Who out there owns a Raleigh MTB?! -Companion -Eva -Evo -Fleet -Inferno -Kodiak -Lahar -M Series -Mojave -Mountain Scout -MT Series -MTi Series -Pardner -Phase -Ram -Rowdy -Rumson -SC Series -Skarn -Talus -Tara -Tekoa -Tokul -XXIX Series -Ziva
Great bike except for the cheap coil suntour fork up front paid only 450$ Canadian out the door for the bike, which is basically the price of a decent fork so no complaints you get what you pay for bars are a little narrow but easy upgrade overall I have nothing bad to say about Raleigh
Back in the day I had a Moonshine it had Reynolds 531 frame then an Apex, the Moonshine was proper old school basically a road bike with knobbly tyres. The Apex was actually really good for the time, I used to hit some big jumps on it.
The UK manufactured Raleighs are long gone though.

Yeah Raleigh lived and died in Canada to glad there still around tho, and the fact that you use to jump an apex is nuts I couldn't imagine shredding a rigid bike lol that's nuts!
I ride a 2017 Raleigh Tekoa 29" that I purchased in August '17 in the size medium (a little small, but got a great deal), which is my first mountain bike. It has nearly 800 miles on it now...
I have added a Brand X 120mm dropper post & WTB seat, WTB i23 wheels w/ XT hubs & TCS tires, Rockshox Revelation RLT, & semi metallic brake pads.
It has been a blast to ride, and when I have the budget, I will be moving onto an Enduro FS bike, and my GF can use this.
