I had purchased a Huffy: Rock Creek at walmart for my boyfriend for his birthday - not realizing he and I would want to go biking as much as we did or I would have bought him a nicer one because the Huffy fell apart and he went and purchased his Hyper Havok
First off keep in mind what I am reviewing - I am reviewing a walmart bike. This isn't something that is really meant for hardcore trail abuse. But we have taken it on the trail a few times with good results.
This bike isn't particularly light weight but its not particularly heavy either. As far as durability goes the thing seems solid. I know a lot of people complain about stuff that is really a result of the guys at the store putting it together wrong - its not really the bike's fault - but even if there was really nothing wrong as far as assembly goes - We are still impressed with the general bike parts themselves. I have a "Next" and I can tell an immediate difference just rolling the 2 across the floor. Also - the fork on my Next is shot after a few rides and the Hyper still seems fine. All in all this is a really nice walmart bike for about $130. You get what you pay for of course, this is just a regular old spring frame shock with no adjustments on the fork but for a first bike its pretty nice.
