I have owned a Tyax Elite for about a year, the bike is a great road bike and entry on level off roader. This MTB would be perfect for the summer rider that uses mainly pre-set routes which are mainly hard packed. The Acera gears are made by Shimano, although not high spec do shift up and down cleanly and are reliable if lubricated. The frame is stiff and gives the ride a good feel but is heavy! The rest of the bike is tuned quite well and handles almost everything you might throw at it, the only real weak point might be the front forks which have jammed after repetitive compressions, any one thinking of buying one should do so with confidence, but after a while of riding you might want to up grade the forks as the last think you want is a front shock that doesn't absorb bumps. On a final note the bike comes with Kendo tyres which are great on hard pack surfaces but if you ride in mud, your going to come off, buy decent tyres if going off road in mud!!
