Got to be a decent buy for the money? All sizes apart from small in stock. Decent enough to upgrade as parts wear out.

Oh, VRS model available too, £100 more.

Straight steerer forks makes upgrades harder (assuming frame is also straight).

^^ Don't take my word for it but I *think* it takes tapered forks no problem. I saw a review somewhere.

The frame has a tapered head tube, just the forks are straight with an adaptor crown race

I'd say the VRS is a much better buy, tapered boost thru axle fork instead of QR, both QR rear, Deore 10 speed 11-46 ( Sunrace), Deore chainset instead of 8 speed 11-42 (Sunrace) Box drivetrain with Samox chainset

Nice. I bought the 24" version for my daughter when it was £300 and am super impressed with it. Proper air fork, Clarks hydraulic discs, Box groupset, proper Maxxis tyres.

There's a womens-specific 27 VRW at the same price, smaller size range, shorter frame for the same size.

That looks like excellent value, the same price that I paid for my Specialized Hardrock back in 2006, but with a much better spec😳
