The Cadillac All-Mountain Series AM2.4 24-Speed Mountain Bike is an aggressive, long travel mountain bike designed for all-day rides. It will take you to the op of the mountain efficiently, and bring you back with a smile on your face. At the foundation of this mountain bike is a custom aluminum frame that features adjustable Rock Shox suspension with four-to-six inches of frame travel. If that's not enough suspension, then the high-quality Rock Shox Reba SL fork should take care of the rest of the bumps you encounter.
The Shimano Deore rear derailleur provides smooth and accurate shifting through all 24 speeds. And when you're rolling to fast, you'll be able to stop quickly and safely thanks to the front and rear Shimano disk brakes. Additional standout features on the AM2.4 include a patented quick-adjust stem system, Truvativ crank, Vectra D2 disk wheels, alloy handlebars, pedals, seat posts and rims. Speaking of rims, this bike is loaded with attractive paired spokes so you'll look good coming down the mountain. With a combination of Rock Shox Reba fork, custom frame, and mixture of lightweight but robust components, this bicycle can handle any trail situation comfortably and efficiently.

Finding the Right Bike
To really enjoy cycling, it's important to find a bicycle that works for you. Here are some things to keep in mind when you're in the market for a new bike:
The Right Ride
In general, bikes are broken down into three major categories:
- Road and Racing Bikes--As a general rule, road and racing are built for speed and longer distances on paved surfaces. Thinner tires, lightweight 29-inch (700c) wheels and drop bars that allow for a more aerodynamic position are the norm. Most road bikes, regardless of price, offer many gears for tackling both hilly and flat terrain.
- Mountain Bikes--With their larger tires, hill-friendly gearing and upright position, mountain bikes are very popular for all types of riding, both on pavement and off. Mountain bikes that are designed specifically for rugged trail use typically feature a suspension fork. Some may have rear suspension, as well. A quick change of the tires on any mountain bike--even one that you use regularly on trails--adds to its versatility and makes it a worthy street machine.
- Comfort/Cruiser Bikes--For tooling around on bike paths, light trails, or for cruising a quiet beach-side lane, comfort/cruiser bikes are the ticket. With a super-relaxed riding position, padded seats, and limited or no gearing, these bikes are made for enjoying the scenery and having fun with the family.
The Right Price
A bike's price boils down to three essentials: frame materials, bike weight, and component quality and durability.
- Entry-level--You'll find a wide range of comfort and cruiser bikes in this category, as well as some lower-end mountain bikes and road bikes. Most will have steel frames and components that are designed to last for several years with frequent use.
- Mid-range--Bikes in this range may feature a lighter aluminum frame with mid-range components that keep performing after miles of use. If you're looking for a quality bike that is relatively lightweight and will stand up to abuse, this is the "sweet spot." Most serious commuter and touring bikes fall into this category, as do mid-range mountain bikes with a decent front suspension.
- High-end--Racers and serious enthusiasts who expect lightweight, high-performance components will want to stick to this category. For road bikes, exotic frame materials (carbon fiber, titanium) and ultra-lightweight components can add thousands to the price tag. Mountain bikes in this class often feature advanced front and rear suspension technology, as well as components designed to handle lots of rugged trail action.
The Right Size
Fit is crucial for comfort, control, and proper power and endurance on a bike. Here are some basic bike fit tips:
- Stand-over Height--To find out if a bike's overall height fits your body, measure your inseam. Next, determine how much clearance you'll need between your crotch and the top tube of the bike. For a mountain bike, you'll want three to five inches of clearance. A road bike should offer between one and two inches of clearance, while a commuter bike should have two to four inches. Compare the stand-over height for a given bike to your measurements (inseam + clearance) to determine the right bike height.
- Top Tube Length--You can measure your torso to get a good estimate of proper top tube length. First, make a fist and extend your arm. Measure from the center of your fist to the end of your collarbone (the part that intersects your shoulder). Next, measure your torso by placing a book against your crotch with the spine facing up. Measure from the spine to the bottom of your throat (the spot between your collarbones). Finally, add the two measurements (arm length + torso length), divide the number in half and subtract six inches. This is your approximate top tube length. Compare this number to a bike's posted top tube length. You can allow for about two inches longer or shorter, as most bikes can be adjusted via stem length/height and saddle fore/aft position to make fine adjustments to the fit.
- Bikes for Women--Proportionally, women tend to have a shorter torso and longer legs than men. Bike makers design women's bikes that offer a shorter top tube and many comfort/cruiser bikes built for women may also provide more stand-over clearance.
The Right Accessories
When you make a bike purchase, don't forget these crucial add-ons:
- Helmet (this is a must!)
- Seat pack
- Lock
- Hydration pack, or water bottles and bottle cages
- Spare tubes
- Portable bike pump
- Gloves

