I chose this bike after months of searching and i havnt regretted buying it. I wanted a bike which i could afford which also gave me the quality of bikes in a higher price range and this ticked both boxes.

It rides well, smooth gear changes, excellent brakes and no fault yet. I fitted my whels with gel-filled innertubes and except for a few mishaps (not the bikes fault) it has run smoother still. I have ridden it on rode, where it glides along, and off-road, where it can take quite a bit.

The only trouble with this being a mountain bike is the fact it is a hard-tail, meaning no back suspention. If you want anything serious out of this bike a new seat would benefit you as it can get tough off-road.

Overall the bike is strong, sturdy frame, slick gears though may shake your backside around a bit! But it is a hardtail afterall!
