Pros

Shifter's (super smooth 3x. Then tune the already adjusted drive train and brakes. Does not ever interfere with pedals. Disc brakes are great and the gears change very smoothly. Only negative is the handle grips, that make my hands go numb in about 20...  Read More

This bike is fine for road and light trail use but i would strongly recommend upgrading if you'll be hitting some more serious trails. The fork is steep and not shallow like a trek or diamond back. Gained near 1-1/2 from toes to front tire.

Quality


The quality is very good, but the main benefit is in how well it handles.

Competitiveness


You will do a lot better with this vilano compared to a similarly priced big box store bike.
