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. Out back, the four bar linkage looks the part, but the actual path of travel is an arc that wants to move the wheel forward as it goes upward. This results in poor handling, as the wheel cannot track over rough surfaces properly. My legs had never been so muscular in my life than the time I rode my , I was in pretty good shape and my body didnt care if the bike was from Wal Mart.
The shifting is awesome, the shocks worked great. It is a little heavy to carry up stairs but other than that its a great looking and handeling bike. I can hardly feel the bumps of the road, or on the trail. My only concern is not knowing how to replace the pads on my front break, like most models, I have a disc break in front.
