Pros & Cons
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.
The frame seems solid and it appears to be well crafted. They hold me at my size without bending or breaking. Sturdy quality mountain bike.

Highlights
Quality
The quality is very good, but the main benefit is in how well it handles.
Had a problem with the handlebars and contacted them about it.
Oh and the seatpost cannot returned for exchange!
Competitiveness
You will do a lot better with this vilano compared to a similarly priced big box store bike.
This is my first 29er, and for the price it can't be beat.
Found this after ordering a suspension seatpost according to the size advertised on vilano website only to find out it was too large.
Keep this mind if contemplating a new seatpost.
