Amazon.com Product Description
Equipped with a smooth-riding front-suspension fork, the Mongoose Montana women's mountain bike is a great choice for both trail and street riding. The bike features a handcrafted, high-tensile-strength aluminum frame that holds up durably to rough handling. The index 21-speed SRAM MRX shifters, meanwhile, provide plenty of control whether you're on flat or hilly terrain. Finally, the bike's extra-wide 1.95-inch tires roll smoothly over pavement, grass, or dirt. Other features include front and rear linear pull brakes, an adjustable quick-release seat, a three-piece ATB crank, 26-inch wheels with alloy frames, and a rust-resistant powder coating. The Montana carries a one-year warranty.

I purchased this bike for my wife's birthday last year so we could ride together. She's a very small, tiny-boned woman of five-feet tall. We went from shop to shop and tried many different bikes, some very expensive, others ridiculously inexpensive. This bike really stood out amongst the others because of fit, features, and value.
A few comments based on our experience.
First, you get what you pay for. If you're looking for a bike you can beat on and ride excessively, you might want to look for a higher-quality, more expensive brand. This is a very good bike for the casual rider. When assembled properly, it rides very well on or off the road and is very comfortable for long periods of time. If you're a more serious rider, you'll probably want to upgrade the brakes or gears or look towards a different bike altogether. While the brakes and gears work fine, they aren't the highest quality. Also, the bike is a tad heavy, but for the price, it's fine.
Second, if you have no experience assembling bikes, or if you've only assembled a bike a few times, plunk down $25 to $40 and have a professional assemble it properly. There are alignment issues that can make or break a successful and enjoyable final assembly. I think a lot of the comments from others about wobbly wheels and sticky brakes are probably because attention wasn't paid towards proper assembly and alignment. We had our bike professionally assembled and it's been just fine! No wobbly wheels and no sticky brakes.
There's nothing wrong with this bike in its class. It's not designed to be the top of its class, but when looked at in terms of value, it's a fine bike that should last for many years, if properly maintained.
We're happy with the purchase for different reasons. For her, she's happy to have a bike. For me, it's nice to have my best gal by my side once again! :-)

Color Name:Silver/Light Blue|Size Name:26-Inch Wheels
Was looking for an inexpensive bike to do some cardio and get in shape, so I selected the Mongoose Montana. I haven't rode a bike in about 10 years so I figured that this would be a great starter bike. The bike came fairly quick and after having it adjusted at the bike shop, I was riding in no time. I take the bike out almost every other morning and haven't had a problem yet. I even ride off trail in a neighborhood park and find the ride to be great. The breaks tend to be a little tight but that's an assembly issue. Overall, this is a great bike for the price.

I have had this bike for about a month now and ride it every day, mostly in town. It's nothing fancy. I bought it (not from Amazon) fully assembled, but had to tweak the brakes. I really don't know much about bikes and had not had one in 15 years. The bike is really nothing too fancy. The frame is a little more compact and I also experienced the problem with the tire hitting my foot on sharp turns. I thought I just had big feet. It isn't too much of a problem. I like my little bike.

Bike
well, lets keep it short.
For this money it does the job.
Just don't do to much off road
as the bike is not build as strong as one of those expencive mountain bikes.

WASTE OF MONEY
Bought this bike for my wife.. You get what you pay for I guess, because this thing is junk. Every pre-assembled piece had to be taken apart and re-installed correctly. Read more

Uncomfortable
The bike comes with the hardest seat I have ever sat on! Also, the way the seat is so far above the handle bars, or it seems that way, makes my wrists hurt.
