Bottom Line:
I picked this bike up after having more than a few problems with my Walmart Mongoose.
This is my first true mountain bike, and I love it.
It was last year's model, so I got a discount on it, which was great. It rides smooth, it shifts smooth, and it brakes smooth.
I'm not an experienced rider, but I know this bike is head and shoulders above any bike you could buy at a department store. If you're looking for a first "real" XC bike at great price, head over to your LBS and pick one of these up.