This review is from: Cadillac All Mountain Series AM2.4 Dual Suspension Mountain Bike (Sports)
I hesitated to order this bike because it is a new brand and I couldn't find any review about it. I would like to help others to make decision by writing this review. I had some worries: #1. There is no clear warranty information. #2.You don't know how it assembled and how much of the assemble work it has left for me. If it doesn't work after I got it, who can I talk to and who will fix it for me. #3 Cadillac is a brand for car; can a car company make a decent bike? #4 for full suspension mountain bike, a lot of times the problem is the rear shock. I was worry about the rear shock because it was not mentioned in the specification. After I received the bike, all my worries are gone.
First, there is a warranty information in the manual that states lifetime warranty on frame and 1 year on other components. Second, the assemble work left for me is very little, only need to put on the quick release front wheel, handle bar and pedals. Only one 5mm allen wrench is needed for tighting up the handle bar. It took about two hours for me to put them together. Please notice that installing left pedal and right pedal are different, one is lockwise and the other is counter clockwise. Third, test run shows that it is a wonderful bike. When I took a test run on a local trail, my first word is "wow". I was very impressed how good the bike handles the trail. It sticks on the trail and makes you feel very confident both on climbing and descending. Front fork is excellent, very easy to adjust the travel and there is a lock up. Fourth, the rear Shock turns out to be ok for me; It has very little bob when I climb the hill. But I am not very heavy so it may not reflect how good the shock is. It may not be the same for a person who weigh more than 200lb. Rear travel also can be adjusted by 4-5-6", but you need to rescrew the part. The looks of the bike is excellent, it catches a lot of eyes. Shift is perfect, very smooth. Brakes work fine for me. The wheels are different from the bike I had before, the spokes are paired and look unusual. I feel they are wired so I just don't look at them. But they work fine. Now, after a couple of month, they look ok to me. I think I get use to it. Bottom line: Best value for the money. Good components, excellent performance on trail. Rear shock is a little bit week and wheels look different with paired spokes.

Great Bike - Good Value for Money,
By Salah Mounir (UAE) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cadillac All Mountain Series AM2.4 Dual Suspension Mountain Bike (Sports)
First let me start by saying that I've spent days browsing bikes, going to bike stores, visiting bike rating websites, and at the end decided to buy this one. So, it was somehow an informed decision. However, i had my worries about this bike. First, there is only one review. I found this review in almost all sites reviewing this bike; so, I became suspecious. But, when I knew that the bike is made by Kent for Cadillac, I searched for the Kent model and found good reviews about it. Plus Amazon had it on sale ($530!), so it was the best choice for me. now about the bike.....GREAT! Overall, good performance on raod and off. the Rock shox suspension performes well, I'm not that heavy guy, but the suspension handles pumpy terrains with the least rebound to my body. the looks of the bike are good, not that great, and i agree with the other review, the tires look and sound odd; but, you will get used to it. you'll have to change the saddle; it's torture, really! Also, the pedals are cheap. Cadillac shouldn't place such pedals on a, currently, $900 bike. One of them had a damaged thread, so I had to replace them as well, shimano is your best option. the brakes perform great as well as the tires quick releases and the speed shifters.
In spite of the cons I think I made the right choice. Btw, packaging is great; I had it shipped to the UAE, on the other side of the world, and it arrived scratchless. 2115|R2SZNP680L5L0Z;2115|R9K9CIA1UR6I7;
