User Reviews
After reading tons of reviews on many different bikes I bought this one because of the price and the suspension. I'm currently stationed in Afghanistan and needed a mountain bike with good suspension that could be considered "disposable" after a year or so. I've been using this bike for about a week now and I have to say it handles the terrain pretty well. I ride it on rocks, hard dirt, sand, soft dirt, and some paved road. I'll be using it on snow here in a few months. A lot of people say they didn't get instructions with their bike, but I did. I didn't need them though, the assembly was very easy. None of the parts were damaged or defective in any way. Suspension works very well after adjusting and makes for a good ride.
I have just a few negative comments. They are all stated in other reviews and were expected. The seat could be a little softer. After a week or riding it 5+ miles a day I got to say I'm a little sore. The grips are very rough on your hands. I have to use my gym gloves when I'm riding or else my hands get raw. Some of the gears shift a little ruff, but do shift. I will be purchasing a softer seat and some smoother grips. I'm fairly happy with this bike for what I paid for it. -- Great bike for Afghanistan
My son bought this & he said the bike is a lot of fun & a smooth ride. He loves the suspension and the brakes; which is why he purchased the bike.He would definitely recommend this bike. -- great bike!
This bike could be a 5 star bargan exept for one flaw. Similar to other reviewers, the front derailleur does not work properly right out of the box. It does not require any assembly so it is not that people are putting it together wrong, it just does not work correctly. In my case it has a hard time shifting to the midde sprocket and when it does, the derailleur cage rubs the sprocket teeth (which seems dangerous!!!). I've been trying to adjust it but I think this is over my level of expertise and I plan to take it to a bike shop My guess is it will cost $60-$100 to have it tuned properly so you have to add that cost in when considering this bike! It is really a bike in the $330 to $370 range when you add that in. I hope it is not just a defective derailleur they are putting on these. It sucks to get something and have to put it in the shop right away.
As other reviewers noted, it does not come with any assembly instructions however I found it rather easy to put together. I had to look at the pics on amazon to see where to put the reflectors and how to make sure the cables ran around the handlebars correctly and things like that.
Other than that, I am very pleased with this as an entry level mountain bike.
-- Great bike for the money except you will need professional tuning to ride it
I just got this bike the other day and have been very impressed with everything about it. Keep in mind this is a $250 bike not a $1000 bike that you would buy at a local bike shop. With that said, I'm not sure why anyone would be disappointed in this bike. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to put this together as others here suggest. I will agree that the bike did not come with any assembly instructions. However, a monkey could put this thing together. All you are doing is cutting the straps that hold all the parts together, putting the front wheel on the bike, installing the seat and the handlebars and securing the front brake line to the brake lever, installing the pedals and inflating the tires. That's it. If you have ever seen a bike, you will know where things go. I had it all together in about 20 mins. I found the rear derailer was perfectly adjusted. The front derailer needed a very minor adjustment. All in all this bike is built well, looks great and rides very well. You aren't going to find a 26" full suspension mountain bike with dual disk brakes and both wheels with the quick detach feature and an aluminum frame for a better price.
By the way, it did arrive in two days with the Amazon Prime service. -- Great bike for a great price
Cheap parts ,some rough finish parts, poor quality manual no real guide to asemble the bike, no technical support at all, I end up returning the bike, the front shifter never worked properly, I had to accept 85% of the value due to amazon regulation.:( -- Over priced for. The quality
