Customer Reviews great entry level bike Date: 2008-06-08 | Rating: 5 Got this bike primarily for my commute to work. Yes, even though a mountain bike isn't the most efficient bike for the roads, I wanted something that I could get a little rough with. So far I'm not disappointed at all. The gears did need a little tweaking but after that it's been smooth sailing. The Shimano derailleurs are nice, the dual suspension is terrific (my first bike with any suspension). With probably a few upgrades to components this could be a hardcore bike. For this price it definately competes with $1000 bikes. Minimal assembly required Date: 2009-12-19 | Rating: 5 I am pleased with this product. It is not a high end Mountain bicycle but as an intermediate model it fits the needs of a casual rider. I found the seat too narrow and order a wider one. Parts can fall off the shifter levers if not used correctly. Not pretty,but pretty nice! Date: 2008-06-25 | Rating: 4 Not that looks are important in a bike that has comfort and plenty of quality features,but hmmm yellow? rides nice and smooth,i like the gear controls, they switch easy and overall bike is well made,great price! Mongoose Tech 4 26" Mountain Bike Date: 2007-08-07 | Rating: 4 Product was delivered promptly as expected. Assembly was easy. Features of product met my expectations. Gear set needed adjustment ... which was challenging. Was persuaded to buy color (yellow) matching athletic shoes from Amazon. Color matching bike gloves are next! Price was FAIR and equitable.

I like the wide wheels and the ease of use. I can keep up with my kids in the park and in the neighborhood and the gear shifts are easy to use. It also doesn't hurt my back like other bikes where you have to hunch over more. The seat can use a little more cushioning, but otherwise it is a great bike.

Amazon.com Bicycle Buying Guide Finding the Right Bike To really enjoy cycling, it's important to find a bicycle that works for you. Here are some things to keep in mind when you're in the market for a new bike: The Right Ride In general, bikes are broken down into three major categories: Road and Racing Bikes--As a general rule, road and racing are built for speed and longer distances on paved surfaces. Thinner tires, lightweight 29-inch (700c) wheels, and drop bars that allow for a more aerodynamic position are the norm. Most road bikes, regardless of price, offer many gears for tackling both hilly and flat terrain. Mountain Bikes--With their larger tires, hill-friendly gearing, and upright position, mountain bikes are very popular for all types of riding, both on pavement and off. Mountain bikes that are designed specifically for rugged trail use typically feature a suspension fork. Some may have rear suspension, as well. A quick change of the tires on any mountain bike--even one that you use regularly on trails--adds to its versatility and makes it a worthy street machine. Comfort/Cruiser Bikes--For tooling around on bike paths, light trails, or for cruising a quiet beach-side lane, comfort/cruiser bikes are the ticket. With a super-relaxed riding position, padded seats, and limited or no gearing, these bikes are made for enjoying the scenery and having fun with the family. The Right Price A bike's price boils down to three essentials: frame materials, bike weight, and component quality and durability. Entry-level--You'll find a wide range of comfort and cruiser bikes in this category, as well as some lower-end mountain bikes and road bikes. Most will have steel frames and components that are designed to last for several years with frequent use. Mid-range--Bikes in this range may feature a lighter aluminum frame with mid-range components that keep performing after miles of use. If you're looking for a quality bike that is relatively lightweight and will stand up to abuse, this is the "sweet spot." Most serious commuter and touring bikes fall into this category, as do mid-range mountain bikes with a decent front suspension. High-end--Racers and serious enthusiasts who expect lightweight, high-performance components will want to stick to this category. For road bikes, exotic frame materials (carbon fiber, titanium) and ultra lightweight components can add thousands to the price tag. Mountain bikes in this class often feature advanced front and rear suspension technology, as well as components designed to handle lots of rugged trail action. The Right Size Fit is crucial for comfort, control, and proper power and endurance on a bike. Here are some basic bike fit tips: Stand-over Height--To find out if a bike's overall height fits your body, measure your inseam. Next, determine how much clearance you'll need between your crotch and the top tube of the bike. For a mountain bike, you'll want three to five inches of clearance. A road bike should offer between one and two inches of clearance, while a commuter bike should have two to four inches. Compare the stand-over height for a given bike to your measurements (inseam + clearance) to determine the right bike height. Top Tube Length--You can measure your torso to get a good estimate of proper top tube length. First, make a fist and extend your arm. Measure from the center of your fist to the end of your collarbone (the part that intersects your shoulder). Next, measure your torso by placing a book against your crotch with the spine facing up. Measure from the spine to the bottom of your throat (the spot between your collarbones). Finally, add the two measurements (arm length + torso length), divide the number in half, and subtract six inches. This is your approximate top tube length. Compare this number to a bike's posted top tube length. You can allow for about two inches longer or shorter, as most bikes can be adjusted via stem length/height and saddle fore/aft position to make fine adjustments to the fit. Bikes for Women--Proportionally, women tend to have a shorter torso and longer legs than men. Bike makers design women's bikes that offer a shorter top tube and many comfort/cruiser bikes built for women may also provide more stand-over clearance. The Right Accessories When you make a bike purchase, don't forget these crucial add-ons: Helmet (this is a must!) Seat pack Lock Hydration pack, or water bottle and bottle cage Spare tubes Portable bike pump Gloves Customer Reviews I LOVE THIS BIKE! Date: 2008-11-03 | Rating: 5 I love this Polaris RMK bicycle. It's very well put together, smooth with a great design.

