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
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.

That is good deal too....only S and XS in stock.
Bike is of course good enough for beginner but it would be well priced at 200-250.
For this price i expect shimano deore accessories.

Pipe cutters are just a few bucks on Amazon or at the hardware store.
Yeah, this isn't a great bike for beginners. Chances are, the experience will be so sub-par that you'll end up quitting after just a few rides and swear off MTB'ing forever. Think of it like getting a super cheap slow computer. Sure, it'll load a browser after 15 seconds and a browser tab 5 seconds later, you may need to restart daily, but the experiene isn't going to be so great.
The bike itself is no better (arguably worse) than the giordanos that have been going around at half the price though.
Very low end components. Won't be fun to work on.
