Overview
An aluminum-frame 29er mountain bike with front suspension, 24-speed shifting and mechanical disc brakes, sized for riders roughly 5 foot 4 to 6 foot 2.
Assembly quality varies by unit here. More than one reviewer found the front fork installed backwards out of the box, causing the front wheel to hit their foot until they flipped it around, and several recommend a post-assembly shop tune-up for around 15 to 20 dollars. Reliability reports range widely, from an owner still riding after 7 years to another whose hub and rear derailleur failed within months.
- 17-inch aluminum frame with 29-inch wheels
- 24-speed trigger shifters, front and rear derailleurs
- Front and rear mechanical disc brakes
- Arrives partially assembled, tools required
Who it's for
Fits casual and trail riders within the stated height range, and one heavier rider around 6 foot 2 to 6 foot 3 also made it work. Not ideal for riders well outside that range or anyone who wants a bike that needs zero setup or maintenance out of the box.
Pros and cons
- Handles trail terrain with front suspension
- Aluminum frame keeps overall weight reasonable
- Disc brakes give confident stopping power
Performance notes
The front suspension fork and 2.25-inch knobby tires soak up bumps on trail terrain, and the double-wall alloy rims add strength without much extra weight. Trigger shifters and disc brakes generally work as intended once the bike is properly assembled and adjusted.
