Mike Sanderson is the man behind Calibre bikes, he started at Raleigh as a product designer for Diamond Back and now he designs MTB & road bikes for go outdoors, they start from entry level to low end pro bikes with great reviews and prices starting from £299-£1299 you can't go wrong with any of these bikes

The value is second to none and google some reviews, they're very highly regarded and a total bargain
More than most of us will ever realistically ever need or fully utilise

Good for the money but no hydraulic brakes is a shame.

£32 for a set of hydraulic disc brakes, not a major cost.

Cold, can get a car for not much more. Then you can use the road, without being an inconvenience for people actually pay road tax.

So I take it you've never had a bike in your life time and never ridden it on a road??? I drive a car and pay road tax, also ride a MTB & road bike!!

Or you could lease a car and drive the mountain bike to the mountains and really experience life.Its a great deal but I prefer no suspension.

Ah, dammit. I bought a Diamondback Sync yesterday for £261. Should have waited and got this really :disappointed:

The company has given precious little detail in the specs. No mention of weight, and we don't know who made the brakes or tyres.

Could always ring them and ask the weight and the make of the tyres & brakes

Brakes are likely tektro, they seem to be the main supplier of the mechanical brakes, looks similiar on pictures too ,
Tyres id guess a unbranded WTB tyre

rather expensive considering the low grade group set and cable disc brakes.