Customer Reviews Excellent Bike and Excellent Price Date: 2008-08-03 | Rating: 5 This is an excellent bike for $150. Worth every penny. Assembly took a few hours to tweek everything perfectly such as brakes and shifters. Next assembly would take about an hour if you have all tools and know what you are doing. Assembly instructions are not the best and could be simplified in 3 pages. GREAT!!! Date: 2008-08-09 | Rating: 4 Great bike!!! The sual suspension really works and it is great to use Only problem is that the left shifter sometimes slips the chain off of the gear and has to be re-attached but that is very easy. I Love It!!!! Good Item Date: 2008-10-14 | Rating: 3 It was a decent purchase. I received what i paid for. I had some technical problems when i put it together but nothing that you cannot solve by yourself. But overall, a great value. MGX DXR Date: 2009-05-26 | Rating: 3 Overall a good bike....mine WAS fun to ride but one day my friend and i were hitting a ten foot dirt jump and the rear suspension collapsed on the way up the jump which propelled me face first over the handlebars into the dirt. Now u can ride it because the little bar that runs perpendicular to the seat is press so hard against the tire that in cant spin AT ALL. Also the pedals are touching the ground. Maybe a good bike to tool around the neighborhood or some mild mtb with but not for dirt jumping and what not. I have emailed mongoose about spare parts...no reply so far. Availability Date: 2008-06-12 | Rating: 3 Amazon used to be the best deal around. But lately I have found their pricing becomes less competitive than before. Many items they are selling now can be found at equal or cheaper price at the local store. Mongoose Maxim bike is listed at $149 6/12/08 on Amazon but I found the exact same bike on sale for 99.99 at Meijer from 6/12 - 6/18. Meijer regular price for the bike is 129.99.

I rode it and the gears have no smoothness AT ALL, clunk, clunk. I would return it except for the time it took to put together, the time it would take to take apart, put back in the box then return, and double that with my daughter "loves" the color. The bike sucks, it is not put together well in any way. The only reason I didn't go through the hassle of returning, even with all that is above, is my daughter is growing (rapidly) and I suspect we won't keep this very long anyway. (and we work, I don't have time to assemble and unassemble and return and all that carp, I don't even have enough time for homework, which I'm guessing they are relying on) I usually trust reviews and this didn't have any, but it looked decent, my husband thought it looked good for a bike and my daughter liked the color (I know I'm repeating myself, but I can't believe we bought this thing).

