Customer Reviews

Very nice bike for the money
Though a bit heavier than I would have liked, it was packaged well when shipped, and shipped quickly. It is a great looking bike, and the shifting components are good for the money. Front and rear disc brakes are so nice versus the typical V-brakes. Front wheel was shipped bent, but Amazon made good on the problem by reimbursing me for the expense.

Nice but HEAVY ... 3 1/2 stars
Bike looks great and functions nicely after a short time putting the bars on, the pedals and the wheels. The gears wouldn't change properly and alhtough I'm handy w/ all things mechanical I couldn't dial in the adjustments no matter what. Took it to a bike shop to have them look at it and said everything was jacked up, and that was certainly true. Another $40 to have it tuned and everything is well now. Brakes, gears.. good.
BUT... THIS BIKE IS HEAVY! There's no getting around that. I didn't notice the weight stated on the description and just assumed it would be lighter than the tank it is.
Also, frame size I got was 16". I'm 5'8" legs about 31". Seat post is a bit long but I don't have to cut it like other posters. If the option was available I would have gotten a 17" frame.
So the bottom line, it looks great, is dog heavy but functions nicely. For a casual rider like me.. it's good to go.

great bvike,terrific ride
Delivery was prompt,the fedex guy even carried it to our 2nd floor!I have never assembled a bike and i could do it effortlessly in about 20 minutes.All that you have to do is fit the front tire,reflectors and seat post.the derallieurs come pre-tuned,so you are ready to ride 30 minutes after the package arrives.
I ride the bike once a week on off-road trails.Handling is terrific,although the rear derallieur can get stuck once in a while.I take meticulous care of the mechanism,wash & oil after each ride,tuned perfectly,so the rear derallieur thing is a bit of a let down when i take to steep uphills although it does not glitch all the time.
Everyone's correct abt the seat post.it was too long for me and I'm 5' 9'' and I had to cut it,but now the seat post is loose most of the time and i have had to tape it for extra grip.
aside from that the front shocks,disc brakes,kenda komodo tires are a dream.the thumb shifters work effortlessly.take good care of the front shocks and you can hear them work.I travel on all sorts of terrain on my rides(asphalt,grass,gravel,mud)and so far have not had any handling or stopping issues.
the paint scheme is ordinary but if you are looking for performance over looks,this is the bike to own.
P.S.-Always wear your helmet
happy mountain biking
