fair quality for the price

On: 2007-09-27

I found the aluminium frame a bit heavy and the handlebar not very confortable. Moreover I had to adjust brakes and shifts when I got it, and the instructions were not that usefull. Overall I think is a fair quality for the price.

Nice mountain bike

I gave this five stars because it met or exceeded by expectations. It came in an undamaged box and was easy to put together (front wheel, seat, handlebars), with no adjustments necessary on gears, brakes etc. The Tektro brakes arent the best, but now I have the wheel hubs so they can be replaced later with a better brand, such as Avid. Otherwise the bike works very well and seems of good quality. A more costly bike would be lighter, but that is one of the trade-offs of a good price. It appears to be equivalent to bikes I looked at in bike shops that cost $429 (assembled).

Excellent Beginners Bike

I got this bike for Christmas and was well worth the price. I replaced an older more expensive model and after taking it on the trails, my riding friends were more than impressed with the ride and it compared nicely to their more expensive bikes. It is a great entry level bike and will fill a need for an intermediate rider as well. Happy trails!
