I have written countless magazine and website features and route guides for the UK mountain bike press, most notably for the esteemed and highly regarded Singletrackworld. Although I am a Lancastrian, I freely admit that West Yorkshire is my favourite place to ride. Rarely a week goes by without me riding and exploring the South Pennines.
Advertised as 80mm (3.14″) of travel, most couldn’t get more than one inch of movement. Having a non-progressive spring rate means that it’s unlikely they’ll ever get the full travel out of either end. Compression isn’t adjustable, and rebound is exactly what one might expect from a spring.
I even had my own liscence plate that was my dads old motorcycle plate that said Bad Toy and my mom painted Brian’s where the registration sticker would go. I don’t have good pics of it but I do have one where it’s being showed at a car show with my dads car. If you cannot afford a decent new bike, get a decent used bike. There is no possible way a company can sell a bike with a proper drivetrain and working front and rear suspension for $150. And those are the polite words I have for it.
I found a cheap 26″ frame off of PricePoint.com and built my own bike after that. Ride a bike you have built or one of a higher quality and you will realize how terrible bikes of this caliber are. Sure, anything that gets you riding is a plus, but as mentioned before you get what you pay for.
Constructed from a 4 way stretch fabric. The Specialized Hillbilly GRID T9 tyre is the product that we wonder how we ever lived without. Useful, functional, and just what we needed. Now, if you plan on riding down Pike’s Peak, even the $1600 bike fall apart. I’m not sure any bike in this class can say that.
As an added bonus, it includes a full set of front, rear, pedal, and wheel reflectors, so you can be in compliance with local vehicle codes. That’s not something we usually find on the typical full squishy genesis mountain bike mountain bike, but we don’t usually shop for bicycles where most people buy diapers and groceries. V2100 from Genesis Bicycles is just what the doctor ordered for on and off-road exercise, and fun.
It’s a mess of cheap parts masquerading as a bicycle. Poorly designed suspension, with a shock that would make Newton cringe (see Newton’s Third Law). It has a drivetrain that many bikes shops simply won’t touch. They’re not snobs, they just know that no amount of time or skill will make loose and sloppy components work well. When it comes to pricing, like all of Decathlon’s e-bikes, the Van Rysel E-EDR AF Apex is priced lower than its competition at 2,800 euros, or about $3,080 USD. With the new model, Decathlon hopes to attract performance-oriented riders looking to get in on the e-bike fun.
On the back had a mural with the iconic 2 motorcycles on the outside of 2 hot rods at a light on sunset strip. The headlights even glowed when the sun hit them or something like that. It has working headlights and taillights.

You’re a fool for thinking Walmart bikes genesis bicycles are decent bikes. Sure they are cheap, heavy, made with really crappy components, and can get you from a to b. But, being assembled improperly is half the battle when buying a “Big Box Brand” bike.
