Is the Huffy Moire 26 Women's Full-Suspension Mountain Bike a good buy?
In all probability - no. A full-suspension bike at that price level will be very heavy, with very little adjustability. It'll do fine fine for pottering around the neighboorhood, but any kind of regular riding will quickly leave you wanting more.
So, it's not good enough to be taken off road( where the suspension can do you some good), and if you stay on road, all the suspension does is add weight and flexiness to the frame.
For utility oriented road use you'd be far better off with a rigid frame, rigid fork and some fenders and maybe a rack on the bike.
