go easy on it – Hesston L. Johnson – Springfield, Missouri, USA
This bike I have owned for a couple months…it has been on 3 mountain bike trails at around 10 miles each, all rough; and many miles on city streets, city trails, and country roads…

I bought this bike because I was interested in mountain biking and did not want to buy a total piece o’ dookie to ride on from Wal-Mart or something (aside from being an anti-Wal-Mart person) and got this…

Turns out, I really enjoy mountain biking. The bike held up well on streets, country roads and EASY-PEESY trails…if you are jumping roots, logs, going through mudd (especially mud), creek beds, water, etc, this is not the bike for you…The rear derailluers slip easy and the bike does not change gears very well. At this time I can only use gears: 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 11, and 13 out of 21. The entire 3rd gear set does not work because the front derailluer is crap. I spent 2 hours working on it the other day and had a bike guy look at it, it’s fubar. I was not aware of this until riding through town with a “speedy” biker. The guy has a Trek street bike, so we got up to about 20 mph quickly. When I tried to go into gear 15 through 21, SNAP! and I almost fell off because the bike locked up from being able to change those gears…

The seat is very uncomfortable. The bike is fairly light, which is good for trails when you have to carry in and out your lunch and water… The front shocks work well…

I finally snapped and decided to get a different bike and bought a Trek yesterday…looking forward to it getting here. Took this on a trail today, other than the caked on mud, slipping gears (from all the mud) and still missing several gears, it does what it needs to do.

Happy Trailing!

Nice bike for a kid but disappointing – Elizabeth Tidmore – Byram, MS United States
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 9. 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 9. 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… – Darian P. Dickerson –
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 – D. Pickar – St. Cloud, Minnesota
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.

Now onto the cons. One of the first things I noticed after riding is that my inner seat bones would get sore if I rode the bike for more than two days consecutively. Eventually, I had to replace the seat with something more comfortable. It’s something any male bicyclist should do anyway because the stock seat (and many others with similar design) can cause impotence after long-term use. Secondly, the bike is on the heavier side weighing 38 lbs stock. There’s not much to be done about this because the frame is naturally heavy. You can replace the tires and/or wheels, the seat, the handlebars, the pedals, and switch the disk brakes to rim brakes; but if you’re going to do all that, you should probably get a more expensive bike that weighs less in the beginning.

Overall, I’m very satisfied with my purchase because I know that it’s going to last me a long time. For the amount of money that it costed, if it does get stolen I can’t get too upset. When I get tired of the weight of this bike (or if it gets stolen before then), I’ll look into getting a more expensive, lighter bike.

Great Bike for the Money – Sean W. Smith – Silicon Valley, CA
A Little complicated to assemble. derailer was bent during shipping. took it to the local bike shop and they did assembly and dialed it in no time…. Add to the cost to get someone to assemble it and dial it in if your not a bike expert.

Other than that. great bike for the money…. very happy….

Not as good as you think – J. Han – USA
If you looking for real MTB, try the others. It just a bike with cheap parts and also this bike will let you waste more strength to paddle and creat a lots of metal noise. Not worthy to spend 9 on this one. Piece of junk.

The panzer of bikes – Roberto Bascunan – Coral Gables, FL USA
It’s amazing how a light weight bike (And a low prize bike) can hold my 205lbs, in my 2 hours daily workout around Granada golf course in Coral Gables. Definitely a must buy.
