4.0 out of 5 stars Entry level price, great transition into adrenaline sport, July 25, 2008

By	Christopher Y. (Kailua, Hi) - See all my reviews

I purchased this bike for two hundred American at a sports specialty retailer, Sports Authority. For the relative low price, I got what I paid for. The bike was heavy at 43 lbs. The dual suspension was a very nice feature during downhill terrains and ramps. The mid section suspension also attempts to be adjustable to accommodate road and rough terrains. I got into a new sport with this bike and was able to learn very fast how equipment can cost more than a motorized version.
I took a spill a couple of months back that set my wallet back a few bucks. The rear rim had to be replaced along with two tire tubes, the rear derailleur, cable housing and cable, and a couple months of back recovery (totaling $90). I also purchased a pair of universal debris fenders for muddy downhill rides and rainy cross-country field trips.

There are a few upgrades that I would recommend for this product. (1) A Kevlar tube liner to protect the tire tube from being punctured by any thorns or nails ($18). (2) Debris fenders for the front and rear tires if applicable (muddy terrain) ($60). And most important of all, a helmet for off-road and long distance cycling.
