This bike was purchased and riden 5 - 6 time at a beginners
level. The bike has had one tune up since purchased. There
is 4" of travel for the front forks and 400 lbs coil
for the rear shock. The braking system is cable disc front
and rear, with shimano derailers front and rear. The pedals
are clip in for clip in mountain bike shoes. The tires have
litle or no tread wear. The bike was riden on beginner level
trails, never down hilled. This would be a great bike for
anyone looking to start out mountain biking, or just get out
and get some excersice.
