For those not versed in bike:

This has an entry level, but dependable group (shimano tourney). It's a 3x7, so it will have good mid range for most casual riders. The front fork is cheap, but it'll be more comfortable than a hard fork. The bike has hydro disk brakes, which will stop very well. WTB makes a decent saddle (seat). 27.5 is a good size for cross country tires. The post is a common size and easy to add a suspension seat post. All in all, it's on par with the ~$400 diamondback bikes that Costco carries on and off. It's a solid, dependable bike at this price. Better than almost anything else you'll find new for $400. REI bikes are made by Giant (who makes bikes for dozens of other companies too). If you want to go ride on the gravel paths around you, this will work great. If you plan to get into downhill and more technical riding, buy an older trek fuel for around the same price
Not a bad bike to test the waters and see if you like mountain biking.

But DO NOT buy this with plans of upgrading it. It has a straight steerer tube and QR wheels, which are a dead end upgrade-wise.
Hey, did you miss the price ? Perhaps this bike isn't good enough for you, but it is to people that the $420 price makes it within reach.

Nice bike for $400. and bonus is the REI bike tech's give free tunes/adjustments. Another plus is actually seeing one in store (if in stock).

Piece of junk. Do not waste your money. Those that said it was a good deal obviously are not cyclists

Have one. Like it. But I'm not a bike snob like those who will undoubtedly rush to post in the thread.

I'm not an expert, but from seeing other bike posts on SlickDeals, I've noticed that some people can't accept any bicycle under $5000.

I think whether this bike is right for you probably depends on where/how you're riding it. I lived in Texas for a decade and rode a bike like this on roads and on dirt trails. It was great for that. I now live in Colorado and have a bike which is designed for real "mountain" biking, but it cost a lot more than this one. If you share what kinds of trails you're riding, then the knowledgeable folks here can advise you on whether this would be sufficient.

Tourney isn't dependable. There have been several examples of the rear derailed just falling apart. 7x derailleurs from nearly 40 years ago are more dependable. Get an Ozark Trail and avoid this garbage. That has actually dependable components.

This is perfectly fine for someone getting into mountain biking. I started on something similar and now ride a Ripmo!

Like others said....this is not a bike to buy and upgrade. If you love mountain biking your next bike will be over 1k, and this will be your backup bike.
