Carrera Kraken

hi,
im hoping to get myself an entry level hardtail and i am looking around at different makes and models.
saw this yesterday and thought the spec was pretty good.im not mad about the colour scheme.

has anybody got one of these, or any suggestions on it?

sorry forgot to attach the link

for that price you could get a Giant XTC 3 or 4

The Kraken is a half decent bike for the money..

The problem is... Halfords... steer well clear of them.. useless bunch of....

You can't beat a Giant though for quality, reliability, backup and customer service.. their warranty on frames is legendary and second to none..

Have a chat with the lads in the Bikerack, Cabinteely... they'll sort you out with a nice Giant and they all have lots of experience in the MTB world so will point you in the right direction..

Halfords will have you p!ssing in the wind whilst going round in circles...