Bike makers design women's bikes that offer a shorter top tube and many comfort/cruiser bikes built for women may also provide more stand-over clearance. The Right Accessories When you make a bike purchase, don't forget these crucial add-ons: Helmet (this is a must!) Seat pack Lock Hydration pack, or water bottles and bottle cages Spare tubes Portable bike pump Gloves Customer Reviews Great bike and I can prove it!!!!!! Date: 2006-06-09 | Rating: 5 I bought 2004 model (same but red/white color). It was on clearance at Amazon for $229.00 total. I used it on the bike lane beside my house with the kids. With the gas sky rocketing I decided to carpool, so started to bike 1 1/2 each way to the subway station to meet my ride and lock my bike with heavy duty cable. There are about 50 to 100 bikes chained to serires of posts. The bike was great. Shifts were smooth, the dual suspension makes you feel that you are riding on air. After couple month my bike was stolen. From all the bike, some were better than mine with less thicker cable, the ..... choose my bike. I was dsapointed, espacially I was enjoying the ride and the smootheness of the bike. Now I'm using my old bike which no one will take even if I left it unlocked. I bought a new Master Lock Street Cuff and a very thick chain (both with warranties to replace the bike if the lock was broken). Now, I'm waiting for my birthday in August and hoping the bike will go on sale till then. I strongly recommend the bike. I will buy one in august. A good bike for the price Date: 2007-11-04 | Rating: 4 This bike has a 6061 aircraft quality aluminum frame with aluminum alloy for forks and a alloy steel rear triangle. Easy assembly with basic hand tools within 30 minutes. you will need a tire pump since the tires are only partially filled at the factory. The shifters needed some adjustment to get in the correct gear which was easy. The bike features quick release hubs, (front and rear), a quick release seat post and thumb styles shifters. The bike has a very smooth ride compared to a traditional hard frame and could be even smoother if the tires were switched to comfort style tires but that would limit the bike to paved surfaces. My son who is more of an avid rider that myself said this bike was better than his Diamondback Outlook. Overall, if you are looking for an entry to mid level bike that is better than the run of the mill department store stuff. this might be your bike especially during the August clearance sale when they change year models/colors. The free shipping and no sales tax makes it even more attractive. Exactly as advertised Date: 2009-02-03 | Rating: 4 This bicycle is exactly as advertised. Assembly took about 30 minutes and I was up and running. The rear gears needed some slight adjusting, then everything worked great. For the price, this is a good bicycle. The one drawback is that it is quite heavy. Other than that I have no complaints. missing part Date: 2007-12-24 | Rating: 3 everything about the bike was great but...............it came missing a kickstand. now I have to contact the manufacturer and have it sent. Disappointed Date: 2008-03-19 | Rating: 1 One of the main reasons I chose this bike (and thought I was paying a little extra) was because it was advertised with 24 speeds, which I wanted for the hilly gravel roads we have here. Once I had it all assembled, I realized it only has 21 speeds. Assembly takes about an hour to unpack, inflate tires, mount front tire, attach handle bar, attach & adjust seat, and attach pedals. A tune-up would take several hours more as the brakes, the wobble in the front wheel, and both derailleurs need adjusting at the very least. For this I recommend the book Bicycle Maintenance & Repair (by Bicycling magazine). The documentation provided with the bike is thorough, but really intended for someone with technical knowledge and know-how. The stamped serial number is not legible - half of it's missing - so it can't be used for identification purposes if the bike is stolen. The bike appears to be of good average quality, but is not as advertised, and has to be returned.

Minor assembly is required before the bike can be used. Amazon.com Bicycle Buying Guide Finding the Right Bike To really enjoy cycling, it's important to find a bicycle that works for you. Here are some things to keep in mind when you're in the market for a new bike: The Right Ride In general, bikes are broken down into three major categories: Road and Racing Bikes--As a general rule, road and racing are built for speed and longer distances on paved surfaces. Thinner tires, lightweight 29-inch (700c) wheels and drop bars that allow for a more aerodynamic position are the norm. Most road bikes, regardless of price, offer many gears for tackling both hilly and flat terrain. Mountain Bikes--With their larger tires, hill-friendly gearing and upright position, mountain bikes are very popular for all types of riding, both on pavement and off. Mountain bikes that are designed specifically for rugged trail use typically feature a suspension