Information: This was a really cheap and nasty unreliable bike that gave me MANY hours of riding pleasure. It was difficult to get started in winter (even in our warm climate), but once warm would kick over quite easily. It loved to kick back hard. At only 5ī6" tall, I relied on the suspension to touch the ground. This was the first bike Iīd ever ridden. It went everywhere - freeways, bushbashing. I dropped a lot due to itīs weight (I was only 50kg at the time), I had it drowned in a creek past the seat height and it still started. I ran into a tree at low speed and I once even had to lay it down and push it down a hill on itīs side b/c I came off & couldnīt pick it up again. Would I recommend it to anyone else? Absolutely. Mine was bomb-proof and hence I learned to ride in places & situations I would otherwise have been worried about hurting my bike in.
