If your doing a lot of trail riding, you soon need a better fork yes. But if your just going through woods, flat stuff then I doubt you'll ever need anymore than 100mm travel.

Soldato
Exactly.
OP - remember your spending £300 not £2.5k. Your never going to get an amazing all rounder with no compromise in this price range. Even bikes at £800 have compromises depending on what it's used for.
I doubt you'll be flying off rocks with it. It's a good bike. I've ridden them, they're good.
I'm barely going to be riding it, through the woods would likely be the worst.
I understand at this price range I'm not looking at much.
Anyhow, tried the bike today and other than the brakes squeaking a little it's perfect. I'm taking it into the shop tomorrow for it's free service and will grab some stuff to clean it properly.
What would you guys recommend for cleaning the frame, chain and disk brakes?
The seat is a tad to high, would cutting some of the pipe off cause any damage?
