The Good
mostly good welds
did not fail catastrophically.
did not fail catastrophically.
The Bad
too flexy, chain stay hits the tyre, also tyre hits the chainstay when wheel flexes, tyre gets scraped.
horrible component choice, pedal fell off, spider on m552 crank failed.
the bigger sizes seem to be problematic, hanger bends, eventually fails
chain wear is unacceptable with me riding it.
bearings get pushed out in the ABP, probably due to axle getting loose.
the bearings in the rocker in where the seat stay connects get pushed out.
welds were different on two of my bikes, so one could fit bigger zip ties other could not at one spot.
the rock link cracks where the bearings sit.
flexy wheels, with weak spoke nipples, can't handle rock strikes, truing the wheels.
tyres wear out in 4 weeks of trail riding.

Overall Review:
Check out my reviews for more info and videos, photos, and more in depth look at it: https://wp.me/p60aTF-aK
my bike is 17.5/18.5
It will probably work ok for a kid, but not me, so it can probably bring fun to a kid, but for me it's too flexy.
