Fair enough it's full suspension, but the front forks and the rear swing arm look really thin. I bought a bike from halfords, I had it for about 5 years, and I never really did any off roading until just before christmas. I rode it for about 2 weeks and the swingarm broke off, so now I have a buitiful new trek. My advice is keep it for now, look for a new one that you like, then keep that one on hold until your current one breaks, or you get more serious.
My mate road 40 miles off road to the peak district on one of these with me with the brake pads giving up the goose just before jacobs ladder, was some hard core shiz as well, just goes to show that its more about the rider than the bike haha.....doesnt change the fact that he got a new one after that tho as he decided they aint the mountain bike they are marketed as, its still hung up in his garage to :-D effort
i've had this bike for about 2 years now, and i only use it to get to school and back, okay-ish bike constantly have to fiddle with it, my rear gears got worn down so replaced the hole rear whell (just easier) with one of my mums old bike the gears work fine now, my rear suspention worked loose on me so i fixed that up, and i've replaced one brake cable, so basically if you take proper care of it check it reguarly it'll serve you well
My mate had one of this and its a really practial bike,
he went biking loads on it, and it never broke he went over a massive ex-trails ramp at delby on it, never broke or anything. he showed up a guy on a kona stuff, HAHA. not nice though so, 5.
I hate that bike, makes me angry Halfords tout it as an "adults" bike..... He wouldnt of bought it from my store though! We hardly sell any of those blighters (we sell around 100 bikes a week) oh yeah "kingswoodbiker" we lots of decent bikes! Voodoo, Kona, GT, Condor, Van Nicholas.......
where u get that walmart??
but seriously dont do anything on it but ride on road at 4 mile an hour as you could have a serious injury with that. and you will be upset when you break it.

You must be an idiot to buy a bike from halfords!
Take it off-road and it will break!
Buy a decent bike!
