    I use this bike all the time to exercise, etc. It rides great, and hasn't broken on me yet. Overall a great buy.

    Problems with flats, pedals, and spokes

    Comments:

    The stock pedals broke after the first 400 miles. The replacement pair broke 250 miles later. I have had four flats while riding on roads and mixed-use paths. The Borough XC tires are nothing special. I have broken two spokes on two separate occassions without any significant bumps/accidents. This bike is great when it works, but it hasn't held up very well at all.

      I have rode mostly greeneways with this bike and couldn't be much happier. Very smooth and quick. I haven't owned a bike in over 5 years and am now riding 40-50 miles a week on this bad boy. Thanks Andy Jordan's in Augusta, GA!

        This bike can handle pratically anything that you throw at it! Sidewalks, roads, pot holes, gravel/ limestone trails, the list can go on. I started riding bulky mountail bikes until I decided to upgrade for a quicker, more road friendly bike. I didn't want to spend a small fortune on a racing bike, this however was the perfect comprimise. I've been riding it for an entire year now and it still feels like new. This bike is definately worth every dollar spent!

          This is a great bike. I own on 07 model and love it. I would have to mentions that i don't like the aluminim pedals (solid) with rubber gripping on them; i find that if they get wet, my feet tend to slip off if i decide to stand while peddling; secondly, i did notice a little slip while going around corners on pavement. I do live in winnipeg, MB Canada and we do have very abd road conditions; so it might be the city and not the bike. I am considering purchasing the 2010 model now.

          I bought my bike when I was doing bout 30 miles a week, at most. I now log over 50 miles weekly, year round. If you will only be doing some casual riding, then this would be a great bike. My only problem is that I have become a road biker, and this bike works, but I have to work much harder then if I had a road bike. I am still beating my friends with carbon fiber bikes, but the bike is heavy at 30 pounds. My best piece of advice, is to buy more than you think you will need, and you won't be disappointed

          I've been riding my Cross Trail for just over a year, mostly as a commuter bike. I have 3 other bikes; this one is my favorite ride. It fits well and rides smoothly. It's not the fastest bike in the fleet, it is the best riding and most comfortable. It was recommended by the guy at the bike shop who said they sell a lot of them. I can see why.

          I've owned the Crosstrail almost 90 days,I'm a intermediate type rider,50 to 60 miles a week,and I'm impressed with the acceleration thru the gears,ride mostly paved trails,and the once hard uphill terrian on a lessor quality bike,is no longer a problem.handling is great,very nimble,brakes are excellent you stop quickly and I'm 225lb guy.Front suspension has great dampening when cutting cross fields etc.Releave yourself of pain,and get a specialized Cross trail,the ease of pedaling/handling verus the department store bikes is no contest. Only negative with me is the tire tread design,little slippery on hard surface cornering.

            A very nice bike for its price. If you are indecisive about buying a road or mountain bike, this is the bike to buy.

              I bought this bike after a trip to my local bike shop. I told them I was looking for something good for all around but nothing race oriented that would be good to get back into biking and get me out for some exercise. So far this bike has made me want to get out and bike more. I've done anywhere from 5 to 45 miles per outing and have been on pavement, dirt and gravel, cinder paths and all out mud and muck. I'm just starting out but can easily spin the bike 15-18mph up moderate hills and it felt solid on a 38+ mph descent down the back half of a rather steep hill climb. The last ride that sold me was a 40 mile trip around a lake in the thousand islands that was 30 miles on-road and then 10 miles of absolutely, what was I thinking off-roading. This thing pulled me through some good 8-10" of standing water and was still decent enough at pulling me up over some decent sized rock inclines with wet and muddy tires (semi-slick) tires. The stock seat was good for me until about 20 miles round trips and then I swapped out for something a bit more comfortable. As my legs feel stronger and my distances increase I am wondering if I could also use a road bike but I wouldn't get rid of this one either way.
