"This bike was great value. Lots of extras for the cost, with disc brakes front and back, front and rear suspension etc. Bike feels heavy, but I guess all steel frame bikes in this range with this amount of gear strapped to it will be like this."

"Good looking bike, appealing to the right age group. This was excellent value as it was bought during a bike sale, however, I feel it would have been overpriced at the full price."

Pros: everything..
"Fantastic value for money and surprisingly much lighter than I expected for a junior bike of this price. Equipped with Shimano and Sram, the components are to a high standard as you'd expect from each company. Would definitely recommend this to other. I purchased the 24'' and it's fits my boy who's 140cm perfectly. The lads instore were really helpful and the bike was set up and ready to go when we collected. All in all, a very good experience."

Pros: very high specifications
Cons: a little heavy
"I bought this bike for my sons 9th birthday. After looking for quite some time there is no doubt that the specification of this bike is much higher than anything else in this price range. The only reason i have not given 5 stars is because the bike is steel and because of that, it is a little heavy at almost 16 kgs. By using Aluminium in some areas i think the bike could have been comfortably 2-3 kgs lighter and that would make a huge difference. However i presume the price would reflect any changes in materials. So overall very pleased with a good looking, strong and great spec bike."

"My son has had this bike for a while now and you really get what you pay for. This is a cheap bike with cheap componants. The suspension is now seized (and can't be serviced) and the derailier is made of metal so thin it keeps bending and will need replacing. It is also very heavy!"
