So, I got mine at the start of July and so far ridden around 140miles so far, now I’m an experienced rider of 20 year but this is my first big bike. First, the frame is solid. It is snappy, light and will go pretty much where you want to put it with not much resistance or flex. With the sunrace forks it’s a pretty damp ride, I looked up the psi for the air fork and I take it to around 85psi. It takes the bumps real well and is as stable on the decent as the trail, the lock out is awesome for the climbs. The maxxis ardent tires, are fairly sticky in both dry, wet and damp conditions with a lot of grip for the tough climbs and my local loose rocky trails. Rims and hubs are solid and I’ve had no wobble or problems with quick release. I was very surprised with the Clarks m2 brakes, they have a lot of stopping power, lots of bite, feel and modulation. Now they are very good at stopping however are very reluctant to actually lock the wheel but if you pull enough, they will. The disks are the perfect complement to the brakes, they disperse the heat really well and don’t squeal. Drivetrain is nice, the 1×8 is a nice spread with enough torque to pull up hills and enough speed for road riding and sending hills, the box shifter and derailleur are okay, they are smooth, shift well and never had a problem with skipping or the chain falling off. I probably will swap it for sram or Shimano at some point but it does the job without much fuss. I didn’t bother with pedals in the box, I went straight for dmr V8. However the grips and bars are really nice. All in all for the price and what the bike is and can do, I’m very impressed. If this is your entry mountain bike, then do it, it will be super nice to work on and great platform to upgrade into an xc monster. For reference I am 6ft, 80/85kg and went for the large frame. Tyre pressure at 60psi, fork pressure 90psi, bar position at -2. Riding experience 25 years, BMX and racing
