Big Bang for the BuckApr 11, 2010
By Boogie Down Bronx
Dual suspension, dual disc Promax brakes, deep V Arrow wheels with fat 2.35 tires in a cool star spoke pattern, and best of all an aluminum hydro-formed frame that is as sexy as it is durable! All for under $400. True, parts like the SR Suntour front shock, standard Shimano Altus dereuillers, and no name brand rear spring are sub-par for any serious mountain biker, but I priced all these parts separately and you can't build your own for less than $750. That's not including the stuff you will need to ride comfortably, like pedals, a handlebar and a seat. This is by far the best investment on a bike I've ever made.

 Nice for the cost.Mar 13, 2011
By David Hopwood
I was very impressed with the bike when it came. When I built the bike it seemed very solid. I did not have a chance to road test it. Had to return the product due to a defective rear brake caliper bolt that was made too long causing it to eat into the disc. Other than that one issue, pretty solid construction.
I have just received the replacement for this bike. Of course the first thing I looked at was the rear brake caliper. The bolt this time is not as bad as previously, but it is still going to cause me to return the bike. The rear bolt on the caliper is slightly less than 1 mm away from the disc. This means any sort of wear or tear is going to cause the bolt to dig into the disc once again. The same bolt on the front caliper is approximately 3 mm away from the disc, which is normal. This is probably just a bad defect where the brake caliper does not fit the frame of this bike well at all. Amazon on the other hand has been very willing and prompt on replacement/return.

 Great bike!Oct 17, 2010
By D. Sanderson
"azdinker"
The bike was delivered mostly pre-assembled, only the front wheel, seat, pedals, and handlebar needed to be attached.
The instructions were somewhat complicated, as the manual was not just for this model bike, but for EVERY model Mongoose bike. "If your bike has disc brakes, do this, if your bike has pad brakes, do this" and you really have to flip around in the manual quite a bit to figure out what you do and don't have! Also, the illustrations in the manual don't match the bike at all. For the most part though, assembly is self-explanatory.
As for the bike itself, it's very nice to ride. The front and back shocks really make a lot of difference in comfort, although I did replace the seat with a gel-padded one, the included seat wasn't comfy at all! The 24-speed vs a 21-speed is easier to pedal/ride. It shifts smoothly without any adjustments, only the disc brakes need to be tweaked before the first ride. I've gotten several compliments regarding the bike's styling, it really is an attractive ride!
I can't say how this is for an actual mountain bike, I've only taken it on city streets and will more than likely never actually take it down some rugged trail, but it really is a joy to ride. My previous bike was a Trek hybrid. My Trek is much lighter than this one, but the tires are 1/2 as wide and, 16 years ago, it was $550 new, it's supposed to be a higher-performance bike.
I have looked at bikes in some of the nearby sporting stores and discount stores since buying this, and I have to say I'm very pleased with the price I paid on Amazon for the features this bike has. I've seen several other bikes with similar features as this Mongoose and they were several hundred $ more! I would buy this again and recommend it to others!

Not bad for the price... but..Jun 12, 2010
By L. Hernandez
For the price the bike is not bad, if your looking to use it just to exercise or just cruise the bike is great. If your looking to actually ride the mountains and go through rough terrain this is not the bike for you.. the rear shock is pretty much useless the front shock is horrible when you press the front brakes the front shock wobbles its not made well at all.. as far as absorbing the bumps the front shock is ok... the brakes are ok and the gears are good. When I received the bike it was very easy to assemble I just had to bring it to a bike shop to adjust the gears so they shift properly other then that... I give the bike 4 stars. Can't beat the price.

Excellent bike for this priceOct 03, 2011
By Ivo
I bought this bike 4 month ago and I can say so far so good.
The assembly was easy enough, you need to mount the front tire, the steering and the pedals. You do not need instructions for this, but if you reed them, they can really make you wonder what you need to do and how to do it. The only instruction which was accurate and useful was the disk brakes adjustment. You need to do this before taking the bike out.
The bike ride is quite soft and comfy. This is a plus and a minus. If you ride in gravel and novice trails, you will enjoy the ride, you can do small jumps too, but if you do to medium to complex trails with ups and downs, side ride, etc. the shockers are too soft and you start loosing control.
Brakes are quite good, the seat is not bad, you can change it if you don't like it, nice 24 gears, good rims and tires, superb frame for the price.
The parts and quality you get for this price is excellent, I spent some time looking at bikes before buying this one and can say you cannot get such parts for less.
It is good bike to start with, can do park ride, small jumps and basic trails and for just a bit over $300 beats all other competitors priced at $450+.
