I am looking at buying costcos northrock xc27 bike and have a budget of $400-$500. Im wondering how this bike would compare to any Gt bikes or if this bike is any good.
I am not an expert rider and just started mountain biking.
Included are pictures of the specs
I am 5 foot 8 and weigh 180lbs. My plan is to start on beginner trials and make my way up to more advanced ones. I will not be jumping the bike like crazy but I want something that can take beatings and last a long time.

This is not that bike, unfortunately. At $400, there is no way that suspension system will be on any benefit (unless adding weight to the bike is a benefit).
Happy to provide other options, but $400 is not going to get you a trail bike that can take beatings and last a long time.
