This bike was horrid. It actually tried to harm me. I ended up in the hospital because of it. After not even 10 hours of riding (total), I was riding home one evening and as I was crossing at a light the front wheel locked up or something and I slammed forward. The handle bars twisted and my weight+inertia impacted on the tip of the handlebars right over my heart. I nearly cracked my ribs. Not only will I not buy this bike I wont buy anything from them ever again. I have to pay over 9 times the bike costs in hospital bills now. As I made a mistake and sent the bike back to amazon without proper photographs. The bike company said they wont do anything to assist as they cant prove it was their fault. Dont buy this bike. As its a mountain bike it should be able to take a beating on rugged terrain. But I had only ridden it on the street. no hills, no bumps, not fast and not beating it up at all. Maybe I got a bad one...all I know is if I WAS riding fast and on rugged terrain I probably would not be here to write a review. Was it a fluke and never going to happen again? Maybe...but I am not going to risk my life again.
