Any Help just started

Hey
Ive just bought a Carrera Kraken limited edition as a starter bike, the guy in store (halfords) told me that for the money, the specs on the bike were excellent. The bike is really nice looking but i was wondering wether it was actually as good as he made out. It has avid juicy 3 brakes, a rockshox dart 2 fork, sram x5 gears but im not much of a wizz when it comes to these things soo any answers would be much appreciated. Thanks

Depending on how much you paid or it, its sounds like quite a nice starter bike
Looks like you've got upgraded brakes and forks compared to the standard model.
Nice bikes, anyway! The fork's the weak spot, but if you find it a bother that's easily enough sorted in the future, and it's still fairly capable. Good value at £430? Not sure, I would personally sooner have the Fury, it's not much more expensive and has a miles better fork but it's certainly not a bad buy at all, it should do you proud. People really underestimate the Carreras.
