Amazon.com Product Description

The Mongoose Invert 20-inch boy's bike is a terrific choice for freestyle riders. The Invert is equipped with an extended-seat stay frame with oversized tubing for strength, along with an extra-tough three-piece forged steel crank. The bike's four freestyle pegs, meanwhile, help you confidently handle tricks. Finally, the bike is extra stylish thanks to the 72-spoke alloy wheels and radial spokes. Other features include sure-stopping alloy caliper brakes, an alloy four-bolt stem that clamps the handlebar securely, and a cable detangler that allows the bars to spin.

About Mongoose
In 1974, BMX Products, Inc., later to be known as Mongoose Bicycles, launched from a humble garage. The first of its kind, the BMX bicycle was named after bicycle motocross and was designed to fit the needs of the rough-and-tumble dirt-racing pastime that took its toll on wheels and bicycles. The heavy-duty, one-piece cast-aluminum Mongoose Motomag wheel was soon born, and it was the first competition-ready BMX bicycle available. Skip Hess, while in Australia pursuing his motor sports passion, came into contact with a strange and unusual cat-size animal--the mongoose. Known for its passive nature while unprovoked, yet vicious and aggressive enough to kill a threatening Cobra twice its size, the Mongoose impressed Hess, who quickly registered the Mongoose trademark for his new bicycle racing frame.

The Expert BMX bicycle model, which is still a cornerstone of the Mongoose BMX line today, was introduced in 1980. Shortly after, Mongoose captured the first ever ABA National #1 Cruiser Title. Previously known for the 20-inch bicycle, this title signaled the re-direction of Mongoose bicycles to larger-wheeled, adult-sized models. Several years later, Mongoose continues to dominate the cruiser racing circuit with six National No. 1 Cruiser titles, leading to the introduction of adult-sized Mongoose all-terrain bicycles (ATBs).

In 1992, Mongoose pioneered the full-suspension market with the introduction of the Amplifier. This design is still the most-copied suspension design in the market. Several year later, Mongoose launched the Newman adult bicycle frame, which is proven to be 15% stronger than any other bike frame in the market. The design, while functionally sound, also raised eyebrows because of its distinctive look.

In the next few years, Mongoose increased its marketing focus to dominate the bicycle industry, and more important, extend beyond it. The Mongoose brand marketing initiative makes more than 100 million impressions. Mongoose’s brand awareness increased by over 130% in 1999 and solidifies the No. 2 market share position in units and dollars. Mongoose was acquired by Pacific Cycle, LLC, and continues to grow and prosper with more than 40 models of BMX, mountain, trail, freestyle, jumping, comfort, road, and cyclocross bikes.

This review is from: Mongoose Invert Boy's Freestyle Bike (20-Inch Wheels) (Sports)

I bought my 7 year old son this bike for xmas, and I cannot wait to see him on it. One of the other kids from the neighborhood tested this bike in a parking lot for me and told me it was the smoothest and best balanced bike ever! I like the adjustable hand brakes and the full expand-ability to allow for growth spurts. Very happy with this purchase! (even thought the S&H fee's are outrageous) Recommend buy
