They are quite reliable, once you get the bugs sorted out. But the Hawk will be quite a comedown from a Kwacker. Not anywhere near as much power, and the suspension, while good, is not as good as what you are used to. Not the bike I would choose to ride 80 mph whoops with. I have never heard of a frame breakage issue with the Hawk. The Hawk is better off-road than the Magician, but people ride Magicians off-road all the time. If you are going to be riding with your wife, the Hawk and Magician make a good pair. Once you get them sorted out, they'll take you anywhere you want to go. ....ARH
