Reviews One well-designed, sturdy bike!  by: on: 15-Nov 2009 After shopping around and reading reviews of other bikes, I decided on buying this one, even though it was on the higher end of mountain bikes under $300. I decided not to buy a road bike for two reasons: 1) the route I take to commute to and from work has many conditions unfavorable to road bikes and 2) the increased cost of road bikes. My commute is about 13 miles from home and I've been riding this bike for almost a month now 2-4 days a week. I can hop off sidewalks, run over speed bumps, go through gravel and dirt and the roughness/shock is substantially reduced due to the dual-suspension system on the bike. The brakes and gearshifters (after properly adjusting them) make a comfortable fit. The gears shift very smoothly from one speed to the next. The pedals, though made of a plastic composite, haven't cracked or broken yet. Now onto the cons. One of the first things I noticed after riding is that my inner seat bones would get sore if I rode the bike for more than two days consecutively. Eventually, I had to replace the seat with something more comfortable. It's something any male bicyclist should do anyway because the stock seat (and many others with similar design) can cause impotence after long-term use. Secondly, the bike is on the heavier side weighing 38 lbs stock. There's not much to be done about this because the frame is naturally heavy. You can replace the tires and/or wheels, the seat, the handlebars, the pedals, and switch the disk brakes to rim brakes; but if you're going to do all that, you should probably get a more expensive bike that weighs less in the beginning. Overall, I'm very satisfied with my purchase because I know that it's going to last me a long time. For the amount of money that it costed, if it does get stolen I can't get too upset. When I get tired of the weight of this bike (or if it gets stolen before then), I'll look into getting a more expensive, lighter bike. Great Bike for the Money by: on: 20-Oct 2009 A Little complicated to assemble. derailer was bent during shipping. took it to the local bike shop and they did assembly and dialed it in no time.... Add $50 to the cost to get someone to assemble it and dial it in if your not a bike expert. Other than that. great bike for the money.... very happy.... Not as good as you think  by: on: 10-Oct 2009 If you looking for real MTB, try the others. It just a bike with cheap parts and also this bike will let you waste more strength to paddle and creat a lots of metal noise. Not worthy to spend $249 on this one. Piece of junk. The panzer of bikes by: on: 26-Sep 2009 It's amazing how a light weight bike (And a low prize bike) can hold my 205lbs, in my 2 hours daily workout around Granada golf course in Coral Gables. Definitely a must buy. View All ReviewsView All Mountain Bikes |
