Bottom Line:This is a great bike for a great price. I uprgaded a few things and am still going to upgrade some more but this bike works great even without the upgrades. The stock tires should be replaced imediatly in my opion. I also love the paint job on this bike, orange was a great choice, but it seems to chip easily. Bottom line is-- This bike is great with or without upgrades and an awsome mid level bike.
Overall Rating:4
