Avoid. As the other reviewer said you will save yourself a lot of headaches.

Agree with this comment from first hand experience. I am sitting with a big headache after buying a new Apex. Rather buy another bike even if it is second hand which you can actually ride after you bought it instead of a new apex you will not be able to ride even from new.

Bought an Apex bike today. VERY disappointed... Can't ride it as it has endless problems with brakes alignment. I will probably try and return it and pay a bit more and actually be able to ride it. Rather avoid Apex if you were lucky enough to read this review in advance.
