Awesome beginner entry level bike
I hadn't ridden a bike in a good 10 to 15 years and at that they were always Wal Mart specials. I knew I wanted a real mountain bike but didn't want to spend a ton in case I hated it or just didn't get into it. I found this one while doing some research on the MTB forums. I couldn't be happier. A bike with similar specs easy cost a few hundred more at a shop. Was easy to assemble and mine didn't require much tuning to get it working just as I wanted. As I learn more I might upgrade as time goes on but for now I am very pleased with my purchase

Abused
Having been out of mt biking for about a decade I needed something decent without dropping much $$ since I was unsure if I would get back into it fully. I was skeptical of a $349 bike but this thing has been awesome. I'm 6'1 230lbs and since my balance and jump timing were a little off I was hitting rocks and roots on downhills pretty hard the first few rides. Over the past few months I've gotten faster and have pushed this bike pretty hard. It's performed far better than I ever expected and has really helped get me hooked back into biking. I did my research and there is nothing else in this range with this quality. My intention is to break it so I can get a Hobgobblin.

Great Bike!
I love this bike. I'm a beginner who started mountain biking to help get back into shape and do something fun. I wasn't looking to spend too much money. This was great purchase! The quality is great for the price and I ahve put my bike through some stuff so far and it's going very well. I'm a big guy and I have no issues. I would recommend this bike to anyone. It's bit on the heavy side, but what do you expect for under $400

Tons of Value in this bike
I purchase this bike for my son as his skill is improving and I wanted a bike he could grow with and that I didn't have to wrench on all the time. This is a solid choice for anyone looking for a performance bike at entry level price. Great frame (same as the Goblin in a 26") and solid specs.
Built it up in about 20 minutes from the box. Fine tuned it another 15 and we hit the trail.
Our families second Airborne, more surely to come !!
