Good Points: none
Bad Points: Lots of them, haven't used it off road but whilst riding on the road the rear suspension failed and snapped, and not even on the welds.
General comments: It's not like i've done anything out of the ordinary on this bike, far from it. Mountain bikes are, in my opinion, meant to be getting thrashed about and should be built for this, what really annoys me is that this bike never left the road and yet the rear suspension snapped in two and is now completely unridable with no way of welding back together and no way of me getting a replacement part unless I buy the whole bike and that won't be happening. Shocking build quality.Trying to find the company that actually makes these bikes isn't easy as the shop I bought the bike off says the warranty has expired and so is not interested. Does any one know how to get hold of barracuda or where these bikes are made?

Keep away from any Barracuda, horrific quality, terrible bikes they really are. Don't just buy a bike because it has full suspension or V brakes kids because you would be so much better off saving the pennies towards something in the region of a specialized Hardrock!!

Yes i'd definatly get a barracuda show down if I were you, I think they are well worth the money. I bought one the other week and they are so bouncy. And easy to ride, also very fun you could have a good day out on it.

The barracuda show down full suspension bikes are so poor. I have had mine just over a year, the front wheel folded up and spokes went through my tyre, the rear wheel buckeled and had to be replaced, paint is very easily chiped. The crank baring is wobbly and has already been replaced. Once the pedal end of the crank arm lost all its fread and the pedal droped off. So in conclusion I have been totaly disapointed with it and think its only worthy for srcap and not sure of that buy the quality of ...

I got my Barracuda show down about 4-5 years ago. I have riden it hard for a good long while but realistically they are rubbish bikes!!!! Also I have seen the more recent models and half of them are plastic, But having said that it is still around although im not riding it because it would fall apart in my hands!!

I paid £350 for a brand new (still in box) bike in april 2003. the bike was a last years model which i didn't mind. after 3 months rear suspension unit failed, replaced under shop's warranty. 4 months after purchase wheel bearings in rear wheel worn out. bottom bracket bearings worn out. 7 months after purchase suspension forks failed whilst riding along road! manufactuer said out of warranty on forks! in general moore large & co offered no support for their product.
