Stick any friends on that pile and they'll never be in the mood for a bike ride again.
That looks like a Horst link but it's got a fucking spring on it!
Springs are for down hill bikes only...! That thing probably weighs 50lbs... seriously. 50 lbs.
Bikes with names of car manufacturers on them are always totally crap walmart junk. I actually saw a road bike called a yukon denali the other day...lmfao!
You CAN NOT get a decent full suspension bike for under a grand. Plain and simple. and a grand will only get you a "decent" FS bike. I just built my first FS cross country bike last spring, A giant anthem. I bought some used parts from ebay, and got the rest of it at cost from the bike store my girlfriend works at and I spent well over $1500. The only thing worse than no suspension, is bad suspension. Mushy, energy sapping crap.
You really don't need a full squishy bike for guests BATMAN. I'd buy a basic hardtail like a Cannondale F7, new for around $600 or under, used for a bit less, or a Giant Rincon or something along those lines (FROM A BIKE SHOP>>> NOT WALMART). They're fairly light, work well and are fun for anyone to ride. They also hold their value, which will be good when you figure out that people who don't normally ride a bike, typically don't ever want to ride a bike.....
If you buy a cannondale people will think it's expensive even though it isn't..... we all know how much you like that
