The bike came packaged well. It is a great bike! Suspension is good and it rides well. It did need tuned, but if you are familiar with bikes then I'm sure you could manage it. Fast shipping.

It was a very good surprise. I was worried with components quality, so far we have been riding it in all kinds of roads and trails without any issues.

My recommendation to any bike novice is to take the unopened container directly to a professional bicycle shop. It will save you a ton of frustration. For an additional $40; I was able to walk away with a beautiful and comfortable piece of equipment that was both securely assembled and tuned to my liking. At 6'1" 200 lbs {53 years old}I've had a blast cruising the Shore Towns of South Jersey. {Compliments galore regarding its suspension and style} Another consideration may be investing in a comfort seat unless of course you plan on going completely squirrels off-road. Great Value for those who can forgo an exotic name and its accompanying price tag.