fork. Some may have rear suspension, as well. A quick change of the tires on any mountain bike--even one that you use regularly on trails--adds to its versatility and makes it a worthy street machine. Comfort/Cruiser Bikes--For tooling around on bike paths, light trails, or for cruising a quiet beach-side lane, comfort/cruiser bikes are the ticket. With a super-relaxed riding position, padded seats, and limited or no gearing, these bikes are made for enjoying the scenery and having fun with the family. The Right Price A bike's price boils down to three essentials: frame materials, bike weight, and component quality and durability. Entry-level--You'll find a wide range of comfort and cruiser bikes in this category, as well as some lower-end mountain bikes and road bikes. Most will have steel frames and components that are designed to last for several years with frequent use. Mid-range--Bikes in this range may feature a lighter aluminum frame with mid-range components that keep performing after miles of use. If you're looking for a quality bike that is relatively lightweight and will stand up to abuse, this is the "sweet spot." Most serious commuter and touring bikes fall into this category, as do mid-range mountain bikes with a decent front suspension. High-end--Racers and serious enthusiasts who expect lightweight, high-performance components will want to stick to this category. For road bikes, exotic frame materials (carbon fiber, titanium) and ultra-lightweight components can add thousands to the price tag. Mountain bikes in this class often feature advanced front and rear suspension technology, as well as components designed to handle lots of rugged trail action. The Right Size Fit is crucial for comfort, control, and proper power and endurance on a bike. Here are some basic bike fit tips: Stand-over Height--To find out if a bike's overall height fits your body, measure your inseam. Next, determine how much clearance you'll need between your crotch and the top tube of the bike. For a mountain bike, you'll want three to five inches of clearance. A road bike should offer between one and two inches of clearance, while a commuter bike should have two to four inches. Compare the stand-over height for a given bike to your measurements (inseam + clearance) to determine the right bike height. Top Tube Length--You can measure your torso to get a good estimate of proper top tube length. First, make a fist and extend your arm. Measure from the center of your fist to the end of your collarbone (the part that intersects your shoulder). Next, measure your torso by placing a book against your crotch with the spine facing up. Measure from the spine to the bottom of your throat (the spot between your collarbones). Finally, add the two measurements (arm length + torso length), divide the number in half and subtract six inches. This is your approximate top tube length. Compare this number to a bike's posted top tube length. You can allow for about two inches longer or shorter, as most bikes can be adjusted via stem length/height and saddle fore/aft position to make fine adjustments to the fit. Bikes for Women--Proportionally, women tend to have a shorter torso and longer legs than men. Bike makers design women's bikes that offer a shorter top tube and many comfort/cruiser bikes built for women may also provide more stand-over clearance. The Right Accessories When you make a bike purchase, don't forget these crucial add-ons: Helmet (this is a must!) Seat pack Lock Hydration pack, or water bottles and bottle cages Spare tubes Portable bike pump Gloves Customer Reviews Very good Bicycle! Date: 2009-02-25 | Rating: 5 I bought this bicycle for my son. He loves it! I think it is well made and alot of fun. If you were thinking about this bike,get it. You won,t be sorry! I should have ordered something else Date: 2006-08-25 | Rating: 3 Got the bike and put it together, not hard to do but there aren't any instructions, so if you aren't mechanically inclined it could be tough. Once I got it together didn't like the green color to much, but not bad. I took my new bike out for a quick trip down the street and back home. The first thing I noticed was the front spring made for a very awkward ride; it made it hade to get my balance. But all in all not a terrible ride, put the bike back up, came out the next day to a flat in the front tire. The reviewer before said he had the same problem but at least he had it for 2 weeks not 2 hours. I got a hold of the right dept quickly and the guy I talked to said he would send me 2 replacement tires out the same day. I just got off the phone so I don't know if and when I will get them. If I do then no complaint except I have to take the tire off and change a tire which I haven't ever done before. So we'll see how the whole thing turns out. Flaws Restrict it to 2.5 Stars Date: 2007-04-01 | Rating: 2 I purchased the KDX2, the aluminum model, from Amazon. Delivery was quick and the box had all of the parts. With these Kawasaki bikes (the name is licensed; Kawasaki Motor Company has nothing