Carrera Hellcat 29′ is an incredible budget bike!

Since this bike is somewhat popular in budget category, i just wanted to share my experience with it.
It's an awesome bike, i've bought it around 1.5 years ago used for 170 euro as a beginner (i'm still no pro) but i can tell you i wasn't very gentle with it. It has seen long and steep staircases, flat landings from various drops (sometimes reaching my height, around 1.8 meters, usually not more than 1.5) on dirt and pavement, falls and various trails. No cracks or anything whatsoever, it's still holding up strong and i can still do dumbest stuff, despite it being a hardtail. I have a slight dent in my front wheel from all the jumping, but it's incredibly minor, rest was maintanance like tires and brake components, cleaned the fork once, yes fork held up too.

If you are going to ride in a softer manner it will definetly hold up really well, but from my experience it can also take all kinds of beatings if you start riding more aggressively. It's relatively light, i never had any problems with it's weight.

Of course it's not a high-tier bike, it will eventually break if you go too hard on it, but i find it pretty impressive that it held up and still holds up stuff that higher tier bikes do, but considering it's price, it won't hurt a much if it fails. (Money wise)

Definetly a nice bike for a beginner or anyone looking for budget MTB.
