"I initially bought Carrera Virtuoso Road Bike 20" which I thought was a great bike but felt not big enough for me though-1.94m tall. Then, I was advised by a friend who knows lots about bikes to think of adding a mountain bike to the road bike I just bought to be able to go off roads or I should go swap my new road bike for a mountain bike if I planned to have only one bike. I saw reasons to his suggestions and decided to swap the road bike for the Carrera Vengeance which fortunately has 22" in his sizes, million thanks to the great customer services of the Halfords guys for the easy and smooth swapping!
Honestly, it feels better riding on the Vengeance than the Virtuoso. It's truly great and fun to ride on. It takes on hills firmly with ease that I really got excited to now always want to go everywhere with it. That is truly amazing for a 36yr old man who last rode on a bike in his early 20s. Brilliant brilliant bike!!!"

"After much deliberation on which bike to purchase I found this one to be the best value for money. It has high spec parts excluding the front forks which do the job but could be better but for what was paid it is a great little bike and very comfortable to ride."

Pros: gears, brakes, service
"I bought this bike for general fitness and recreational use and I could not have chosen a better bike. Brilliant off road capabilities and just as good on the road too. Tigger gear shifters makes changing gears effortless, and disc brakes give me the reliability of knowing I can stop suddenly and safely.
The staff at halfords chorley was very helpful and well equipped with product knowledge in choosing the accessories to go with the bike, along with doing the all the bike safety checks before I took it out of the store.
Many thanks halfords keep it up!! From one very happy customer,
Stuart"

Pros: acceleration
"This cycle has got great acceleration- very fast from stand still. The wheels on this cycle are fat, hence it is quite slow once in motion- so this is not an ideal commuter bike to work.For that you are better off with a racer or hybrid with thin wheels. Otherwise the slow cruising speed will be fustrating for you. On the positive side, if your road has many pot holes, this bike will absorb the bumps very well and protect the bike from damage. As well as the fat tyres although not good for speed, do make the bike more robust and hence longer lastiing. The front suspension does not lock so once again, the front suspension will absorb a lot of your energy hence slowing yopu down again. The grey colour looks excellent and it certainly has teh wow factor.
Although, because the paintwork looks so awsome, it takes a lot longer to lock it because wull will b worried about damaging the paintwork with a D lock!
The sale price is a fair price. This bike isn't an allrounder so I still use my apollo code as a commuter bike for work as it is faster and has front and rear baskets. Plus i dont have to worry about it once its locked -worry about theft or the rain! It best to have two cycles a mountain bike and racer/hybrid. My apollo code tends to get punctured every 4 months so its great having the vengence of standby as in the morning i have no time to repair the punture otherwise i will be late for work. You also cannot put a basket on the vengence as it looks too cool to do that. As mentioned b4 the code has no usspension so is faster despite the steel frame."

"Originally bought the Centos Limited Edition but this was too small for me (6'3"). Spoke to Lloyd who couldn't be more helpful - an hour later I had swapped to the Vengeance with the 2" larger frame (& arguably a better specification). Great products, and fantastic service. Thanks again."

"I got this bike last March, It has been riden 3 - 4 times a week average of 15 miles per ride of road & road biking as well.
The bike is superb it has never let me down yet. I stopped riding her in november & went back to my Carrera Vulcan with road tyres, I took her out the other day for a quick ride & it was like riding a brand new bike again cannot wait till the weather gets better to get back on the Carrera Vengence love this bike."

Pros: overall weight
Cons: saddle too narrow
"I have previously owned lesser quality bikes and not enjoyed my times spent in the saddle! I can honestly say that the few hours I have spent on this bike so far have been, I am most impressed with the weight for such a large bike (22" frame) this in turn, along with the gearing, really makes for easy enjoyable cycling on our local undulating terrain, I am now confident in using the disc brakes, a big improvement on the old 'V' type brakes with blocks, the braking system being rather 'positive', my only gripe has to be the saddle, could be a wider type, has proved to be painful but sure I will get used to it."
