Good Points: Strong and very light
Bad Points: Crank
General comments: I have owned a Barracuda Showdown now for 2 years i brought it second hand the only real problem is the original crank beside brake pads and cables. Over all it is a good strong and light bike with suspension arms

The Barracuda Showdown has to be the best bike ever, it's reliable, easy to fix, and easy to get parts to fix. I buckled wheel when I took it off a jump, but that was due to my landing. It's great on roads and serves it's purpose, great on off road and downhill tracks, a bike I would recommend to anyone.

I've owned the Barracuda Showdown for 5 years and it has served me well when the bike was 1 year old the chain snaped off then when the bike was 4 years old the crank arms snaped off and the gears went I've been told this problem is common on this bike. I got better gears, new crank and it's never let me down since. If you buy one of this bikes make sure you buy a new crank and gears straight away with them it's a better ride and more faster.

I have had this Barracuda Showdown bike for five years now, I bought it when it was brand new to the market and it has held up reasonably well apart from a few components breaking (crank arms) it is still in top condition. I would advise that if you buy the bike upgrade it like I have it rides a lot better and lasts longer. It also looks amazing with top quality components on the strong frame.

I have a Barracuda Showdown for about three years, I have found it to be very reliable. I have only ever had one thing wrong with it and that is the crank arm connecting the pedals to the front cog sheared off but that was mainly through landed hard down on the pedals after going over jumps. If you buy this bike you must first take off the front mud gaurd because otherwise it will scrape if too much wieght or pressure is exerted on to the front forks and also make sure you spend the extra money ...
