IMO the price of EUR 300 is about EUR 50 too high in comparison with other sources.


While that might look like a MTB, it's unlikely to hold up well to "true" off-road riding.
And the cheap suspension parts will make it heavy and energy-sapping to ride on roads.
Ride it gently.
Invest as little as possible in it.
And if you think MTBing is fun, start saving for a better bike.
Sound advice.
