## Description

Founded in 1895, Schwinn is an American icon, building some of the best known and best loved bicycles of all time. From its very beginning in Chicago, Illinois, the Schwinn mission has been to develop bicycles that allow people to experience the confidence and freedom that comes from riding a bike. The Schwinn Bonafied Mountain Bike features an aluminum mountain frame and a powerful Schwinn suspension fork that soaks up bumps and thumps to provide you with a fun, durable riding experience. 24 speed Shimano EZ Fire trigger shifters and front and rear Shimano derailleurs make gear changes easy and smooth. Front and rear mechanical disc brakes provide crisp all condition stopping out on the trail. Durable Schwinn alloy cranks provide steady gearing and less pesky maintenance. High profile double wall alloy rims are light and strong for added durability. 2.25 inch wide knobby mountain tires are ready for bumpy terrain. This bike ships ready to be assembled. The wheels measure 29 inches.

Review: Very nice bike, very nice customer service - The bike looks great. Black and orange colors are very very cool, looks mean. 29" wheels are huge but very light weight. Took some time to figure out the disc brakes but once I figured out how it works, I was able to reseat (wasn't mounted correctly when arrived) and adjusted the power and now very assuring braking power. Seat hurt a lot so bought a new seat at desertcart. Bike is very fast at downhill. Worked nice on snow covered uphill but wished for one more low gear. Now I know why 27 speed is better than 24 speed. Even the frame is only 17" medium, it is big. I'm 6'. With 29" tires, even 17" frame feels like a very big bike. Very tall. Broke the chain after 4-5 uses on about 10 mile trail. Called the customer service (very very nice service by Sidney), short waiting, and new chain is on the way, covered by warranty. Can't wait to go out again because this bike is so good. Bought it from desertcart just before the price increased by about 10% so very happy. 2 months delivery at the time of order but was delivered in 3 week.
Review: Bike review after two month - It's a great bike for the price if you track the price over time. The price fluctuates quite a bit and I was fortunate to pull the trigger when it dropped to $530. At this price point, I don't think you can find anything similar feature and quality-wise. Positives: 1. Bike is shipped primarily pre-assembled, so the remaining assembly takes around 30 minutes. The manual is somewhat useless and confusing as it walks you through the assembly process from the scratch. Rather than wasting your time reading it, watch a few short YouTube videos if anything isn't clear 2. It's a good quality bike that will gracefully handle some beating. Shimano EZ shifters are great at changing your gears rapidly and precise to help you tackle different types of terrain, mechanical breaks are excellent, 29' wheels let you build some serious speed and the aluminum frame feels light enough 3. Lastly, the paint job is sharp. Perhaps, it's one of the better looking bikes I owned Some negatives: 1. Front suspension is fine but cannot be adjusted. 2. Optical gear display shifter shows a red line indicating your gear position. The only numbered gears are "1" and "8", leaving you to guess the gear you're on if you ride on middle gears. I find it annoying that they didn't bother with a bit more descriptive indicator. 3. As mentioned in some other reviews, the seat is NOT comfortable. It's ok for a casual ride but gets really uncomfortable during more serious and longer trips. Do consider upgrading your seat at some point. 4. Derailleurs needed some adjustments and brakes too as they were rubbing disks. Not sure if it really counts as negative as some adjustments are expected, but it can take time to figure them out. You may want to take it to the bike shop to save some hassle Other observations: Some people complain about pedals coming off. By looking at their photos I am guessing that they put pedals wrong. Make sure to watch a pedal assembly video before you start if you never had to do it before. It is not as straightforward as it seems. Foot rubbing front tire at slow speeds l if pedals are parallel to the ground. It never happened on my old 26'er but apparently not something unusual for a close-coupled frame bike like this one. it's called 'toe overlap' and becomes a non-issue as you get used to avoiding it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excelente valor por el precio
*by D***N on 14 January 2020*

Mi hijo está feliz. Viene de una Giant r26, y no tiene ninguna queja. Es ligera, los cambios son rápidos, está cómodo con el tamaño (mide 1.73m) y puede seguir creciendo sin necesitar una nueva. Le gustó mucho la respuesta de la suspensión. Al ensamblarla, hay que tener cuidado con dejar las ruedas bien alineadas. Me tomó un poco de tiempo entender el armado del manubrio, pero en general, el proceso fue razonablemetne simple.
