“A good solid bike for a novice wanting to move up. Will take regular moderate off road use with no issues.
My experience..
Good points:
Good value for money
Adequate power for trail riding and off-roading
Easy to maintain
Handles well
Bad points:
Not really useable for a real journey on road as lacks top end speed
Will not stand up to heavy use off road
Handlebars like on all SMC bikes tend to bend easily
Not very fuel efficient on road”
