  GREAT BIKE FOR THE PRICE :D
  I have just purchased this Apollo FS 26 bike from Halfords for £138 as it was 1/3 off weekend, they built it for free and are giving me a free service. I have read a lot of other reviews criticising the bike, but seriously you get what you pay for, its a decent bike for its price, I am not going to go up everest on it, so I will probably never need to push the bike to its max, all I know is that it does the same stuff a carrera bike will do for about £150 less and its worth every penny, but I wouldn't pay the original £209 for this bike. The full suspension is great and so are the v brakes and the gears are smooth :)

  I own 6 Apollo FS 26S and they spend all their time on rough terrain in the Austrian Alps. For the price they perform amazingly. They get VERY bad treatment and just keep going - albeit with regular maintenance. The original crank bearings did need replacing and the brakes need regular adjustment. The gears cause little problems and chains only come flying off die to mis-treatment and the users lack of understanding about changing gear - you CAN'T just twist the grip! The bikes cost £ ...

  This Apollo FS 26 bike is the worst bike I have ever purchased! Instead of going for a cheap, unreliable bike, i decided to go for a more expensive one, hoping to get some reliability. I spent 450 pounds on it, and it hasn't worked right once. The gears seem to jam, the crank wears out with 2 months, spokes brake, the front brake gets stuck, the rear brake doesn't even bother to do that, and the suspension was about as much use as a snooze button on a smoke alarm. And finally, the chain snaps, t ...

  I bought the Apollo FS 26 from Halfords, and they are not very good at customer services in my opinion. I've had one for less than a year and so far, the rear wheel virtually collapsed with 7 broken spokes, the brakes frequently jam either on or off, and every time i wash it, more bits of the paint come off. True, every time I take it back with faults, they fix them, or at least try, but they don't seem very happy about it. It looks quite nice - from a distance anyway.

  The Apollo FS 26 is a nice bike but wouldnt pay more than 150 for it. Its got really nice suspention, the new style really works. I dont think that the colour really makes it look good.

  I replaced a non suspension bike with this and noticed a big difference. The Apollo FS 26 is really good for riding normal roads - as they are becoming roungher and rougher with more pot holes. The gears are set very low and Im not too keen on this.

  I TOOK MINE BACK IT BEGAN TO FALL APART AFTER 5 WEEKS
  I was impressessed when i first bought the bike but just a few weeks later the brake pads wore away so i could hardly brake and the gears kept slipping and the gripshift gear change started to fail.
  Halfords fixed the problems with the gears at the free service but wanted to charge me £15 for new brake pads just six weeks after purchase. I got them free after I complained. After the service, the bike really started to fall apart. The ...

  Got this Apollo FS 26 as a good cheap replacement for my old Scott USA but doesn't have a patch on the quality. Will do me fine for now.

  Overall i am happy with my purchase. The gripshifts need replacing after about 8 weeks as they seem to be made with cheap plastic. hopefully Halfords will replace them without fuss, and then i will be a happy bunny again.

  Great bike for the price. Has everything you would want from a mountain bike unless of course you are a pro and then I guess you would be considering the weight and would want foot holders etc. My last bike, 8-9 years old, was a Dawes which was quite expensive and was considered a quality bike in its day. As materials are so cheap now days and technology has moved on, the Apollo walks all over the Dawes. Definitely a good buy!

  The Apollo FS26 was for us a very cheap - about £105 - replacement for my previous Barracuda bicycle (which had cost about £250) that had recently been stolen out of my homes vacinity, therefore not being covered by household insurance.
  
  The bike didn't seem to lack anything that I wanted, and I really liked the appearance of the spokes of the tyres. Circular handle gears are mandatory for most manufacturers now, or so they fell, so the addition of these of this bike was of no surp ...
