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.

Watch the Wheels  
Over all great bike, it has a great feel, its lightweight, and has a good, smooth ride. The only think is that i had the bike for about a week and turned the front wheel into an S. I don blame the bike though, I highly doubt that this bike was ment to withstand the terrain in Iraq. So i wouldn let this review deter you from moderately rough terrain. :2012-02-11 11:12:04

Good overall Bike  
I decided to review this bike since I saw little to no reviews for it. I got this bike a few days ago, and so far I am very pleased. Easy assembly, due to the fact that it comes partly assembled. If you are not too apt for putting things together, this may be a problem. When I first rode the bike, it was a great ride. For me, it was smooth and easy all the way through. I read somewhere that this bike is heavy, and I will have to admit that it is pretty heavy. Its not something that should stop you from buying it, unless you have a problem lifting it when necessary. I guess the only problems if you want to call them that with this bike are the sounds it makes. The suspension makes a creaking sound, doesn bother me at all. Also, the breaks make a sound when I use them but I am sure I can fix that. So overall, this is a good bike, and I recommend it to anyone who is interested. I do not think you will be disappointed. :2012-02-11 11:11:47

Strong and 35 lbs  
It came partially assembled. I had to put on the front wheel and the handle bar. I needed one box wrench and one allen wrench. The seat has a quick release lever and the pedals just screw on. The tires can handle 60 lbs. I put 55 lbs. in each tire. Be sure to position the tire so that the valve stem is directly under the valve stem opening on the rim before inflation to keep from stressing it. I road on a ruff wilderness trail for three hours without any mechanical problems. It weighs 35 lbs. total :2012-02-11 11:11:33

Bang For The Buck  
Sure this bike probably can compare to the more expensive bikes you get at the local bike store...HOWEVER, if your main use for this bike is commute, or the only surfaces you bike are on paved bike paths, trails with no more than 1-foot drops, then this bike will do the job to satisfaction. I am only getting into biking after many years of driving cars, so Im still not 100% sure if Im going to fall in love with this sport. Once I decide that I am really into this sport, and start going into the woods or mountains where Ill be taking 5-foot drops, I will definitely get a $1000+ bike. But I digress. This bike feels very solid, and so far I have had no mechanical problems whatsoever and I ride it about 45 miles a week on the street and bumpy trails. Luckily, one of my engineering design projects in school have been on human-powered vehicles, giving me a chance to learn about the mechanics of bicycle components; so I am decent at tuning bikes, so that may attribute to why my bikes have had no problems like a loose handle bar. Don let the snobby mountain bikers, who worships their local bike shops and only buy $2000 bikes, steer you away from buying this bike. Use this bike to decide whether or not you really enjoy this sport, in the end youll be much happier! :2012-02-11 11:11:21

Bike shouldn't be rated base on shopping experience  
I hate it when people give products a bad rating because the store that they bought the item from sucked. I have the 2007 version of this bike, and I have been riding it 10-15 miles everyday without any problems. It is a bit heavy, but hardly noticeable when riding. It maneuvers very easily, and it goes through the gears very smoothly. The build feels very solid, and I think they are made out of very good parts. I don take this bike on mountains, and I don advise you to. This bike is a very good bike for paved roads and trails. If the handlebars are loose...it probably means you didn tighten it down enough yourself. : 2012-02-11 11:10:58

2 ordered each have same issues with nicks scrapes & labels  
We have not had a chance to ride these bikes yet but I was very aggravated when taking them out of the box for final assembly. I ordered & received 2 at the same time. They stayed in their boxes until Christmas Eve when I assembled them around 2am. Both bikes have numerous scratches deep nicks & 1 spot of extreme & deep scrapes (2 inches by 1 inch & at the exact same spot on each bike). Many of these are down to bare metal. It appears that the factory assembly & packaging process does not handle the bikes delicately. They will have to supply me with 2 types of paint for me to keep these bikes - 1 for the 1st coat of glossy paint 1 for the matte finish on top of the glossy coat.

Also the decals on each bike were put on sloppily each with many bubbles including some 1 to 2 inches long making it impossible to simply press the bubbles out.

The bikes feel & look solid. We will be testing them over the next week. However I expect the manufacturer to make good on su :2010-09-15 04:40:12

This is a nice mountain bike.  
This is the first bike Ive purchased since I was a kid. I wanted to get something that wasnt an $80 Kmart bike but I also have no need for a high end bike in the neighborhood of $1000 either. This is well worth $180 in my opinion.

First of all I received the bike very quickly. There was no cosmetic damage to the bike whatsoever and I was able to put it together in less than a half hour with very limited knowledge of bikes. The bike comes partially pre-assembled you will just have to attach the front wheel handlebars and peddles and make small adjustments to the brakes. You should only need a couple of allen wrenches and crescent wrench to put the bike together. One piece of advice just make sure the handlebars are on as tight as possible they got a little loose on my first ride because I didnt tighten them down enough.

I have only taken it on paved roads so far but it rides very smooth. So far I have done 2 10-mile bike rides and have seen nothing to complai :2010-09-15 04:40:12

Bike was severely damaged in the mail  
As a disclaimer I was never able to ride the bike I bought from amazon b/c it came to me damaged. Im still writing this review though since most people who read these amazon reviews will buy from amazon and its important to know how it is shipped.

The box comes double-boxed so no one knows what you bought. The bad news is that there is no "This Side Up" label on the outer box like there is on the inner box so the bike could hae gotten damaged by being put in a variety of positions--The outer box was not damaged. The bike was not properly padded for shipping. There were occasional thin pieces of cardboard taped around the frame but these didnt prevent damage. The front is cable-tied to the frame of the bike by the forks. Everywhere that there wasnt cardboard on the frame there were major scrapes. Where there was cardboard there were minor scrapes and the stickers were bubbling. Because the front wheel was near the front forks some spokes were slightly bent. Finally after al :2010-09-15 04:40:12

Nice Bike for the money  
I bought this bike based on the reviews and was not disappointed. I was a little surprized to see that the wheels did not have quick release on them but its not that big of a deal. The bike arrived in pretty good shape and few nic and scratches but nothing terrible. The bike goes together rather quickly attach the pedal handlebars and front tire I did have to adjust the brakes to get the tires on. Overall I am satified with the bike. :2010-09-15 04:40:12
