Teacher?s notes: The Isis has the strength and handling to make an aggressive trail rider happy and is still light enough for Amateur cross-country racing. Huge ball-bearing swingarm pivots are a plus, and they are positioned so that chain tension locks out the rear suspension when you are in the granny gear.
