Got back into riding on an Aggressor a few years ago. Asked Halfords if they could do any discount on it and they knocked 10% off with no problems.

Mrs 83 has just started using it to learn to ride now.

Basically it's a good, fun little bike. Frame, paintwork and all the long term bits have lasted well especially considering how much they cost. It's been round Afan including 'black runs' and been dirt jumped and generally abused without complaining.

IIRC - The Aggressor is exclusive to Halfords & is basically an Avalanche.I had an Aggressor XC2 in the past which actually had some components of a better spec than the equivalent Avalanche.I found it fine,if not a little heavy,but what do you expect for £400.Took it to all the Welsh trail centres & did some all day rides on it locally & it didnt miss a beat.
