Gt Aggressor XC2 Grate ride

Advantages: good spec
Disadvantages: tyres

This bike has a really good spec, XT rear mech excellent proformer the only thing that lets it down is the tyres they are a bit prone to punctures when used on road and are really only for off road use. i think that the forks are a bit on the heavy side but still work grate. for the price range would be hard to beat this spec. in my opinion the bike rides really well on cross country trails and is vary smooth and well balanced. i have used my bike ...

Review of Carrera Vulcan Disc Spec 08

Absolutely Fabulous

Advantages: Great ride
Disadvantages: Cut corners on some componentry

From the first moment you step astride this bike you will want one . Althogh the frame is a little on the thin side it has that typical cromoly feel to it . 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 ...

Review of GT Timberline FS

Don't Do IT To Yourself!!!

Advantages: under £100
Disadvantages: Too heavy, horridle comfort, poor value for money...do i really need to continue?

I bought this bike from halfords after reading some pretty good reviews....i now realise the people who wrote these reviews are either extremely unintelligent or are just playing an evil prank on you! Possibly the worst bike i have ever ridden! The first time i rode this bike it fell to pieces...within 5 mins the chain snapped, then the handlebars came loose, then the brakes failed whilst the saddle moved causing some extremely foul language and ...
...only recommend this bike to someone who has wronged me in the past! I don't mean to be too critical but i really feel that it is disgusting that products as poor and UNSAFE as this should be sold to the public!!! Hope this is useful to you! I would strongly recommend paying more for a quality bike that will last you for years! Happy Riding! ...

Review of Trax Outrage

A Good Little Runner

Advantages: Good spec on bike, sturdy, mid range price, value for money
Disadvantages: Not too exciting

...coast to coast where the Carrera was right up there and performed well against others despite my reservations. Have to say though, this bike gives you a good work out and after almost two years of daily commuting the bike and I have settled into a comfortable routine – Kinda like an agreeable but not terribly exciting marriage! This bike would make an ideal starter bike as it has all you need to do some milage in a comfortable fashion but don't do ...
