Pros:
Decent entry level hard tail mountain bike, light weight @ about 34lbs, cool easy to read gear shift indicators, quick release front wheel
Cons:
Seat was a little too hard for my rear so I upgraded that and the front forks can be a little to soft on some mountain bike trails.
Time Used:
More than 2 years
Comments:
Bought this bike new back in 2001 for about $200 and it’s been a pretty reliable bike for so many years. I do go mountain biking regularly and the bike seems to ride pretty well for a bike in this price range. It still has all original parts with the exception of the seat and I also added toe clips. I do keep it well maintained on a regular basis and stored indoors. Never had an issue with popping chains, slipping gears or frayed cables. After 9 years I will probably upgrade but I am definitely hanging on to this as a back-up or loaner.

The gears kept slipping and the peddle kept falling off from the crank. It is definately not worth the money, even if it is cheap.

lightweight yet durable, smooth ride

no rear suspension, plastic brake grips, silly gear shifting gauges
Time Used:

This bike sells for about $200. For the money, I think you can do a little better. The Mongoose Diverge or GSX series is much better. I'm a novice rider, by the way.
