Need to get a new bike to get around town... so i dont need those hardcore dirtroad and trail bike thats gonna get bashed up... suspension would be nice.. but not necessary..

im 6'4 , need a mountain bike thats possibly under $200...cause im a student, cant afford those $700 bikes... dont care bout brand, as long as it can hold out and not break down every month.

i live in canada.. so i guess i can goto toys r us or canadian tire, zellars, walmart.. all i need is a name/model number, so i can watch for them... thx for ur help!

Do not get that bike.
It looks terribly heavy, and you're going to run into all sorts of issues with the rear suspension. It's a terrible design made to look high-tech, but it's only going to be a headache. Please, for your own enjoyment, stick with a hardtail. For some reason, they don't have any $200 hardtails, but the one for $99 looks sturdy. And I think sturdy is the best you're going to get from that lot. The "dual-suspension" model is NOT sturdy.

Go for this one. $99:


Not this one.
