Shockwave XT980 Ladies Mountain Bike any good?

Question

I've seen this bike in halfords unlike most ladies mountain bikes it seems to have everything i'm after ie: Alloy frame, 21 Gears, Disc Brakes, Dual Suspension, reasonably priced, but is it any good?

Answer 1

Definitely not, pile of c**p. Read the reviews on the Halfords website

Answer 2

A dual suspension bike eats up too much energy..Get yourself a good hard tail bike with a name brand, you would be much happier.

Answer 3

Dont mess around when buying a trail bike, go get a Cannondale or Specialized. They build a great bike that will last for many years and a jot to ride. You will have nothing but rrouble with a low end bike like a Shockwave. Sure you will spend a little more money on a good bike but it will worth every dime!
