The Base TA20 as a tough frame very lite easy to bounce on the back wheel. But the bad thing is the brakes,If they waz upgraded to maguras it would be good. Even though it still is a great bike and very good 4 pro's and beginner.

Review
Absolutely great. I love this thing. I've learnt everything on this bike and its taken a real bashing about but is still going without fault. Everyone loves the colour and the seat. The only thing i dont like is the brakes as the standard tek-tro's slipped a lot but is great now i have avid pads. No other moans apart from i wish it had wider handlebars.
Well worth buying!

It has now bin 5 and a bit months since i bought this bike. it has helped my riding as far as improving goes but that could be due to me riding a giant acid. this bike is spot on. It works well riding street stuff and can handle sum natural stuff too. Everything on this bike works jus rite.
