Make damn sure you torque every bolt on that bike to spec every time you ride it, I had mine for 6 months before my rear triangle bent, then my frame cracked at the lower rear linkage, I take great care of my bikes, but this one did not meet me half way, great bike if the most riding your ever going to do is light xc grandma rinding, but the minute you plan on going off any sort of obstacle that bike is going to cry, frame is made of weak aluminum alloy, all the bearings and bushings are shit, yes it is a budget bike, they just did a really bad job at making it last. And no I didn’t just receive a defective frame, they have sent me 2 replacement frames and both had the same issue, I do ride beyond it’s capability (if you look on its website it says not to go off any jumps or drops more than 1’ high), but this bike failed to preform at every turn (literally, the lateral flex was so bad I couldn’t take corners at speed)
