Great entry-level hardtail...

Bought 18 months ago for my now 12 year old son. Bike is clearly entry level but has been very reliable and best of all fun for him to learn and grow on. Plan to be using it for quite a few more trouble-free years to come. Only upgrade / change so far was to switch to an Advent X (1x) shifter, cassette and derailer and a Wolftooth 34T BCD104 chainring and bash guard on the stock Shimano bottom bracket and cranks. Easy upgrade, works great!
