Is this bike good ???

Hi, I want to buy a new mountain bike and my local store has a 25% off deal on this bike: Genesis Impact 4.0
Here is the link Impact 4.0 : GENESIS Bikes


Is this bike good for the price of 500€ ?

Looks fine, although there is nothing to compare it with

fair fork, decent gears and brakes, gears are actually a step up from my full suspension bike, brakes the same mine, entry level hydraulic, they work fine, not a lot of adjustments. If they have it in the right frame size for you I'd say a pretty good price but not great. A comparable Giant with out any discount (if I have converted properly) would be about 550, Specialized about 600. (I don't have a euro symbol in my keyboard.)

Your new at this,,welcome to the addiction

Your First bike will not be your last, BUY IT and ride It like you stole it !
I'll let you In on a little secret that no one will ever admit to,,,,,
It ain't the bike, It's the engines that really matter~

The best single move you can make as a new rider Is to Buy from a LOCAL bike shop,,you will need them, trust me on this

It is about what you can expect to get, when you are putting 500€ on the table ..
