Iron Horse 6 Point
The Iron Horse 6 point Full Suspension Mountain Bikes are often considered one of the best all
around high quality mountain bikes on the trail today. These bikes come with an affordable price tag and are well worth upgrading down the road when you need more from your bike.
When it comes down to it, the Iron Horse 6 point Full suspension mountain bike series is just plain good mountain bike designing and at the same time the value to price ratio is excellent.
Low on the price side and high on the value side is exactly the way Iron Horse intended it to be. With the Iron Horse 6 point series starting with the “strong enough to take some good hits” frame to its light weight, this bike is fun to ride.
The Iron Horse 6 point full suspension mountain bike weighs in at a feather light 35 lb, making this bike a breeze to ride uphill for long distances. The travel on the rear suspension of this bike is sufficient for a comfortable ride while at the same time keeping the traction wheel planted firmly on the ground. There is 160 mm of travel that can be used completely due to the fact that there is no pedal fob. When you are in the cockpit of this bike, everything seems to be in the right place. The saddle provides an efficient position to get the most from the pedals while at the same time offering a comfortable reach for the controls.
With the quality design and efficient suspension, this bike can really shine when it comes to traction and control. The 160 mm rear suspension gives the ride of this bike a supple feel, almost with a coil shock level of performance. You can be confident that the wheel will stay planted through the turns and over the rocks.
This bike has just the right combination of features to make it inspiring. The combination starts with great geometry, a wide bottom bracket on a stiff frame. This gives the rider a feeling of confidence. Adding to that feeling of confidence are the Kenda tires. They roll well although they feel a little squirrelly on harder packed surfaces. The entire suspension package on this bike is definitely made for that competitive edge.
The Marzocchi 55R on the front may not be the softest or plushest fork, but when you are pushing the speed limit of that trail, the whole package comes together like magic.
To top off this total value and performance package, this bike has Shimano compatible SRAM Attack shifters that seem to continuously move the Saint Rear mechanics faultlessly. The FSAs cranks take all the abuse you can give them when grinding on a trail. When you are done blasting through the woods and over the boulders, the Avid breaks finish this value package off well and will give you reliable stopping power.
For performance, value, dependability and just plain fun, the Iron Horse 6 point full suspension mountain bike can not be beat!
