Customer Review: Very Good for the Money
I’ve had this bike for only two weeks and have been out on it three times. The breaks really stand-out as super. The bike looks great. The gears change nicely the suspension does a good job. The gears available are well selected. I will be bringing mine back to the shop to have the breaks adjusted because when I spin the rear wheel, the breaks are providing a friction which make the wheel slow down. I’m sure this can be adjusted. Also, the front de-railer needs to be adjusted because when I’m in the middle gear I hear a noise when in combination with some of the rear gears. But, I’m sure this can be adjusted and I purchased the bike from a shop that promised free adjustments for life and so I will be taking advantage of this. I’m very pleased with my purchase. FYI, I you want to get this bike on a bike rack (car rack) then you will need an adapter (20$).
Customer Review: Great Beginner Bike
I’ve had this bike for about 3 months now and I’ve taken it on a couple good trails like the Fullerton Loop, Fullerton CA (11 mile ride with mixed terrain of dirt and street riding) and Marshall Canyon (uphills and about a beginner/intermediate), San Dimas CA.
The parts are great and the hydraulic breaks are wonderful. Truly a great starter bike and worth upgrading as you go along. It is a little wide at the handle bars but it’s a solid bike and takes a good beating. I’ve dropped it, crashed it and all of it’s parts are still running well. The gear shifts a little slow when coming down from third to second, but it usually transitions pretty well.
This bike comes highly recommended from me. I don’t think I could’ve gone with anything better at the level I’m at. Buy it! Ride it! Enjoy it! It’s a good investment.
