This is an excellent bike either for upgrading or for the occasional off road rider. I mean the components are good but they will soon become worn and need changing, for example...the pedals. I had the bike 8 months and i had to change them for some DMR V8's, But i Had used the bike every day, so fairs fair. The best bit about this bike is the genesis geometry it means that at every point of riding (descending, climbing etc) the bike puts you in the right position. Your weight back for descending and forward for climbing. And It actually works!! Wherever you point it, it will take you. I am only slightly dissapointed about the forks (manitou sixs) though theyre pretty heavy and they dont really do much for soaking up small bumps. But they can be internally changed from 80mm to 100mm pretty easily. Oh and it is a great looking bike black and silver. So all said if you want a starter bike that you can rely on a cracking frame an then go on to upgrade the components then this is the bike for you.
