Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2017

Had this bike for about a week now and have been out riding everyday of that week.Firstly, this bike is not top of the range bike, its cheap for a reason. The overall standard of the parts is not the best but are functional and work just fine ( so fare), for the price i payed im not going to complain. So straight out the box it was simple to build, attach seat post and handle bars, attach pedals and front wheel. First impressions once built is that it looks very good and flashy, on mine however i quickly noticed that the stickers looked like some one had used there feet to put them on, the sticker edges looked flaky and with bubbles underneath the surface of the stickers which made a cheap bike look even cheaper, i was going to remove the stickers anyway so it just made it an easier job to get them off which took me about 2 minutes. I went on a 1 hour bike that night and the ride is very good however i did notice the suspension bottomed out a few times on the front forks when coming off high curbs, the seat ripped me a new one and the pedals are way to small. I took it through snow and ice, when that all melted i took it through muddy puddles, off road on the road up hills down hills and found that its been reliable and sturdy. I changed the tyres on mine because i could see the tread ripping off in places and the overall look i did not like. I also notice that in places i could not pinpoint while riding the bike is that it creek`ed, i believe it came from the blue rear suspension coil but did not affect the ride at all.I`m giving this bike a 5 star rating because just getting out the house and being active is priceless + you are getting a fully functional front and rear suspension bike.

Happy with the bike overall, pedals and hand grips not the greatest

I've been riding this bike for 7 years now! It was a great bike the day I got it, put it together, and went on my first ride; more importantly it's an even better bike today. I've ridden trails, street, and skatepark all on this bike. I have replaced almost every part on the bike. Some stuff has broken: derailleurs, wheels, shifter. Everything else were upgrades. The only ramaing original parts are the frame, bottom bracket, and crank set. BB and cranks will be upgraded soon. The geometry isn't great but that is really the only draw back to how good a value this bike is. Even after all the money I've spent upgrading it's still a more affordable bike than I'd have bought from a proper bike shop, especially with full suspension. I've also learned a lot about bikes working on it over the years. It really is one of the best perchases I've ever made and hopefully it'll still be around for another 7 years.

Bike was easy to put together. Seems like a solid bike. Downside is the bike is pictured with paddle shifters. Bike does not have paddle shifters. It has twist grip type shifters. My son wanted paddle shifters and why we went with the bike instead of something else.

This is just one fantastic bike! The color scheme of this bike is really nice, and I've got many compliments for how nice it looks. Some people are even jealous haha. I love the 26 inch wheel size and although large, was easy to get use to for my 5' 8/9" size. The dual suspension is really nice, and has saved my "behind" multiple times from jumping down really high curbs. The bike comes with a hard brake and disk brake, which is nice to have; disk brake to slow and stop while hard brake to stop right away. The frame itself is quite sturdy and durable, and obviously as mentioned, very good looking. The wheels are 26 inches, look really good with the accented blue, and easy to ride, but the tires start to wear away a little after beating this through many dirt roads. The pedals are standard. Now the bike comes with two sets of gear, which is really nice to have, giving you many options on how you want to ride. The seat feels very nice, but still and hurts after a long period of writing. The bike also comes with a caution light in case if you ride at night, so a car will be able to see you easily.

The reason why I gave this only a four star, was that the bike came dissembled, and I didn't want to pay $50+ for service, so I tried doing it myself by following the manual. However, the manual is super outdated and doesn't cover some components of the bike, which left a huge mess for me. Because of the lack of information, I ended up with the cables in disorder, the handle bar reversed, breaking the rear gear shifter, the kickstand breaking and loosing a very small ring that stops the bike from wiggling around very slightly. The disc brake was very lose as well, and the nut holding the front wheel pole ended up breaking. I had to get this to the bike shop, paying $25 to get most of it repaired. However, I still have a broken rear shifter, kickstand, and the lost ring, which I don't mind too much because it's a really slight movement. I was able to get a free replacement rear shifter, but I still have to bring tit to a bike store to have it installed.

