Good bike for the $ for an just a little bit above entry level bike. Will work for cross country and a little harder terrain biking.... IT does hold up in places like Alifia, however it will wear out as time goes on. I would of liked a better shock and it is not upgradeable to disk brakes without changing the rims, etc.... It has a nice frame and hold up to my hard riding style...but for me I took it to the next level on older components, tires I own- XTR upgrades..... brakes,shifters,derailers, crank..Now I have a bike I can work with.. Love the frame color..... needs a better seat and handle bar.. But for the weekend worrior...this is a good bike to use.. I like it and it has a nice style look to it....
