It is on the cheap side but will get you where you need to be going. Great for beginner mountain bikers or for someone who just wants to ride around. I bought mine nearly 1 1/2 years ago and it is in my garage all beat up and I gotta say it was worth all I got out of it.

Owner's Notes:
Assembly was brilliant and incredibly neat. Gears shift easily and without fuss. Front and rear disc control handles quite well. A light frame moves the body easily. Tires propel without slippage in wet conditions.

Artist Notes: Replaced original seat with something much more comfortable. Calibrated absorption to optimized levels.

Rider Notes: Acceleration was adequate, although cruising speed must be raised to a more suitable standard of parsec "momentum."

Personal Notes: It has "character."
