here is the spec of it aswell im not too sure about whats good and whats not.

supersonic

For what sort of usage? Also what price? Is very heavy!

Danie1

just anything in general really probably mostly through woods, also you say heavy, what would it be too heavy for and the price is 310 at the moment.

supersonic

Well for 310 you will find no better full suspension. But lighter hardtails like the Mongoose Tyax Comp.

Danie1

yeah thats fair enough, would a lighter hardtail be better? and if i bought new forks for the bike would it make it lighter?

supersonic

If you spent 300 on forks, yeah ;-)

36lbs is a lot of weight for a bike like this, though it should be tough.

Danie1

fair enough i like the look of them boxxer forks so would like to upgrade to them at some point if i get the bike lol.
also whats the difference between the shimarno deore and the sram x.5?

supersonic

The bike will not take a boxxer, far too big! 130mm max.

Deore and X5 are roughly equivalent, just different manufacturers.

Danie1

oh fair enough would it take any forks that are similar to the boxxers?

supersonic

Nope - that Tora is a good fork, tough and well damped.

Danie1

fair enough so an upgrade would be pointless really, any other useful information?

supersonic

make sure it fits and is not damaged!

Danie1

its a 17 inch bike and im 5ft 8 hoping it will fit lol. it hasnt had much use and looks very clean so hopfully a bargin

Hi I had one of these two years ago it is a nice bike and pretty bombproof for drops ect but I found it very heavy but a smooth ride, good for upgrades but you could probably get better now at that price point on ebay.
