carrera kraken

Georgeb

I am looking to get a new bike and was looking at the carrera kraken in halfords for œ265 which i thought was a good deal.

Is the carrera kraken any good or are all the parts cheap?

You'll be lucky to do better for the money. It's definitely among the best entry level bikes. Go for it.

Good bike, my mate done the same 6 months ago. He now has Mx Pro's, XT hubs on 717's, XT drivechain, new finishing kit and LX hydraulics on it and it feels lovely!

if your getting from halfords look at their gt range, they are normally quite impressive

Aren't decathlons supposed to be good?

one of my bikes Scott scale 20
Another one 2004 klein attitude xv
and finally 2006 Giant anthem2

not sure, i had a look at the decathlons on the internet but there isn't a deacathlon store near me, so im going to get the carrera now.

I'm also looking at the Kraken as a 1st timer. But I'v just been offered an old tidy GT idrive 4.0 FS. Is this a better option?

cheers

Depends on the condition of it/if it fits you.
