Yeah legit man. I rode mine super hard and ive never had one problem, its my snowbike now and even in -30C she still takes a beating and begs for more. Maybe your way more hardcore then myself and stprider16, in which case you shouldnt cheap out on a mid range KHS bike and instead spend your money on something high end.

Holy shit man, you sound super awesome!! Are you sponsored or something?? Maybe thats why it keeps breaking, because you're way too good for it.

Some great looken KHS bikes, I'm not sure why many people hate them so much. I picked up a 2011 KHS lucky 7 for this year and have been riding it 40+ hours a week as a full time bike patroller at a resort in BC. Besides a small pain that there is not a very good dealer network for KHS in western Canada, I love my Lucky.

I have replaced a lot of the major parts with upgraded gear, and this thing will handle any thing I throw at it, from 6 foot drops to really crazy steep downhills to jumping. It just has not disappointed me yet.

The stock components were decent but the set up I'm running now is

RS totem rc2 fork
Cane Creek Shock
Saint brakes
SRAM x9 rear deraillier.
Crank Bros bars
And every thing else is stock

The only weak part on the whole bike was the rear deraillier hanger. That snapped and I had to order a replacement from Ontario for $20, and took a week to get here. Which was pretty good customer service.

All in all I like the ride a lot.
