Perfect hardtail for a newbie!
Yes , I recommend this product
Bought this as my first real mountain bike about 6 months ago. So far, I really love this bike as I learn how to ride MTB trails. Love the color, the geo is spot on, and it's perfect for someone like me, who is learning as I go. I'm a hair under 5'11 and the medium fits me well. I did upgrade the fork from the stock Rockshox Psylo Silver RC that it came with to a Marzzochi Bomber Z1 and swapped out the saddle, grips, and pedals and tires. I've crashed several times and it now has some character marks/dents on that sick frame and crankset, but the bike can take a hit and keep on rolling. I have absolutely no regrets!

Warped Tire
No, I do not recommend this product
Nice bike, nice paint, feels solid. The front tire came extremely warped despite the bead having been fully seated. Bike has been sitting for 3 weeks because I don't feel like driving across the state of Arizona to get it fixed.
