Video: Downhill rider puts $197 Walmart bike to full-on test

The Huffy Carnage looks pretty slick but at just $197 at Walmart, how does it perform when a downhill ride pushes it all the way?

 

On sale via Walmart in the US for just $197, the Huffy Carnage looks to the untrained eye like a pretty slick mountain bike complete with suspension.

So downhill rider Phil Kmetz decided to put it to the test by pushing it as hard as he could on a tricky run.

He suspected it wouldn’t last the test and says when he set out on an advanced downhill track at Thunder Mountain Bike Park in Massachusetts the better part of him was telling him it was a bad idea.

He made a few adjustments to the bike before the off, with the brakes, for example, not tuned properly.

And after a few bounces, skids and wheelies around the dusty car part of he went, literally.

Take a look at how he got on, his verdict may surprise you.
