My 19 yr. old son requested this bike for Christmas. He is not a serious bike rider, just wanted to be able to go if his friends were going. He liked the seat suspension and the look was acceptable. Shipping was fast but when it arrived, pieces of the bike were poking through the box all around but fortunately nothing was seriously damaged (some scratches tho')so I took it to a bike shop to have it assembled and adjusted for his height and to make sure nothing was missing and they said that if he became more serious about riding he would need a bigger frame (not wheel size) as he is 6'2" tall. They also said it had features a more expensive bike would have. My son said it is a pretty heavy bike but everything works well and he is happy with it so far.

I bought this bike as it seems quite good value for money for just leisure-riding. It's reasonably well-specced for cost (front and rear suspension, brakes are OK, Shimano gears).

What lets it down is (like the other reviewer) the bike was poking holes in the box when it arrived; one of the screws that secures the handlebars had disappeared and I had to go to a hardware shop to replace it. The manual is also rather poor, it looks like they put together a generic manual for every single bike in their product range and you have to work out how it relates to your one. Not only that but the manual is poorly written and diagrammed.

Once assembled I was pretty happy with the bike, I've been riding it every weekend for the last 2 months and not had any real issues. It looks pretty cool hasn't malfunctioned so overall I'm reasonably pleased.

Just started doing some real riding on the Polaris Ranger and had a malfunction. Not really sure what happened, but the derailer started slipping and ended up snapping the chain. I'm kinda of put off by the product, but now I have the need and want to strip it down and make a simpler bike out of it. The handlebars need new grips and a lot of adjustment. The bike definitely needs new pedals out of the box, as the factory ones are very crap. Frame is a little heavy but not horrible. Will definitely need new tires and tubes. Brakes are surprisingly, compared to the rest, o.k.
In retrospect, I'm not really angry with my purchase. It is a chinese-made bike. This sort of thing should be expected with any hard riding. If I had the ability to re-do this purchase and find one on craigslist, I would. Decent bikes are on craigslist for this price if not a little more. But I'll live with this.
