2015 called, they want there build spec back
No, I do not recommend this product
The build spec on this bicycle is outdated compared to other brands for the same or close to the same price point. Disc brakes would offer better stoping power especially in adverse weather. The amount of travel on the suspension fork does not justify the added weight and complexity. The drivetrain could do with more gears, a wider gear range, and a nicer rear mech.
