Ihave to disclose: I am a member of Airborne's Flight Crew, which means I do ride a Taka, but I did not pay for it. My comments are as objective as possible. Remember, you are looking at a complete DH rig for just under $1400. Its not the highest-end spec out there, but this bike is hundreds, and other cases - thousands less than its competitors. For that price, you get a brand-new rig. The parts spec'd on this bike reflect the price, but they are capable parts that will get almost any rider through a season of riding...
