anyone on the forum got or had one of these bikes ? if you have i would be interesed in hearing your reviews on it please, or comments on spec/components ! as i am thinking of buying one as my first MTB. i plan to use off road quite a bit !
I talked someone into a 07 version of that and they've had no problems with it from what I'm aware.
But go to Halfords, look at there Carrera Fury which should be on sale at the moment and likely free helmet or something with it, might pick 1 up for the same price with RS Tora forks which are much better forks.
It's an OK alu frame with relatively cheap components and a cheap Suntour fork on it which does have lock out . At £269.99 with mechanical disc brakes it,s great value but if you get into MTBing you will soon need to upgrade . If you can pick a Carrera Fury up for that price with Toras I will be amazed .
Yeah haven't heard anything from the 6month mark and he said all great then, like 1 year back, don't we all get problems with our bikes I sure as hell do.
I've got a Tyax Elite and theres a creaking noise now and then which is a bit annoying but probably caused by lack of quality maintenance, overall a good bike though!
