4 reasons not to buy

Bottom line
From reports, this Australian-made marque comes kit with a respectable chromoly frame and decent quality components. As it’s packed with reflectors and a front brake, one owner felt that it was intended for younger children. However, the manufacturer may be simply providing safe accessories for a wide range of customers. One rider snapped a pedal while nailing tricks in a skatepark. Along with other rider reflections, this suggests that the Aspire is a good beginner bike as complete, but is still a solid basis for continued customization and advanced use.
