Indigo Bikes, any feedback?

[Fat Albert]

Looking around at an MTB for my Wife in the £250-£400 price bracket and there seems to be a huge variance in the quality of fittings fitted to 'good' brand's offerings

The spec of this Indigo seems pretty good with Shimano Alivio Front and back, Hydro Disks, Selle saddle, Gila forks and Schwalbe tyres:

But I can't find any decent reviews or feedback on t'web?

What is a good alternative in this price bracket?
This looks good, but is £90 more expensive for a lower-level Groupset!

Decathlon have rockrider 5.3 much better equipment on it and the forks will be miles better,I had rest gila on a £600 ghost I bought years ago and they were crap swapped them for a set of rockshox rebas and transformed the bike.i can't begin to explain how bad that fork is.

Do you really need front suspention ? What trails are you going to ride?

Sometimes better going for ridgid fork would be better than the gila fork anyway


Hope that helps

Cheers

Thanks for the info Subsea, running Rockshox on both mine and my daughter's homebuilt bikes

My Wife rode a Specialized in Greece last year and liked the whole suspension fork thing

The suntour fork isn't too bad ,much better than any of the rst rubbish.

The rockrider gets good reviews on mbr and the like and I've just pointed my mate in that direction for him and missus

The SRAM x5 stuff is same as deore,pretty good value tbh

Cheers

Thanks again, I am not well up on the SRAM stuff, both boikes I have built are Deore or XT running gear