to do with these bikes) you are getting what you pay for, if you paid less than $200 like me. Like other buyers, I experienced an anoying problem with the bottom bracket. The left (non-drive) crank arm kept falling off. After less than 5 minutes of pedaling the nut would unscrew itself and the crank would begin to wobble and then come completely unsecured. The cause of this problem likely is that the bottom bracket spindle was installed wrong at the factory or the part is just a cheaply made component and not reliable. And that's the story of the KDX2, the "factory/manufacturer" simply used the cheapest parts supplier they could find in China. I've discovered that some of the parts on the Kawasaki bikes are either non-standard or obsolete. That means that when it comes time to get replacements for worn parts you might have compatibility problems. If you're experienced with the mechanics of a bicycle and essentially know your way aroud a bike, then upgrading the bike might not be a big challenge. Just think of it as a bare frame that you want to put your own unique style on, sorta like that MTV show "Pimp My Ride." I've already upgraded the crankset, handlebar, stem, saddle, seatpost and headset with better quality name brand parts. But then I discovered the bottom bracket problem, so now I've got to replace that with a standard and name brand version. Down the road I'll get a new wheelset because all-aluminum rims and Shimano freehubs in the wheels are the contemporary standard now. And even still, the overall cost will be a lot less than if I had purchased an authentic entry-level mountain bike (about 400 bucks). The bottom line is, the KDX2 aluminum frame is decent(good welds, wide and sturdy tubes) but the stock components are of low quality. By the way, the warranty is one year but customer service is slow. Good looking, but..... Date: 2006-08-14 | Rating: 2 It is a great looking bike, but it took me two weeks to finally ride on it. I had to replace the front wheel. And when I did ride on it, i found it very difficult, when uphill, the bike tried to adjust the gear itself (you can hear the "KaTA Ka TA' noise), but this makes it impossible ride. So all I could do was to climb down and walked it till i could ride again. Beside, the customer service of the online shop I bought this from is horrible! I called them about 5 times, each time get a totally contradictory answer to the other answers.

It fits nicely on the bike rack for our travels to our other home in Vermont. I highly recommend this bike to anyone who is an avid, outdoor-type person, who enjoys mountain biking!

It sounds like their hands are growing not from the right place. My bike came on time as it was expected. And of course it was in the box. So, I had to set up steering wheel, pedals, and front wheel. I used for it simple Bicycle Tool (Topeak Alien II 26-Function) and the process was really easy. Than, logically, I precised breaks and shifts. Softened the spin and bike was ready. It runs very well. I maid on it 55m/hp and climbed all highest hills in SF. I truly don't believe that some parts could be broken. All parts are made by well-known German brands except aluminum Chinese frame, which actually is also good. So this is a good choice for those how has a taste in style. Damaged During Shipping. . . Date: 2009-09-14 | Rating: 3 I bought this bike for my younger brother for his birthday. It came in a timely fashion, yes, but it came broken. My brother had to spend something like 150 dollars to fix several things on it, and that is besides the money he had to spend to have it put together. Needless to say, I was not impressed. However, when I offered to call Amazon and try and get some kind of refund for the damages, my brother said that he loves the bike, and he didn't want to have to send it back to prove the damage. So, we didn't do anything about. Therefore, I can't say they didn't help us. We didn't seek their help. I wouldn't recommend doing that! When you spend this much money on a bike (for me this is a lot of money for a bike!), it leaves a bad taste in your mouth to have to make further adjustments. And besides that, he couldn't ride it when it was built, since there were pieces that had to be ordered. A total pain in the ass, basically. It sort of ruined the whole birthday present, since he had to pay for his own gift! Still, my brother absolutely loves the bike. He rides it every day. It looks good, but please, PLEASE, if it comes damaged, try and get someone from the company to pay for the damage. It's just not right to let that go. Hope everyone has better luck than we did! It is a good bike when everything on it is working. I'm not saying you shouldn't buy it. Just saying you should do something if your bike has the damage ours did. Don't buy this unless you want to replace everything. Date: 2009-08-13 | Rating: 2 I bought this bike, I put it together, and it looked great. Unfortunately, it's good looks could not mask the fact that it had many problems. It's front forks were not straight, the brakes barely