Depends on the riding/your skill really.
I had a whyte G150 and rode it (badly) on some fairly gnarly stuff and it was great but on trail centre and stuff more my level it was too much in that it just took everything too much in its stride.
Just felt like it was so far in its comfort zone I could just point it at stuff and hang on didn’t matter how bad I was riding it would make it through. At first I thought it was great making me go faster and making things much easier… This wore off after a while and it was just too much bike and made my riding go backwards if anything just relying on the bike.
Very happy with my choice to go to a 120mm travel 650+ hardtail makes me ride properly(or crash) and I’m actually riding faster on now it’s forcing me to ride better.
Wouldn’t say it was a bad bike at all just not the right bike for me at this stage in my riding, but if you just want to keep up with your mates without trying to hard it would be great.
