Great Intermediate Bike

Rating:****
Purchased this bike on black Friday. Already have over 60 miles on it, easy to tune up after first 10-15 miles. It is very stable, solid riding. Handles really well. Not the smoothest ride, but it is a hardtail afterall. The front forks are heavy and squishy suspension, not reccomended for any jumps or boulder trails or rocky/bumpy downhill rides. The squish however, is decent for slow rocky uphill climbs, nice rebound for 'hopping' the front.

Overall VERY solid construction, i havn't owned a DB in 10 years, but am impressed and they now have me as a customer again. Comparing this to my Raleigh Mohave 4.0 and Raleigh M80 it is very similar in quality.

Great bike for beginner's to intermediate off road riders.

Great Bike for Freeride

Rating:****
Awesome bike for freeride.. slight downhill, jumps, and stunts.. easy to control. Only bad thing is the derailer handle is made up of cheap alloy and broke on a hard jump... replaced with a stronger one..but other than that .. great bike.
