Carrera Sulcata

Rolandtheroadie

Looking to get a mountain bike for the local forest access roads (mostly hardcore, red ash and a bit of mud) and was thinking of a Carrera Sulcata.
The only reviews I can find are on the Halfords site itself.
Does anyone have any experience of them and recommend getting one?

Have a look at the second market. You can get a much better bike for your money that way.

There's not much on the go locally, most of what is is either looks to be cheap stuff or really expensive.
Just went with the Carrera, we'll see how it goes.

"the second market"? Is that the posh way of saying second hand? Surprised the cycling types haven't got a French phrase they can use.:D

I've never heard the phrase 'second market' before: maybe Steve just innocently missed out the 'hand' by mistake?

There are reviews of Carrrera mountain bikes on the Bike Radar web site, but not this particular model:

The Carrera looks good for the money as in that sort of price range you can get some utter garbage but that Carrera looks like the parts are a decent choice for the price.

I hope you enjoy your new bike.
