This Barracuda Jacana bike is rubbish. I paid £245 and all its caused is trouble, the brakes are unreliable and the drayliers are useless. As soon as i got it it had to be sent to Halfords for a service and even they said it is unreliable and unsafe.

The Barracuda Jacana is an awful bike to ride i bought mine for £150 (not a good price!) the breaks are responsive but squeak all the time the front derailleur is "Falcon" a brand that you only find on cheap bikes and it causes alot of problems it has taken me hours to get it nearly sorted, the rear derailleur is'nt actually that bad for a cheap shimano, the tyres are cheap off road they make riding on road difficult, also this bike is not light compaired to other bikes of similar price. If you are thinking about buying one of these i advise against it i would go for a Merida, i have a Merida Kalahari 510 aswell and to be honest its just superior compared to the Barracuda and is around the same price!

If you are planning on buying this Barracuda Jacana, I would recommend the Claud Butler Pagan or Claud Butler Ravana as an alternatives. It's heavy, looks rubbish, brakes are rubbish, the bell isn't loud enough and the suspension is non-existent.
