Argos Silverfox pushbike offer

I know very little about pushbike 'brands' .. I know cheap is rubbish .. but hoping a £240 bike (originally) should be reasonably ok?


So bearing in mind it is £120 as it is half price not just 'cheap' is this bike any good?? - not for hardcore competition, but will it fall to bits in 5 mins like my other pushbike?

Don't put any faith in the suspension but I can't see why it shouldn't stand up to a little abuse!

Argos are good at replacing/refunding if something does go caput on it in the first year!

i would look for a better make 2nd hand

It'll be sh*te, non branded generic gears, cheap suspension and it'll probably weight half a tonne.

You'd be better off going to your local bike shop and spending that kind of money in there. Or as Hovis says get something 2nd hand.

Is 'silverfox' not a brand then?!!?

Anyway, looking a the bike and the description/details I'd prolly want to ask where my v-brakes and stunt-pegs were!!

Its not a brand I've heard off, but I'm not that big into MTB's

Ah ... muddyfox is what I was thinking of!!! ... hence why my initial thinking it was an entry level bike from a decent 'named' brand just 1/2 price ...

I'll steer clear of that one then ...

My tescos & dump-bike amalgamation will have to keep me right for a bit longer then!!

That bike is a pile of crap. The RRP price is no where near what it is worth, the sale price is more correct.

I don't buy bikes with full suspension under £800 because the suspension is cheaper and does more bad than good for riding.


Take alook at these two, peronsally i wouldnt bother spending anyless as they will probably fall to bits.
