Is the Heybike Villain good?

The specs are pretty good but is the quality also good?

I just finished a build sponsored by them and when I took it out for the test ride l discovered that the left fork seal is busted and it’s leaking fluid all over the front brake caliper and rotor, making the front brake only work if I squeeze it very hard. I can also tell that the forks are not working as well as before, when I got it I could bounce on the pegs and the frame would move straight up and down, but now when I do it the forks don’t compress at all, only the rear shock. Pretty disappointing considering my bike is relatively new, although I did beat on it pretty hard. I’m going to email them and see what they say.
Otherwise I think it’s a fine bike, it’s definitely competitive in its category.

I've heard the customer support is not great for heybike if you run into issues or need parts. There was a time when a certain model frame was actually splitting in half on the sub.i believe it was the fat tire tyson model. Honestly the track record doesn't look good .
