Hi All,
I bought a Saracen Mantra 1 2 months ago and i have to say I havent had a problem yet with it. I think its a good entry level bike to be honest. Yes a bit heavy but pretty good going down small hills. I mainly use it for small roads and forest trails and it seems to be fine especially in the forest where the trails are pretty rocky. I just wanted to put in this post as I think there is alot of bikes which get an unnecessary slating and the Saracen Mantra 1 is one of them. It is the smalll brother of the Zen 1 which has received very decent praise.
Of course its not the best bike about but I wasnt going to go spending thousands on a bike when I wasnt sure if I actually would get into mountain biking seriously. Down the line if Im still doing it of course i will upgrade.
Just wanted to put up this,,it is my first post but I think some riders can be a wee bit snobby :-)
