About Mongoose
Founded in 1974 in a Southern California garage, Mongoose has always been an innovator. From the company's initial cast-magnesium MotoMag wheels to its current crop of BMX, mountain, and pavement bikes, the Mongoose name has been synonymous with bicycle performance. Mongoose builds specifically for riders, which is why the company's BMX designers aren't wasting time watching reruns on ESPN2. Instead, they're constantly testing their new designs at the park, on the track, and on the hill. This continuous experimentation is what drives Mongoose to cook up things like the Front Porch head tube, which lets you fine-tune the handling on Black Diamond series mountain bikes, or Freedrive suspension technology, which eliminates pedal bob and provides a super-efficient full suspension. Mongoose bikes don't just push the limits; they set new ones.

5.0 out of 5 stars great entry level bike, June 8, 2008

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 $1000 bikes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good entry trail bike, August 20, 2011

After getting into singletrack riding I purchased this bike at a thrift store to replace the department store bike that started falling apart on the trails. While there are certainly better more trail specific bikes out there I can't complain much about this one. When I got this bike it had 2.1 inch tires which work great for the sand often on the trails (though not sure if it comes with these or if someone added them). Two or three inches of travel on both the front and rear shocks give it enough cushion for the two or three foot drops here in florida though I would bottom it out at any drop three feet or more. Overall a durable frame with responsive shifters and decent handling. My two problems with the bike would be the front disk brake and grips are two short. The disc brake is terribly weak but after some adjustments it can be adjusted for adequate stopping power provided you aren't riding DH or anything. Last thing is that the grips on the bars are so short you have to also put your hands on the shifters so if you hit roots or drops accidental gear shifts is easy to make. In conclusion this is a great entry level bike with a few fixable problems.

Update: Had to drop it down to four stars. Hit a jump today and the rear derailleur snapped off the frame. Still a great bike but some upgrades are needed if you plan to do more aggressive trail riding.

Awesome bike for a good price! It looks great and you would recognize your yellow bike from miles away. There is no kickstand but it is not a big deal. It takes 5 min from unpacking to complete assembly if you have an allen wrench at home. I wish an allen wrench was included since it's the only tool necessary to tighten the handle bar.
