Who makes MOTIV mountain bikes?

[excelscior]

I just purchased a mountian bike for $220.00 U.S. dollars. It looks very sweet and it has an aluminum dual suspension frame and rims. I've owned a $800.00-$1000.00 Trek-Cannodale mountain bikes respectively before. This bike may have cheap componants. But once those parts fall off I'll replace those with good parts but the frame is very good! I've got a Vortex model. I've never heard of this company before. I went to www.Motivesports.com/ but that was no help. Does anyone know about these bikes? It may be a cheap mountain bike. But just about 8-10 years ago Pro Flex used to sell very expensive aluminum bikes $1000.00+ with elastomer frame shocks. This bike can't be any worse for only $200.00! :r

Motiv Highridge - I think it's the only FS they have (full suspension) and I think they stopped making them some time ago. (not to say that you CANT find them, I just don't think they make them anymore)

I suggest you go out and get a real bike.

Kona
Specialized
Blur
Intense

Stick with the good stuff and you wont be sorry. My current Desire is the Kona King Kikapu (http://www.konaworld.com/2k4bikes/2k4_king_kikapu.cfm) . Now that's a bike.

So why post? Exercise J.M. It lets you live better, besides, I can get through a mountain faster on my bike than with my legs. And something with a motor would be too clunky to maneuver.

And chicks dig big strong men :D

Really........C'mon. I've owned "real bikes" before. To find an aluminum dual suspended frame anywhere for @$200.00 is a hard find. So when it comes with ( low level componants ) it gives the buyer time to save ( for those of us that can't spend $1000.00 up front ) for the upgrade componants. I'll be upgrading this bike with full Deore or XT componants. That's good enough for me. XTR are better left for the pros that get sponsored & make a living riding technical trails. Deore or XT are not too expensive to upgrade to. That way if my bike ever gets stolen. It's not too hard on my wallet! :r
