Amazon.com Product Description
Blend into the woods and improve your chances of getting in close range of game with the Pacific Outdoors Game Stalker Mountain Bike. This high-performance mountain bike has a sturdy aluminum frame that has been dipped and coated in Break-Up camouflage from Mossy Oak, so that the hunt won't be compromised by the usual shiny, metallic bicycle colors that stand out in the woods. For additional subtle camouflage, the bicycle's wheel rims and spokes are powder coated in matte black, eliminating reflective and startling flashes of light that will scare animals.
The Game Stalker is designed to get you to hard to access hard-to-reach areas smoothly, quietly, and in optimum comfort. The welded aluminum frame is strong and lightweight while the SR Suntour M2000 suspension fork will absorb the bumps in the trail and help you maneuver the bike safely. With a Shimano 21-speed drivetrain and easy-to-use SRAM grip shifters, you will be able to adjust the bike on steep grades and over uneven terrains. ProMax alloy linear pull brakes offer optimum control and sensitivity for stopping power.

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 ultralightweight 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 bottle and bottle cage
- Spare tubes
- Portable bike pump
- Gloves

Great Bike, Fantastic Price,

This review is from: Pacific Outdoor Wilderness Series Trail Tamer Mountain Bike (20-Inch Wheels) (Sports)
I bought this bike via Amazon.com for my son's 8th birthday. I was a little apprehensive not having seen the brand, but I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived. It was packaged well and was assembled in about 20 minutes. The derailleur was perfectly calibrated and the brakes required only minor adjustment.
My son absolutely loves this ride. He can finally keep up with the rest of the family on the flats and gear-down when he gets to the hills. No need to push his bike on most inclines. The twist-shifter is a bit stiff for him, but I suspect that it'll loosen as it wears. The quality of the components is on-par with cycles costing double and it weighs MUCH less than his old single-speed, no suspension bike. It also gives him plenty of room to grow into. I expect several years of use before he needs a replacement. Great buy at $168 and free shipping

I bought this for my 8yr old daughter last x-mas. This is made the way all bikes should be. Top quality frame and parts, at a good price. Just try to find another anywhere else of the same components for this price...good luck. It was also shipped by Fed-Ex. Fed-Ex is the only way to ship. If it would have been shipped by UPS, it would have never made it in one piece.
