APOLLO XC.26, February 15, 2010
By EIADDIO from North Norfolk Coast
Quality 4 out of 5 4 out of 5
Value 5 out of 5 5 out of 5
Performance 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

Pros: good value
Cons: a bit on the heavy side

"Have had this bike for 18 months, great for riding along the beach on rust free alloy wheels, gears and brakes work well. Broke one gear cable on twist grip but guy at Halfords was really helpful and explained on phone how easy it was to repair. I'd give 10/10 for service."

By Silverpedals from Surrey
Quality 4 out of 5 4 out of 5
Value 5 out of 5 5 out of 5
Performance 3 out of 5 3 out of 5

Pros: excellant overall finish
Cons: not great tyres

"The bike is well made in all respects and does not seem to have been manufactured down to meet a price band. Putting it together was easy but more fuller instructions would have been good when adjusting the gears. A good all round bike which looks like it might give a few years service."

By Elliott1989 from Derby
Quality 5 out of 5 5 out of 5
Value 5 out of 5 5 out of 5
Performance 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

Pros: well built, looks great, smooth ride
Cons: assembly wasnt fantastic but it wasnt a problem

"This bike is a real bargain, aside the usual discount bikes sometimes they arent very good but i have to say i am very pleased with the bike and Halfords service is excellent. There were a few tweaks i had to make as i had mine assembled ready to go but thats no problem. I would definatly vouch for Halfords on this product, if you dont want anything too expensive and want something that is reliable and a real good smooth runner for work etc... then buy this you wont be disserpointed."

"This bike is excellent value, how could you go wrong. Order on line pick bike up ready made up for next to nothing. It is not the highest spec bike but very good for cost, frame slightly heavy but hey big deal. I use this bike everyday to cycle to work ( about 3 miles each way) and find it perfect."

"The fame and forks seem strong and durable. So far i am undecided about the gears, the twist shifts take up too much room on the handle bars, causing my hands to use them as part of the handle bar grip. I spend most of my time off road and would have liked the tyres to be more capable but otherwise happy with its ability. It is a good all round general moutain bike, it could be much better in so many ways but thats why it is the price it is."
