Review
This is a great all mountian bike. Very durable. I ride my bike hard and this take a great amount of punishment.
Pros
It's would be a great ride when it works
Cons
Derailer works when cable is stabilized by cable guides, however they are fragile and break easy. Simple fix you think? NO. This $2 part is riveted to the frame. So, no way to raplace it. Worst of all, the company (Rocky Mountain) will not support the repair, even when the bike is within warranty. Pass on this bike (Pass on Rocky Mountain).
Review
Dont buy from Rocky Mountain.
