I LOVE this bicycle. It's lightweight, very well put together, easy to assemble, great graphics and all with a LOW price! I highly recommend this bike.

Technically, this bike might be OK: It's relatively robust, it has Shimano dérailleur and, as you might assume, it has some of Polaris' brand name. Only that the latter, the Polaris affiliation, does not apply. You'll see a lot of Polaris stickers on the bike, but the manufacturer, as described on the box, is some Chinese company. Overall, the quality level is really not satisfying. I'd say, "Spend more and get something that offers better quality." On the other side, if you're a beginner searching for a weekender bike, this is a very good and cost-effective bike.

Very aggravated with this bike. First, I will never even ride it because I can't get assembled correctly but secondly I don't know if I even would because other than Shimano shifters and derailers, everything else on this bike is pure crap. I have 2 problems with assembly and there is only like 4 parts to assemble. 2 of those are pedals! (Which those went on fine). Instructions say to flip bike over and drop front wheel into fork. Well you can't do that because the brakes are so tightly installed there is no way to clear the tire through the brake pads so you have to take off one of the brake pads to get the wheel into the fork groove. Now install the quick release lever. Wait a minute. If I have to remove a brake pad every time I need to remove the tire what is the sense in a quick release lever? Not to worry. Even that doesn't install correctly. If you tighten it down, the wheel won't spin. If you loosen it up the quick release lever folds in too far and will hit the spokes. I could not locate a middle ground and frankly would like to know that my front tire is securely in place before riding. This did not make me comfortable at all. So, I figure I'm willing to see if I'm doing something wrong and I go to their website which prides themselves in their 24/7 support so I call them and all of their call centers are closed. Hmmm. ok. Let's move on. I notice the right side of the bake brakes is rubbing the tire so I decide to try and adjust that. Hmmm well can't do it. There is one bolt on each side of the frame that holds the brake shoes. Other than sliding the brake pad up and down or loosening the tensioner, you can't adjust the distance from the brake pad to the tire rim. I'm done. Taking it back tomorrow and getting the made in America Schwinn which I should have in the first place. Oh and if you do go ahead with this bike, add in an extra seat. The one that comes with this bike is as hard as 2x4. Just another example of a company using it's name to sticker on an outsourced product to exploit some additional revenue. Shame on you Polaris.

this bike is sooooo good! it didnt come in red/black like i wanted but it still looks sick with the blue/white color to it. the suspension is great when going over huge rocks and going down steep hills. its a very silent bike and the shimano tourney gearing system is so easy and looks awesome on the bike. everyday i wake up and want to go back out and ride it!