worked and the freewheel broke on the first ride. The seat broke after landing from a very small drop.The derailer hook snapped while riding down hill sending me over the handle bars.I have put alot of money into this bike and have had to customize it my way, which was not my intention or in my budget. I felt like i was ripped off for almost $500. This bike does turn heads and has SOME really nice elements. I feel this company needs to do an overview on how they put these bikes together because they have lost me as a customer. I will never buy another bike from them, but I do hope they can do something better for others in the future. So to the people who want this bike, please take it to bike shop when you get it to see if you are getting what you paid for. Then at least you can return it if yours is as busted as mine was. Maybe i was just unlucky. I hpoe that these eye catching bikes are not all as much of a disaster as mine was. Truth is Lamborghini doesn't make bikes! Date: 2009-12-26 | Rating: 1 The truth is Lamborghini does not make bicycles they make cars. The company who really made this bicycle is Pacific Cycles. For over 10 years now Pacific Cycles has been tricking the public into buying budget low quality bicycles. They have bought well known companies such as Schwinn, GT, and Mongoose. Pacific Cycles is simply tricking people into buying their bicycles because of the name on the down tube of the bicycle. People think oh Mongoose I know Mongoose they use to make great BMX bicycles back when I was a kid. Oh wow Lamborghini makes a bicycle? If it's made by Lamborghini it has to be some exotic high performance bicycle right? WRONG! Pacific Cycles has tricked you. Ever heard the saying... "You get what you pay for"? It's true and if you expect to get a quality bike with full suspension you should expect to pay a minimum of $1500. These bikes retail in the $300 - $500 range because they are garbage. Here is how Union Pacific cuts the costs. First the bikes are made with high tensile steel. Of course they advertise it like high tensile steel is a good thing. You really want a bike made from Aluminum or Chromoly. If you get a bike made from steel and the metal is good quality it will generally advertise who made the tubes. Look for a sticker saying Reynolds, Colombus, Tange Prestige, or OX. High Tensile steel is the worst metal used to make bike frames because it is soft,heavy, and has an early failure rate. Now you may have noticed some brand name like Shimano on this bike, however these are bottom of the line shimano componets that are not suitable for off road use. The build quality on these bikes are absolutley horrific. The guys who build these bikes are paid per bike built and these bikes do not undergo a quality control test after being built. So the people who assemble these bikes do so as quickly as possible to make the most amount of money in a given day. This will lead to a bike that will need adjustments from day one and will rack up a nice little bill at the local bike mechanics. Honestly it's not safe to ride these bikes because they have not been assembled correctly. In short......... save your money and buy a better bike. Your first emergency room bill will be more than you spent on this bike. This is a bike that is designed to look flashy and uses name brands to sucker those who do not know much about bikes into buying this bike. As a general rule of thumb.......... you should only buy a bike from a shop that sells nothing but bikes. If you follow this rule, you will probably buy a decent bike.

Good Bike but needed alot of tweaking Date: 2009-05-27 | Rating: 4 I ordered this bike and another one like it (Pacific Tuscon Men's Dual-Suspension 26" bike) for my girlfriend and I. With my 2 day shipping plan they both came in excellent time. But the way they had them package kinda concerned me. Everything was tied in very close together. And they had the frame of the bike jammed into the spocks of the rim so take it out of the box very carefully (because i bent a spock). Now this bike didn't come in excellent condition. For one the front rim was slightly bent so I had to order another one (The other bike the rims were fine). The customer service was okay. But I was told that my new rim should be at my door in no more than 7 days. Well it took almost 14 days to get here. And i was told "just make sure you throw your old one away". yeah okay. Also the brakes needed to be tweaked (on both bikes),they worked but not well enough to go mountain biking with it,and also the gears needed tweaking (front and back on this bike)). And if you don't know what you are doing do not try to do it yourself especially the gears. I cannot give you a price on how much it would cost to have these things done but i used the internet to figure it out. Other than the minor repairs needed I am pleased with my purchase. The suspension is great (really can not feel those minor bumps). I've had the two for about 2 months now. Haven't had the chase to really break them in but seems to be sturdy enough.

