  Muddyfox now isnt the same as the bikes with a good rep years ago. I think the name was bought by Sportsdirect.

  Almost anything from Decathlon.
  
  I wouldn't touch a modern "Muddy Fox" with a bargepole. Just reading the spec tells me this is a heavy heap of junk which will likely not ride properly when new and start to fall apart soon after.

  One that'll last 6 years instead of 6 months...
  
  Gears are A050 (crappest of the crappest of Shimano tech), rest wont be much better quality either.

  It would be okay as a winter training bike - the extra weight will make you stronger and if you fall off a few times who cares about scratching it !!!
  
  The only problem is that it will probably fall apart during its first winter - hey ho!

  You have to buy a carbon fibre bike dipped in liquid titanium frogspawn alloy with authentic Italian Schemanzo accessories otherwise it's not really a bike and it will fall apart or kill you as soon as you get on it. Plus it has to cost more than a thousand pounds to be a real bike. Anyone who reads Hotukdeals for bike knows this by now, surely?
  
  By the way, for those of you getting excited about Schemanzo, it's not a real brand, I made it up.
  
  Seriously, Decathlon stuff is pretty good imho :)

  Agreed - their 8.1 MTB is one of the best value for money entry level mountain bikes around
  
  You get a lot of good/reasonable kit for your money. At least when you buy one of their bikes you don't have to consider upgrading anything straight away, and you can just upgrade as things wear out.

  Hi guys,
  I bought this 18 months ago and ride it 3/4 times a week. It's by no means perfect and a little heavy compared with the my other half's merida. But it's not bad. The downshifters are ok when you get used to them and the gear changing is accurate and direct, less angles for the cable to negotiate. I paid 150 and have no regrets.
