Excellent September 7, 2008

I had been looking for a bike so I could teach the kids how to ride on the roads. After much checking around, this bike had 2 helpful reviews. Based on their comments, I decided to take the plunge and I am not disappointed at all.
Took about 30 min to put together but had to spend 15 further mins sorting the brakes out so the wheel turned freely.
Took it out with the boys at the weekend and it rode faultlessly. Smooth gear changes and sturdy build quality. Only downside is the seat is not that comfortable so will purchase a gel seat to sort it out. Other than that, a great choice.
Anyone who buys will be very happy with their purchase.
Worth paying the extra pennies!!! September 4, 2008

I was searching for a new bike that would be suitable for my wife to accompany me and our two boys on a bike ride. We had earlier in the week purchased a Shockwave full suspension bike at Halfords for 79.49 but this proved to be a total disaster as the gears would not set up properly and the staff didn't seem to have the know how how to resolve the problem!! This was a bad cheap bike with a poor design due to when you sat on the bike you lost all the tension on the front derailleur mechanism, therefore it wouldn't change gear properly! However on searching Amazon, I discovered the Silverfox Primate forsale at half price. I ordered the bike Thursday morning on Super saver delivery and it arrived Saturday morning, that's what you call service. The bike came delivered in a box, I had to assemble the handlebars, pedals etc and few minor tweaks to the gears/brakes but within about 1 1/2 hrs we set off for a ride. Although I am not a great lover of the Gripshift gears this bike seemed to change smoothly and the gears were indexed well. The bike looks fantastic and the frame quality is equally as good as my own Saracen, which was twice the price!
I can certainly recommend the Silverfox as a alternative option to higher priced bikes, it comes with a good spec and will make you the envy of most people you pass on the cycle track or offroad. The bike comes with a 2 year guarantee on the alloy frame and 1 year on components.
My wife is very satisfied with the bike and it is an ideal option to buying a traditional framed "ladies" bike, she is 5'3" tall and this fits her perfectly.
Well done to Silverfox and Amazon!!!

After reading various reviews on a selection of mountain bikes,came to the conclusion that this was the best value for money,higher spec bike for me.
After buying a cheap 70 bike a couple years ago,which broke thought i'd spend a little more on one this time,and considering its half price thought it was worth while.I ordered it on Thursday and it was delivered by the Saturday using the free super saver delivery option.other company's charge up to 20!
Well i wasn't disappointed,it arrived well packaged.once out the box i had to bolt the handle bars on and the front wheel,that's it! The gear change was extremely smooth and no rattling on the front derailleur,unlike a lot of other bikes i'd ridden.In fact i didn't have to adjust the gears in anyway,the only thing i did have to adjust was the disc brakes,which once I'd figured out how they worked was quite easy done.It's a superb looking bike and well made,you can tell the difference from a cheaper bike,all i can say is if your considering a cheaper bike pay the difference,cause you wont be disappointed.

Spent a few weeks trying to sort out the best deal for a new pushbike to use for offroading with the family, I remembered the Silverfox brand name from years ago and was always a great bike, so i took the plunge and ordered one, delivery took just 3 days(with super saver)
was torn between the Primate 26 and the Fiery Demon. I chose the Primate as it was Alloy framed and fixed rear.
I must say how outstanding the bike is, first class finish, laquered transfers rather than stickers, Bigfoot wheels handle bars seat stem etc, sram3.0 gripshif gears which have a remarkably accurate change(with a slight adjustment to the travel) none adjustable zoom branded front forks, and zoom branded disk brakes, this bike is easily built as good as bikes twice the price.
Well worth the money.
Amazon is the place to buy, there service is truly fantastic, and proffesional.
If your after a new bike go get one, and go get it from here!
very pleased August 12, 2008

Reviews on this bike are very hard to find on the net, I did find one but it was based on price and description from a bike dealer who obviously only deals in top notch bikes, he described it as a 'bike shaped object' so I was very dubious about buying this bike.....I'm not a hardened bike rider I just wanted a bike to use for leisure and to get to work, I don't claim to be an expert in this subject but thought a review would be of help to others like me. it was ordered and delivered the next day so i started to assemble it. i had a good look over the bike first and it seemed to be very well made, it was pretty easy to put together and it does look like a very decent bike. the disk brakes are good but not hydraulic (who needs hydraulics on a push bike anyway!!) and everything seems sturdy. the gear change is smooth with no rattles and the front suspension is really quite excellent. i am 5' 11" and the bike is just the right size although anyone over 6' should maybe consider getting a bigger frame. The bike is pretty light but feels sturdy. I cannot figure how to raise the handlebars as the front suspension set up is similar to a motorcycle set up, even with the bars right down it didn't seem to be a problem.
at this stage I can't fault the bike, once I've ridden it for a while I'll try to put another review on here just to let you know if it 'does what it says on the tin' but for the money I paid for it i wasn't expecting a Claude Butler and consider this to be excellent value for money.
