General Comments

I have been riding mountain bikes for 22 years and have had machines from £100- £2,500 for all purposes from downhill/jumping to trail/fitness riding. I left cycling for 4 years and decided I really missed it and wanted to return. I didn't want to spend the earth but as a heavy rider (14st) I needed a reasonable specced machine. I did some research and test rode several machines including a GT and Specialized. I chose the Kraken because it had very similar spec but was over £100 cheaper. I have had it a year now and have mainly rode on road/trail so only light work really but the bike has performed very well. Replace the wheels and tyres and you have a seriously good budget bike. I highly reccomend this bike.
