Assembly requires above average bicycle mechanical skills and specialized tools. High quality aluminum frame, but low end drive train and forks that are more for show. Would recommend professional assembly at a bike shop. If you are serious about MTB research other bikes. If you want to ride dirt roads and paved bike trails this is a decent bike. If you do buy it, watch some YouTube videos by Park tool before assembly. Especially about adjusting front and rear derailleurs.
