Pacific Evolution Men’s Mountain Bike (26-Inch Wheels) Reviews By Customers
I believe you get what you paid for, and this bike is an excellent ride for what you pay. It is made by the same company that makes Shwinn. It is a very heavy bike, but serves my purpose as a starter bike very well.
Horrible to assemble – D. Seskey – Pittsburgh, PA
The bike itself looks nice, have yet to ride it though seeings as it cannot be put together as easily.
I bought my whole family bikes and I put 3 bikes together in under an hour, this one I have yet to finish. I got it yesterday and the instructions are terribly written and they say “Screw this in with this” and yet I do not have the part for my model since they have 4-6 models in one book. On top of this it says the tools you need, but for the handle bar I need a part that says “…it may use a 2mm, 4mm or 8mm Alen Key, but note it may also use a 13mm hex bolt”. I have the 13mm. That is nice, but seeings as it said I didn’t need the tool then why do they expect me to have it?
Since I have not ridden it yet, I give it a two because of the instructions alone, not to mention it is packed rather badly and I have been cut trying to pull it out.
Excellent value for the money-great bike – Jerome Christopher –
This is a great bike. I bought it from Kmart on sale and started to ride rightaway.
Excellent!

The Pacific Evolution women’s 26-in front-suspension mountain bike is built around an MTB steel frame with a Vortex suspension fork to smooth out your ride. It’s equipped with twist shifters and 18 speeds.
I just got this bike yesterday, and overall it was easy to assemble, though the allen wrench required wasn’t included in the shipping contents as they usually are. Luckily, I had one that fit from another item I had purchased in the past. When I got to the handle bars after getting the rest of it together, I realized that I was also missing a few nuts and washers that helped lock it in the proper place to make steering the bike possible. Kind of an important detail, don’t you think? Hopefully I will be able to find what I need at a hardware store or bike shop. It is a beautiful bike, but the seat is pretty hard as the last reviewer mentioned, so I would definitely recommend getting a gel seat. I was just disappointed to see that something so important to the assembly was missing. Can’t get a better deal than I did on this bike though. I would still recommend it to others.
Great bike! – L. Cogswell – Eastern Washington
My mom bought me this bike for a college graduation present and I really love it. I do a lot of off road/trail/mountian biking as well as just riding in town, and it has great traction and is an overall comfortable ride. The only thing I didn’t like was that the seat was extremely hard, but I easily fixed that with a new gel one. Now it feels great. The instructions on assembling it were a little confusing but my dad is great with things like that so I had no problem there. Overall it is a great bike and I would recommend this bike to anyone.

WORST.BIKE.EVER!!! =( – Brandon P. Field –
Buy any other bike you can get your hands on, don’t even buy it for .00! Here’s why: I bought this bike as a temporary bike while my other one was getting repairs, a “beater bike” as you will. I just rode it casually and carefully. The pedals both each broke in less than 3 days, super cheap plastic so I had to replace that. I weigh under 180 LBS. so weight was not an issue on that but quality was. The brakes both broke in under 2 weeks, both the handles and wires snapped so now the bike cannot stop with anything else besides your feet, this caused me to almost get hit sideways by a speeding van due to NOT BEING ABLE SO STOP. Safe to say this bike almost got me killed. The gears shift up and down on the road and the pedals and chain slip when you apply pressure at high speeds. If you want my bike you can have it, it’s sitting at the bottom of the lake in my area=)
Not worth the money. – Scooter1968 – Palm Springs, CA
This bike wasn’t even worth the 9 that I paid for it. The rims are so cheap that the spokes keep popping the tube, even with the cover placed over the spokes before the tube is inserted. The spokes should not be so sharp that they puncture the tubes inside the tire – several times. Not to mention the fact that the gears, brakes and other factors related to the rims (the spokes need to be adjusted or “shimmed” so that the rim is properly aligned = tire will roll smoothly instead of off-balance) are not even worth having a bike shop adjust them. It would cost more to overhaul & adjust everything on this bike in order to get it running AT ALL than it would cost to buy an entirely new bike of better quality. CHEAP isn’t even a “tag” that this bike deserves. It deserves a tag of “buy another bike”.