I brought it home to my husband (who owns a Canondale and knows all about bikes) and he made some well needed tweaks here and there. I've rode twice (6 miles total) and didn't have any problems with sharp turns that others have written about. I think it's a keeper if assembled right and if you trade the seat with gel seat. Good Bike Date: 2008-04-17 | Rating: 5 I thank Amazon for the prompt delivery. I bought this bike for my wife. Although I assembled this bike myself, I took it to a bike shop for final tuning. It is in perfect shape now.She has not used it much but she is happy with it. I will surely recommend it. Happy Mongoose Customer Date: 2008-10-01 | Rating: 4 Service at Amazon was excellent! Many of the problems that were described in previous posts made sense to me becasue I had the same issue.However, it was not until I read the instruction manual and realized that I improperly assembled the fork( shock) backwards on the bike which led to poor braking and the wheel ultra close to my legs. Since the adjustment no problems. Shifts great, brakes well. Brought it into a shop for final once over. May help for others. Cheers Good Product for the Price Date: 2008-06-12 | Rating: 4 Was looking for an inexpensive bike to do some cardio and get in shape, so I selected the Mongoose Montana. I haven't rode a bike in about 10 years so I figured that this would be a great starter bike. The bike came fairly quick and after having it adjusted at the bike shop, I was riding in no time. I take the bike out almost every other morning and haven't had a problem yet. I even ride off trail in a neighborhood park and find the ride to be great. The breaks tend to be a little tight but that's an assembly issue. Overall, this is a great bike for the price. Pretty OK Date: 2008-05-03 | Rating: 4 I have had this bike for about a month now and ride it every day, mostly in town. It's nothing fancy. I bought it (not from Amazon) fully assembled, but had to tweak the brakes. I really don't know much about bikes and had not had one in 15 years. The bike is really nothing too fancy. The frame is a little more compact and I also experienced the problem with the tire hitting my foot on sharp turns. I thought I just had big feet. It isn't too much of a problem. I like my little bike.

Date: 2007-12-28 | Rating: 5 My wife and I purchased this bike and the "women's versions" of this bike together as a Christmas gift to one another. First, I am 37 years-old and disabled. I needed a bike that is light, yet strong enough to handle my 250lb + frame. Well, this bike is light due to all the aluminum parts that make up the bike and it is the aluminum that gives the bike it strength as well. The bike was a breeze to unpack and set up. Once again, I am disabled, I do not have the strength to manipulate cumbersome items... and this truly was not a cumbersome task! One hour tops from UPS Truck to being able to ride it up my street and back. During the easy and very short set up process, I had time to admire the welds and other artisanship details... I found no flaws. The bike was put together well at the factory. There were no scratches from the assembly line. The welds appear uniform (which is an excellent sign of a good weld). If I have one complaint, it would be the seat... Oh my gosh, that seat! Like I said earlier, I am 37 years old and 250lb +, the seat on this bike is not meant for a large buttock as mine! I think a vertical "Wiffle Ball Bat" would have been more comfortable than this wedge of a seat. I was one bump away from a Proctologist appointment! I am going to remove the seat and install one of those "farm tracker seats"... you know, the ones with the giant coil springs under the copious amount of foam covered in heavy duty 'all weather' fake leather covering! Yea, the Schwinn seat has to go! Can't go wrong with Schwinn Date: 2005-08-25 | Rating: 5 For the price you pay, Schwinn makes some of the best bikes available. Here for under 200 dollars you get a great mountain bike. It runs well, is high quality, and is a great value. You'd probably be better off getting this then a higher-priced bike from some other brand. Lots of bike for the buck!!! Date: 2006-04-13 | Rating: 5 I purchased mine 07/15/05. From the day I received it, ahh the smell of new tires!!, I've been riding this bike through the woods on and off trails (even though this bike is not rated for off road!) and on pot-holed city streets, with no noticeable problems, except for a punctured tube.(Unlike other reviewer, my bike came with an Omni front fork assembly, but I notice the pix on product page doesn't show one, I guess I got lucky!!!) I've performed minor adjustments on cables which after a few days of riding is normal. I've been riding bikes for over 40 years, primarily on a Peugeot UO-8, which I still use after 33 years, but I wanted a bike that was more suitable to run off road and this Chinese Schwinn filled the bill at about half the price of a T*** 3700, which was my next choice if this Schwinn was a bummer. The only problem I had, but adjusted to, was the seat, and I really don't know why, since the Peugeot that I've ridden forever, has a hard leather, non-padded/springed seat, and it has never worked me over! No other complaints from me, will forward some pix later. Well, I've got to get back to the trails! See ya' Twice as much bike for the money! No problems!

See ya' A great bike at a reasonable price Date: 2005-10-26 | Rating: 5 I was told by a bike colletor friend you must spend more than $300 to get a reasonablly good bike. But this Schwinn certainly has exceeded my expectation for what half of that money can buy you.
