Reviews
Pros
Perfect first full suspension bike. Nice suspension and Okay brakes.
Suspension bottoms out on 3-4 foot drops. I'm a trail rider and this baby can take some rocky trails well and performs exceptionally well given the price.
Cons
Brakes could be better, pretty sqeaky.
Suspension is good, the fork could be better.
A bit on the heavy side
Review
A very good buy considering the price and performance.
Perfect 1st time full suspension bike.
