Well, it's finally happened. After much searching I found a used bike in my meagre price range.
What have I actually bought? The 1×9 is apparently off a newer bike and I'm pretty sure the front axle upgrade is an addition too. Is this bike semi suitable for downhill for a beginner?
Are there any good guides that deal with maintaining the air shocks and hydraulic brakes? I come from a recreational motorbike riding background if that helps.
I'm 174cm – it feels a little cramped but workable with the seat up. I looked up the Giant dirt jumper frame size but nothing came up. But all the Giant frame charts I found listed the medium in my height range?
Are there any riding videos that would help an absolute level 1 beginner?

Definitely not suitable for downhill. Pls don’t downhill this 😆 dirt jumper hell yeah! Light trail no worries. Enjoy mate! Ride it and learn basic maintenance online from parktool videos and nothing else. Enjoy excited for ya!
That bike is going to be perfect at the jump park.Â
