I am really happy with my purchase. The bike arrived a good condition and has held up well to all the abuse I've given it. Handles the tight, twisty trails just fine, and the slack fork angle allows for amazing downhill runs (yes there are a few downhill runs in Oklahoma). I can't think of a better bike I could have purchased for such an amazing price.
Product Used For: 1 Month
Product Strengths:Has better components than you can find on most bikes in this price range. An excellent do-it-all bike that will handle anything you can throw at it. The tires work well at handling the sand that lurks around most of the Oklahoma lake trails.
Product Weaknesses:As others have mentioned, the stock fork spring is pretty weak. I’m 200lbs and just sitting on the bike caused it to sag to the 85mm mark. A quick swap to the black spring greatly improved the problem and helped smooth out the handling. Tire walls are kind of thin, so get a set of self-sealing tubes to take care of thorns and other debris. No lockout on rear shock.

Great Bike and for the price too, looks ugly on the site picture but looks great in person. Handles trails like its got 10 inches and climbs like a hardtail.
Product Used For: 1 Month
Product Strengths:Plush, quite agile, and takes a beating.
Product Weaknesses:A bit on the heavy side, paint scuffs a little too easy but thats just cosmetics.

Jenson doesn't mention it on the Parker's product listing, but this bike is post recall, meaning it's got the newer rear triangle. No worries, all fun!

Product Weaknesses:Had a problem rear triangle that gained notoriety, but that's fixed now!
