Become a weekend warrior with the rugged Thruster 29er Mountain Bike. The larger, 29-inch wheels provide greater surface area over any terrain for improved traction than a standard 26-inch wheel provides. Additionally, the increased wheel diameter gives the rider more confidence by allowing him to navigate technical, rocky trails with less perceived effort. The Thruster 29er mountain bike starts off with a high-quality, handcrafted, lightweight 6061 aluminum frame. SRAM X-4 shifters and derailleurs provide lightning fast and accurate shifting through all 24 speeds. Truvativ cranks make sure that each pedal stroke is efficiently transmitted directly to the rear wheel. Promax front and rear disc brakes ensure that you stop on a dime. On the trails, you'll immediately notice the zero flex provided by the oversized 31.8-inch alloy handlebar and stem--ideal for tricky single track. For traction on a variety of terrain, Kenda Nevegal tires will keep you hooked up on any trail you tackle. The Thruster 29er is finished an attractive green that will turn heads wherever you ride.

i bought this bike because i wanted to try out the larger 29 inch wheels without spending a fortune. the price was right. out of the box the bike requires a bit of assembly but it's not too bad. i was really surprised at the high quality of the frame. the frame drop outs look like belonged on a bike costing a lot more. the components are okay, i'll probably upgrade the fork. the ride is what impressed me most. i can see how the larger wheels help you go over bumps and rocks easier. i'm really happy with this bike and will probably upgrade components as needed. highly recommended for the price.

I purchased this bike after looking at various inexpensive mountain bikes and expensive ones as well; couldn't find a happy medium until now! I've owned High End BMX Race Bikes and nice Mtn. Bikes before but must say for the money this BAD DOG is a GREAT DEAL! I also was an Asst. Manager for a local bike shop and know bikes pretty well along with components. Needless to say thats why I chose this bike. Most 29ers are very pricy and the majority are single speed. So for the money I got a WHOLE LOT of bang for my buck! For entry-inter rider this is a dream and is geared making it even better! Rolls very quickly, Shifts well, and brakes don't rub for being inexpensive promax discs. My overall impression with this bike is it is worth every penny. Shoot for what I paid if something breaks I can afford to replace the parts and if it doesn't break but instead wears out I can always upgrade the parts and customize it to my specs. Welds on the frame are bomber an well done, components are SRAM and decent, the ONLY complaint I have is "cosmetic" and that is whoever did the stickers on the wheels must of been having a tough day because they were a bit beat but like I said it's cosmetic and will eventually come off or be shredded from riding anyways. I'm 5' 8" and approximately 175 lbs. and own the 16" version of this bike it's just right and runs on the larger size my spouse who is 6"2" fits perfect. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this bike to someone looking to get into 29ers on a budget or riding in general. AWESOME DEAL!!!

Bike bought for Xmas present for son. Rode bike hard and often. Frame warped after a cupple o months. Liked the bike, 29 inch tires are lots of fun (yeah, I rode it too). Bike shop mentioned this was typical of low end bike frames, especially mountain bikes. So if you ride hard and often, spend a bit more for quality. This bike is not quality.
