A strong, lightweight butted aluminum frame creates precise handling and a nimble ride that eats up singletrack and in-town commutes equally well.

Comments:
A commendable and reliable entry level mountain bike. Best suited for those with little to no experience on trails. Rides very well with it's half-XC half-Trail geometry. The frame is great (smartformed alloy) so as you progress you can upgrade components around it (starting with a new air fork because Suntour XCM coil forks are very low end). That being said I would be hard pressed to find many entry level bikes better than this for the price.
