Overview
The High Timber is Schwinn's entry level mountain bike, sold in youth and adult sizes with 24 to 29 inch wheels and a choice of aluminum or steel frame. It ships about 80% assembled. This listing covers the 18 inch aluminum frame with 29 inch wheels, sized for riders roughly 5'4" to 6'2".
Twist shifters and a rear derailleur handle gear changes, paired with front suspension and disc brakes, all fairly rare at this price. Owners who kept the bike for months generally rate it well for casual trail and neighborhood riding, though a handful ran into drivetrain or wheel issues that are worth checking before the first real ride.
- 18 inch aluminum frame with a steel frame option
- Alloy crank and rear derailleur drivetrain
- Wide knobby tires on alloy rims
- Quick release seat post for fast height changes
Who it's for
Casual riders and people getting back into cycling after years off will find this a comfortable, affordable trail and road bike. It is not built for aggressive downhill riding or racing.
