"If efficiency were the only factor demanding attention, it would be fairly simple. During this last decade, the cycling sport has evolved from an endurance sport into a power-endurance sport. The influence of biomechanic and aerodynamic research is gaining importance. The goal is to find a cycling position in which power is maximally converted into motion."

comments: I have the 07 Rampage, and it is amazing! You definitely get more than what you pay for. The brakes have never given be grief or anything else. I brought it to a bike park the second time I ever rode it to see what it could take, and put it this way, I started with 12 foot drops. props to Norco!

comments: I just got an 07 manik. It blows away my old trek 4300. I am finding I can do so much more than before. Big drops don't seem so big anymore. I use it for shore riding on Burnaby Mountain.

comments: The rampage looks like the best all round hardtail you can find. Look forward to getting one in a few months time or early next year. Don't like the look of stroker brakes much though so will probably switch them out.
