the Fantom 29 DS will NOT disappoint…
Bicycling
Magazine says the Fantom Team carves the trails and has
"components normally found on bikes costing thousands more..."
Switchback Magazine
"…wondering if we were getting enough performance out of some of the other bikes to justify spending over twice as much..."
Dirt
Rag Magazine editor rides the Fantom Team in several 24 HOUR Races and
raves:
"In
addition to The Wilderness 101, I completed the Wild 100
(kilometers) and a 96 mile Duo Class 24-hour race on the Fantom Team.
The biggest compliment I can give the bike is to say that I didn't have
to think much about it during those events. ...The Fantom Team's
handling is well mannered and intuitive. Carving through tight
singletrack is a breeze...the bike loves to go downhill fast. During
the aforementioned 24-hour race, there is a long, fast downhill where I
routinely blew by hardtail racers like they were standing still. When
my quarry wasn't eager to yield the A line, I went for the gusto and
passed on the B line, relying on the Fantom Team's suspension to gobble
up the rocks and ruts..."CLICK HERE FOR WHOLE REVIEW
