 Product Catalog > Bikes / Frames > Mountain Bikes GMC Yukon Mountain Bike By: Gmc Average Rating: 3.0 Total Reviews: 8 Features:
Product Description: The GMC Yukon features a strong aluminum frame utilizing a floating beam suspension design, mated to a Zoom suspension fork with elastomer/spring technology. The Yukons drivetrain starts with Microshift twist shifters controlling Shimanos tried and true TZ-30GS derailleur, and finishes up with a strong aluminum wheelset featuring a V-shape rim profile and high flange alloy hubs. Stopping is handled by Promax alloy V-brake front and rear, vastly superior to rim brakes especially under adverse road conditions. True to its GMC roots, this bicylcle is rugged, good looking, and built for the long haul. Factory contact information at 1-800-451-KENT (5368) or www.kentbicycles.com. Where to Buy
Reviews Good Strong solid bike  by: on: 27-Mar 2009 These are great bikes for entry level or people who don't plan professional biking career. I got it well packaged, easy to assemble, nothing really to do except mounting the front wheel and putting the breaks in place afterwards, then mounting the pedals. I ride it along with my son, on a back mounted children seat I got from Ross. shifts are easy and smooth, it needs calibration, as any other shifts. they are not the lightest bikes, but it's strong, I'm loading over 300 pounds on them with my son. The seat is reasonable, not very soft, and it's good that it's not that small tiny seat because for big people that one is a pain in the... but you know, it takes few rides for the ... to get used to those seats. Tires are good, I may replace them with less mounty ones, since i drive it on roads and paved tracks, not really down hill wild rides. Nice bike for a kid but disappointing  by: on: 02-Jul 2008 The bike frame was welded together wrong! The front wheel could not be put on the bike because the arms were not aligned. How can they make a bike so obviously defective and try to sell it? IF the bike had been correctly manufactured, it would have been the perfect bike for my 13 year old son. The quality of the bike itself was OK, a few things probably should have been a bit more quality, like the pedals, they were plastic, not good for $169. I'd say if you are a serious biker, this is not the bike for you. If you ride a bike for lesiure or family time, it would be fine. Buying through Amazon was great, I was able to return the bike, free shipping, and was credited back the $169. I love buying from Amazon, they make it so easy for you, if your purchase doesn't work out. So don't tear the box up until you know the bike is a keeper! Only thing good about this bike is the price...  by: on: 19-May 2008 Like other reviewers have pointed out the brakes on this thing are flimsy and its only a matter of time before the fail to work properly. Shipping was free and it looked that way when I received the bike. Shipping was so bad my rear rim was so bent it would not spin. Also the front forks/shock system was so badly put together I had to take it to the local bike shop and have them redo it. When riding the gears would automatically change. I'm sorry to say I do not recoomend this bike. Take your money and invest it into a better bike. I wish I had :( P.S One good thing about this bike is it has a sturdy aluminum frame. Thats about it. Could be better by: on: 05-May 2008 Amazon did their job quite well, it is GMC who did not perform so great. The bike arrived well ahead of schedule, however, the bike is not very well built. The frame is solid, the brakes and gears are a bit cheap, and they gave me a different seat than what was pictured(it is a big old granny seat). If you were to put new brakes and maybe a new gear set on this bike it would be about a 400 dollar bike. So it is overall a project bike for me, otherwise a great starter bike for someone who does not ride often. View All ReviewsView All Mountain Bikes |
