I want to buy a MTB from Halfords but I don't know which one.

I've been looking at some bikes and I'm thinking about buying the Carrera Kraken Mens MTB. My budget is 450-500 pounds and I'm not sure on what to get can anyone help me decide on a bike to purchase?

Welcome!

What will you be using your new bike for? Riding round a city? Country lanes? Shopping?

The Kraken looks to have a long travel suspension fork; do you need to carry around all that weight?

If you like it then get it.
I've not had that one but I've had a Voodoo Hoodoo from Halfords and that was about £490 and it was absolutely fine, no problems.
Just make sure that all the nuts and bold have been tightened properly etc.
