Captain America would not want his name on this bike

Overall Review:

I returned this bike after 3 months of nothing but problems. Day 1: I had to have lockout mechanism replaced, new one didn't work after a month properly. There are few tires that will work on this bike. There is little space for the tire and derailleur clamp. I went tubeless and the stock tire is not good for tubeless and only found one tire that worked from continental and it was replaced after 47 miles under warranty. In my 3 months the derailleur and lower frame bracket ripped off, breaking spokes and shredding tire. It was a nice 3 mile hike. I ride non technical single track in the desert. Some terrain is hard and rocky, but not difficult or technical. After that problem, I rode another 47 miles, slipping gears, chain falling off and broken rings on front sprocket. I got the bike back from shop and test drove new sprocket. Somehow in the shop, my back wheel hub went bad making a grinding/clicking noise. I took the bike back and will be getting a refund. I would not tell anyone to spend money on this bike. Last, the stock seat and grips are a joke. I lost a lot of money with this bike. They nickname it Captain America, I think he'd be appalled.
