Ellsworth Quotes
Notable Quotables
Mountain Bike UK, Oct, 1999
AEON Isis
"There’s no noticeable twist and flex through the back-end, and the bike tracks and carves turns as though on rails. Of its type, if the best we’ve ever tested."
"A bike at this price with this level of American design and build expertise is unheard of in the mainstream market."
Mountain Bike, January, 2000
Ellsworth Dare
"...The Dare is the best climbing long travel bike we’ve ridden. It has 6+ inches of travel, but when properly tuned, it climbs as well as most short travel full suspension bikes, with a minimum amount of movement."
"We found that, despite having more travel (6 – 7in. Depending on shock), the Dare climbs every bit as well as a highly regarded Specialized FSR with 4.3 inches of travel)."

AEON Isis
"Its suspension cancels out pedaling-induced bobbing without fancy levers..."
"Its solid feel under acceleration and flex-free steering through rough terrain are a refreshing dual-suspension experience... The frame is a stunning example of industrial design and its performance on the dirt lives up to its looks."

Ellsworth Truth
"This is the kind of racing bike that attracts experienced mountain bikers who are wary of funky frames from fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants garage inventors and Tinker Toy gadgets penned by big-brand marketeers."
"A conservative hard tail racer wouldn't notice that the Truth was a dual-suspension bike—until, that is, he hit the first descent. The Truth says, "Point me downhill and let me rip!' This is a turn-key performer that will convince any cross-country rider to abandon the concept of riding a rigid rear end forever."
"We were impressed with the bike's cllimbing and flat-land performance under power... You could jump on the crankset in a big gear and it would jump forward like a scared cat."
"If you want a dual-suspension bike that can go mano-y-mano with any hardtail on the planet, look no further—and that's the Truth."
