Pro by name, pro by nature. The Boardman MTB Pro with its full suspension alloy frame, and top notch finishing kit, even the smallest of details haven't been overlooked.

Did a weekend at glentress on this bike, full red and black route,glentress is just as narly as any other trail in the uk and this bike handled it fine, on the other hand saw three 4/5k carbon bikes with 160/180mm of travel with snapped frames, one pivot mach 6 one whyte 146s and gt force all cracked/snapped frames and to add too it they wasn't even pushing as hard as me, so as long as your suspension is set up right 130mm travel is enough for any red route in this country, what to do black routers buy a downhill bike
The 'smooth weld' isn't fooling anyone. It's polyfilla over normal welds, adds weight, does nothing (except worry you when it cracks).
First Dislike !!! :)
got the 2012 fs & i love am saving for this know but the standard pedals suck lasted a week
As a returning biker who has previously ridden Marin and Kona I have been delighted with the Boardman FS Pro. It may not be the best thing for mega downhills or jumps but for riding the trails it is an absolute bargain. It is not set up with a slack enough head angle or enough suspension movement for some riders, so buy something else. What it does it does well and without costing too much it manages to be very respectably specced!
There is no point having 160mm of travel if it's not setup correctly. 130mm is more than enough on UK trails if you bottom that out all the time you either need to lay off the pies or get the suspension properly setup for your weight
-_- what I don't get is why they can't put AT LEAST 140mm travel. 130 is to little, Forrest of dean, swinley forest, Aston hill, all eat up my 160mm travel hardtail!
