I think a Hunqa can serve as a nice trail bike and handle pretty rough terrain and meets the def. of most '80's MTB's. Those of riding back then did quite a bit on those rigid steel bikes including some crazy downhill races ( Mammoth Kamikaze) . But... unless you have some really good skills you will struggle to stay with today's MTB's on a group ride. They generally take bigger tires ( 2.4") and have hydraulic disc brakes which permit faster riding (they stop faster too). The suspension keeps the wheels on the ground climbing so you can climb fast too. I think the Hunqa's niche is off-road touring and exploring... which is mostly what I do these days, but now and then it's fun to scream down a fast trail just barely in control... where a suspended, disc braked, big tire bike excels.
