This is a fantastic bike for the price. Genesis geometry is great, just remember to lean forward on the climbs.

For the price you pay you get an awesome bike. It handles well on single tracks and it climbs good. The Piranha handles well on turns during ascends or decends. Best bike to get for anyone new in mountain biking.
