Comparison of Mongoose Mountain Bike with Rating
Here a list of the most reviewed Mongoose Mtb (dual suspension, 21 speed, black-comb, full suspension, etc…) to help You get multiple source of info to buy the best that fits Your needs.
Mongoose Tyax Comp Men’s Mountain Bike (26-Inch Wheels)
Rating 4 of 5
Product Features:
* Formed 6061 heat treated alloy frame
* SR Suntour XCM-MLO 100 mm travel with mechanical lock out
* Shimano Acera rear w/ EZ Fire trigger shifters 24 speed
* Promax V-Brakes
* Jalco AX430 double wall rim w/ Formula hubs
After some research, I found this bike to be the best deal for the money. Good shifts, rim breaks are not as good but yet the stopping power is not any worse then a specialized HardRock with Disk breaks (i.e.), the fork does not have much (if any) damping.
If $300 to $500 is your budget, then go for it. (I got mine for $330)
