Advantages: Looks Good, Smooth Gears, Hardcore, Not Too Light Or Too Heavy, Comfy Ride, Good Grip Disadvantages: Brakes Should Be Hydraulics, Forks Should Have Slightly More Travel

The Chucker handles jumps really well and, although the bash ring [the front part where the gear change happens- normally has about 3 cogs in it] is not best for speed & long distance road riding (I managed 40 miles in a day) but keeps the chain on during jumps.

The tires have great grip on loose gravel but still manage well on tarmaced road surfaces. Overall a great bike - especially for those who want a cheap start jump bike.

Quick review of GT Chucker 2.0
bought mine 2 days ago. went tame riding with my sister yesterday and it was pretty swift considering i had garbage, heavy metal wheels (i only wanted the frame, figured i could always upgrade everything else later on). rode it today for the first day of school, and it did exactly what i wanted it to do like climb pavements around campus. in a country that's not really biker-friendly, people were looking at me like i was crazy or something. i rode through potholes even if i had a cheapo saddle. although i disagree with what others say about the front being heavy enough to prevent it from rising; i experienced that like 3 times. ...
