REVIEWS
Bicycling
Magazine says the Fantom Team carves the trails and has
"components normally found on bikes costing thousands more..."
Dirt
Rag Magazine editor rides the Fantom Team in several 24 HOUR Races and
raves:
"In
addition to The Wilderness 101, I completed the Wild 100
(kilometers) and a 96 mile Duo Class 24-hour race on the Fantom Team.
The biggest compliment I can give the bike is to say that I didn't have
to think much about it during those events. ...The Fantom Team's
handling is well mannered and intuitive. Carving through tight
singletrack is a breeze...the bike loves to go downhill fast. During
the aforementioned 24-hour race, there is a long, fast downhill where I
routinely blew by hardtail racers like they were standing still. When
my quarry wasn't eager to yield the A line, I went for the gusto and
passed on the B line, relying on the Fantom Team's suspension to gobble
up the rocks and ruts..." CLICK HERE FOR WHOLE REVIEW |

Professional Racing Handling
Motobecane USA has dialed in a race-proven geometry into this
phenomenal ride. Very responsive and yet stable. Just like the award
winning FLY Team hardtail, singletrack and switchbacks are all handled
with ease.
Slow speed, high speed, technical to flat-out hammering, you'll rip the
trails 'cause this bike is so darn light and super plush.
