Review: Great Ride! - Out of the box, the front fork was badly bent. I called vender customer service. They were easy to get along with and very knowledgable. The bike was replaced within a week. I have 120 miles on it now and I love this ride. Its a little heavy but very stable smooth ride with the mono-shock. Its a great road bike as well as a tuff stable trail/mountian bike. So far, so good.
Review: Bad welding. Bent dropouts/caliper. Cannot be assembled. Terrible quality! - This is horrible! Technically an inexpensive bike. However at $546.95 after shipping the bike arrived in a condition that it cannot be remotely assembled. The front forks have ears on them for the dropouts that are welded crooked and misaligned. Not crooked or misaligned but literally crooked AND misaligned. The brake caliper is also welded on and guess what its also crooked. There is no possible way to install the front axle into the dropouts and the caliper with the wheel anywhere near straight. In fact the wheel rubs the forks. Ive assembled a lot of mountain bikes and even in the cheapest brands I have never seen this poor of quality control. Next the rest of the components are bottom tier. The cheapest huffy at Walmart has better components. These tires, controls, grips, seat, even the reflectors that come with it are absolutely trash! Came packaged in the worst way possible with the manual ripped up. Probably returned by another customer and packed back up and sent to me. Not that the manual is of any help as it is just generic assembly for multiple bikes and none of it applies to this version well. Not to mention half the components are already assembled and you cannot follow the instructions in order. They are also assembled poorly. After reading other reviews it seems I will probably have to pay for the return shipping. I was looking forward to this bike as a step up from Schwinn in this price range but even the new generation Chinese Schwinns are 10 times as good as this piece of junk. Update* cooled off and decided to tweak it enough to make it work. Have it assembled and sort of ridable but it's pretty junky. There's really not a straight line on this bike. Turned out the biggest hurdle was that brace between the front shocks. It was welded on so crooked nothing else would align. Also had to disassemble a lot of what came assembled because it was put together wrong from the factory.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's a decent bike
*by A***R on March 2, 2025*

I bought this used on Amazon. It seems to be a good value for a low end bike, but at under $400, I would usually choose something without rear suspension. The fork was twisted to the side, which was probably why it was returned the first time. It could only be assembled after twisting it straight with clamps and vice grips. I didn't need to true the wheels or adjust breaks or derailluers so I found the assembly and setup to be reasonably easy. Mongoose bikes at most price points seem at least as good as other brands to me although cycling enthusiasts will be critical and resale value probably isn't as good as a more more respected brand or Co-op bike you might buy for a couple hundred more.
