    Looks great for the price but I’d try a few local bike shops and see what they have first. It’s just easier to deal if you have any issues with the bike.

    I bought the 2017 model second hand last year. Previous owner upgraded it to 1x10. Cant fault it really, I only started mountain biking regularly a few months ago when I bought it and find it capable for whatever I do. Mine has a 120mm fork and it does the business no problem round ballyhoura. Online reviews are very positive for them. As mentioned above get into the bike shops and see what the have to offer. At least you get to look at the bike in person before pulling the trigger.

    Great bike but if you could, I'd recommend going for the slightly more expensive Sentier VR with a much better drivetrain. SLX drivetrains are fantastic.
