Guys who only get out 3-5 times a month and want to get serious about riding. Try to swap shocks if at all possible though, if not, it's better then nothing. My first real decent bike. Absolute class, even though its my first real good bike I can still tell, as I have tried some other budget bikes and the kickes them all. The suspension could be better but is nat a weakness, it does the job well.
Frame is brill and is easily upgradable.
Aluminum frame, cheap way to get into mt. Can't complain for the price. A normal rider should be happy. I have 24 yrs hard riding experience. By far the best bike for the buck.
