Thanks for the response! Actually I rode a bit when I was younger and now in 35 and looking to get back in to riding after a 4 year stint in Saudi Arabia. I bought a very entry level raleigh 29er but realized it wasnt going to do the trick for me for obvious reasons.. I have been riding giba gorge in durban, its mostly trail riding with some downhill stuff, but I am more in it for the fun aspect actually I have spent more time riding enduro (suzuki rmz450) but after so long in saudi I want to get fit. Ths is more something to have fun with than compete. it has 120mm suspension 1x10 drivetrain and yeah x5 and x7 components (good guess) It also has dropper posts. I can imagine the fat tyres give it plenty cushion on downhills and a very comfortable ride. Thanks for the advice, but the bikes on the forum are pretty pricey second hand, and not much selection in 'ol Durban
