Mongoose 26 Inch Men’s Status BikeWith it’s down hill aluminum suspension frame, the Status Bike is sure to please the adventure seeker in your family. This bike features from and rear promax disc brakes, MTB 31.8 rise bars with ahead stem, 24-speed shimano with EZ Fire Shifters, integrated shimano levers, SR Suntour alloy forged 3-piece crankset, ARROW black anodized alloy rims and hbs, and QR seat post.
This bike was the only one that had everything I wanted (dual suspension, dual disk brakes, Shimano EZ shifters) and was under 0.00. I looked at other review, and people were comparing it with 00’s bikes… That’s not even close to fair.
Anyway, if you want a bike that has really good parts, a good setup, and cheap, this is your bike. So far, I put a few miles on it and it is really awesome. Suspension, brakes, tires, weight, everything is better than I expected based on the price. A good exercise: compare it with those 0-0 bikes you see at Sports stores and you’ll realize how better this bike is.
Only one con: despite the easy assembly, the front derailer came totally out of alignment. I worked it a bit (I’m no expert), but I will probably spend some $ in servicing it.
2nd review (06/01/09): there’s a slight change from the bike you see in the picture and the one I received. The holes in the frame where is installed the bottle support face down. This is a problem, since once you have it with a bottle and the front suspension goes down a 1 inch the front tire hits the bottle. Not the end of the world, but I would change my review to 4 1/2 starts if possible.

Mongoose Exile Dual-Suspension Mountain Bike
I purchased this bike for two hundred American at a sports specialty retailer, Sports Authority. For the relative low price, I got what I paid for. The bike was heavy at 43 lbs. The dual suspension was a very nice feature during downhill terrains and ramps. The mid section suspension also attempts to be adjustable to accommodate road and rough terrains. I got into a new sport with this bike and was able to learn very fast how equipment can cost more than a motorized version.
I took a spill a couple of months back that set my wallet back a few bucks. The rear rim had to be replaced along with two tire tubes, the rear derailleur, cable housing and cable, and a couple months of back recovery (totaling ). I also purchased a pair of universal debris fenders for muddy downhill rides and rainy cross-country field trips.
There are a few upgrades that I would recommend for this product. (1) A Kevlar tube liner to protect the tire tube from being punctured by any thorns or nails (). (2) Debris fenders for the front and rear tires if applicable (muddy terrain) (). And most important of all, a helmet for off-road and long distance cycling.

Mongoose Tech 4 Men’s Dual-Suspension Mountain Bike (26-Inch Wheels) Reviews By Customers
Got this bike primarily for my commute to work. Yes, even though a mountain bike isn’t the most efficient bike for the roads, I wanted something that I could get a little rough with. So far I’m not disappointed at all. The gears did need a little tweaking but after that it’s been smooth sailing. The Shimano derailleurs are nice, the dual suspension is terrific (my first bike with any suspension). With probably a few upgrades to components this could be a hardcore bike. For this price it definately competes with 00 bikes. Check Special Price!
Mongoose Tech 4 26″ Mountain Bike – Arthur R. Wood – Phoenix, AZ, USA
Product was delivered promptly as expected. Assembly was easy. Features of product met my expectations. Gear set needed adjustment … which was challenging. Was persuaded to buy color (yellow) matching athletic shoes from Amazon. Color matching bike gloves are next! Price was FAIR and equitable.

Minimal assembly required – Customer – United States
I am pleased with this product. It is not a high end Mountain bicycle but as an intermediate model it fits the needs of a casual rider. I found the seat too narrow and order a wider one. Parts can fall off the shifter levers if not used correctly.

E303 Dual Suspension Mountain Bike – Martin Kmak – Steamboat Springs, CO United States
for 0 I expected more than Walmart bike. You get what you pay for. Bike was assembled in 30 minutes by myself, nothing too hard if you have all tools needed. Derailleurs will need bike tech adjustements, setting screws were too short in my case. Front shock looks cheap and feels cheap, but still does the work. After about 50 miles in dust Colorado conditions bike was reset and retuned again and still works 
I ride it daily for 20 – 40 miles a day …
Not The Mongooe I know – David Burry – Port Saint Lucie, FL United States
E303 Mongoose. I bought the bike and I bought because the name is well known. I took the bike off road and had to replace pedals after second ride. the front shocks rusted quickly, therear suspension black brackets are now offset and to finnish the bike totally, the seat stem sleave on the frame has snapped.. Bike is finnishd and I am 0 out of pocket. I dont treat my bike hard, but I do use it regularly.
I have tried to find a replacement frame but it looks like I am going to have to look for another manufacturer
