Great entry level bike. You’ll want a new seat
Yes , I recommend this product
The bike rides very well. Handles trails as well as other more expensive bikes and have yet to have an issue. I’m 175lb and ride it hard. Had to give it four stars because the stock seat is absolutely awful. The family jewels were sore for a week after my first ride, and it wasn’t my first ride on any bike. Been a regular rider for a while. The seat post also feels long for the size. I’m 5’8” and right in the middle of the recommended height range for a size M. But even at the lowest setting the post was still a challenge to get on. If you’re a short king/queen you may want a new seat post. (Stock is 400mm. I went with 350 and am happy) Swapped both the post and seat out with a cheap but comfortable set from Amazon and have been much more comfortable.
