    Looks like a pretty good deal to me, not sure about the fork but it's probably better than what you get on plenty of similar priced bikes.

    Like above, the fork doesn't have lock-out so it may cause a slight inconvinience for you. What is your budget? I'll look around and see if there are any better spec'd bikes out there for you? Are you new to MTBing? What sort of riding will you be doing?

    i brought one back in may,i had to use halfords due to the scheme i was on,
    its been a solid bike so far , cant really fault it.my riding mates all like it too
    i no its not got any lock out but ive not seen this as a problem,
    the only thing i changed is the pedals for some platforms,
    it does get plenty of off road action once or twice a week
  • I've had one of these for a few weeks now and have hammered it over 100 miles off road, so far so good.
  • my mates got one, forks are average but there are worse ones out there, he loves it tho
    It`s changed a bit since...
