The bike has lots of great componentry on board and so you will feel like a pro. The chainset is good value for the price of the bike . Paying this sort of amount of money on a bike I would expect to see Shimano XT or something better the forks Jett xc's are a fab set of cross country forks and for the rider who is just getting started this bike may or may not be the one for you....