Some last remarks, the bike of course, doesn't come with a lock, and the one you see in the picture was bought separately. You should also buy a pump as it will deflate gradually over time. Lastly, if you're going to buy this disassembled, please don't build it yourself unless you have experience. Other than that, a great bike!

i purchased this bike to do light road and offroad biking with my daughter. it came unassembled (which i expected) there arent any instructions or tools included but you don't need any really. the tools necc is an adjustable wrench that will do atleast 1/2" (13mm) opening for the pedals and a standard allen pack for everything else. and a monkey could figure out how to assemble this bike. its that easy. the rear does not have a disc brake. it says it in the ad in one place but also says its a linear brake in another spot. the picture clearly shows a linear brake. the saddle (seat) is horrifyingly hard. i measured my sit bones (youtube how to) and ordered a proper sized saddle for less than $20. if the stock saddle fits you, you are lucky. also, the cable for the disc brake wasn't adjusted to the correct length to just install the end on the lever. you have to loosen it and pull it out some and then readjust it. again, thats a piece of cake. the only other thing i didn't like is that the rear sprocket gear changes are done by upshifting with the trigger finger and down shifting with the thumb but the gear changes on the crank shaft were reversed. its annoying so i just switched the cables and viola. also, the tires do not come inflated (which they shouldn't) so make sure you have a pump to air them up. other than that this is a meh quality bike for a low price. especially to have cantilever suspension and mostly aluminum construction. overall very satisfied. and if you cant figure out how to assemble a bike, you probably should just go buy one at a bike shop.

update: i have had this bike for a while and have ran into several failures. the seat post was horrible. i replaced it with a t-mars dropper post. the chain broke while riding in the snow. i was putting a lot of stress on it and it was more than it could take. ive upgraded to a much stronger chain and have had no issues. also, the inexpensive stem and bar combination would not stay tight. i ordered a newer wider bar and a 4 bolt stem. until those came in, i drilled and tapped the stem and installed a bolt directly into the bar to keep it from moving. also, the fork and shock on this bike are pretty much useless. upgrading these made a completely new bike but i have a lot more time and money into it than it is worth. if you plan on trail riding this bike, plan on breaking a lot of things.

Not a bad bike for the price. The seat could be a bit more comfortable. But all in all, it is not bad for street and average trail rides.

Reviewed in Canada on May 17, 2018

Delivered in 2 days, just as Amazon promised. Bike looks fantastic, just like in the image, feels strong and solid, though coloring could be better but that is just my personal taste, love the blue rim on the wheel and the blue rear suspension. Best thing about this bike is definitely the Shimano gear diffuser, and the switching mechanism on the handle bar looks great Total assembly time is about 1 hour, with a 3 hour break in the middle because I had to call my friend to borrow hex wrenches and screwdriver, so I cannot take it for a ride today. 4 stars because you will need some tools to assemble this bike which is not provided and not mentioned in the description so buyer can be prepared. I will post update after some further usage

Luce bien la bici, tal cual la imagen. Se entrega desarmada, viene bien empacada en una caja sin embargo la cámara de la llanta delantera venia con un orificio, pude repararla en una vulcanizadora por 10 pesos. Es ligera y con cambios bastante sencillos de realizar. La bici es de 19 pulgadas por lo que es recomendable, antes de adquirirla conocer la talla que mas se ajuste al usuario, en youtube hay varios vídeos que explican como sacar la medida.

Tengo unos Dias probandola y asta el momento esta bien, en primera llega desmontada parcialmente, no ocupas mucho para armarla unas Llaves Tox que las puedes conseguir en cualquier ferreteria no son muy caras y una matraca esa si lla puede ser un poco mas costoso, o si tienes a alguien que te las preste estaria mejor armalma no tiene mucha dificultad incluso si no sabes ingles para leer el intructivo con los dibujos te das una idea general de como es, es mas complicado alinear bien los cambios bueno almenos personalmente ya que tube que moberlos por que estaban un poco bajos y pegaban al hacer el cambio en si es un producto solido y bueno como digo asta el momento.

Lo único que le ha fallado es la grasa pero eso es solo cuestión de desarmarla y engrasar la uno mismo o llevarla con un experto y que la engrase.
