ok thanks, im looking at buying one of these since i need a new HT and most companies are changing to 29" and i would prefer a 26" so i was just wondering if it was worth it, thanks for the answer. I was wondering if the specs where good because i have only really started mountain biking serious over the last few months and i went every now and again before that so i'm not very knowledgeable about the specs on bikes.

Specs are good at the price and they're nice bikes.
They'll handle XC and trail centre stuff well.

Spec decent, not too heavy, tyres possibly iffy but you'll need to change them at some point anyway. Seems a good buy.
