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)
Mongoose Otero Super Mountain Bike
Rating 4 of 5
Heated treated 6000 Series aluminum frame gives you a lightweight and solid ride. Rock Shox Tora 289 U-Turn front suspension offers 55-130mm of smooth, long travel performance for your all-mountain rides. Air sprung, rear shock soaks up the rough stuff. Shimano/SRAM drive-train and SX5 trigger shifters provide flawless gear changes and performance every time.
Kenda Komodo tires use a non-directional tread design to shed mud without compromising speed. Tektro Auriga Comp hydraulic disc brakes provide low maintenance, all-weather stopping power in all conditions. Includes Montague CLIX front quick release.
The breaks really stand-out as super. The bike looks great. The gears change nicely the suspension does a good job. The gears available are well selected. Keep attention to the breaks, because when I spin the rear wheel, the breaks are providing a friction which make the wheel slow down.
Also, the front de-railer needs to be adjusted because when in the middle gear You could hear a noise when in combination with some of the rear gears. It is a little wide at the handle bars but it’s a solid bike and takes a good beating.
Truly a great starter bike and worth upgrading as you go along.
Mongoose Maneuver Men’s Dual-Suspension Mountain Bike (26-Inch Wheels)
Rating 3 of 5
The Maneuver is equipped with a lightweight, responsive alloy dual- suspension frame that works to give you a smoother overall ride by absorbing harsh bumps. Riders will also dig the 21-speed Shimano shifters and SRAM drive train, which seamlessly switch gears on straightaways or hills. Other details include front and rear alloy linear pull brakes and levers for powerful and reliable braking and an alloy forged three-piece crank set.
Sure this bike probably can’t 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. Once You’ll decide to go into the woods or mountains where
You’ll be taking 5-foot drops, I suggest You to get a $1000+ bike.
It is a bit heavy, but hardly noticeable when riding. It maneuvers very easily, and it goes through the gears very smoothly.
This bike feels very solid, and so far You wont have mechanical problems whatsoever (a friend of mine rides about 45 miles a week on the street and bumpy trails with no problems).
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’t bother me at all. Also, the breaks make a sound when I use them but I am sure I can fix that.
Use this bike to decide whether or not you really enjoy this sport, in the end you’ll be much happier!
So overall, this is a good bike, and I recommend it to anyone who is interested. I do not think you will be disappointed.
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 didn’t tighten them down enough.
Mongoose Tech 4 26″ Men’s Full Suspension Mountain Bike
Rating 3 of 5
The Mongoose Tech 4 full-suspension men’s mountain bike brings you a high-performance, 4-Bar Link, 18-in suspension frame matched with Rock Shox Judy J1 fork for easily handling rough terrain. This bike has a front and rear V-brakes for dependable stopping power and a 24-speed SRAM 4.0 shifting system for responsive gear changes. It also comes equipped with a WTB Speed V saddle and 26-in wheels with Kenda Kharisma XC tires.
The gears did need a little tweaking but after that it’s been smooth sailing. The Shimano derailleurs are nice, the dual suspension is terrific (my first bike with any suspension). With probably a few upgrades to components this could be a hardcore bike. For this price it definately competes with $1000 bikes.
Mongoose Pro Wing Elite Dual-Suspension Mountain Bike
Rating 3 of 5
With a stealthy, pitch black paint scheme, 100 millimeters of plush front suspension, and an advanced four bar rear suspension system, the Mongoose Pro Wing Elite is ready to hit the trails right out of the box. Designed as a formidable and versatile trail bike, the Pro Wing Elite is designed to tackle a variety of varied terrain with ease–including single track, technical climbing, and simply cruising around the neighborhood.
The bike’s 3.5-inches of supple, yet efficient rear travel and optimal overall weight will allow it to descend with ease as well as climb like a nimble mountain goat. To ensure that those thrilling descents stop when you want them to, a Tektro mechanical disc brake system comes outfitted on the bike. The advanced braking system allows for easy one or two finger braking, and the system uses standard bicycle brake cables instead of hydraulic fluid, so there’s no need to worry about complicated brake maintenance. Other great features include a durable 24-speed Shimano drivetrain, beefy double wall alloy rims, and trail hungry 26 x 1.95-inch tires.
If you want a bike that will take a beating and not cost you a fortune than this is it. Make sure you get the right size frame though. This bike will handle most anything you throw at it, the tires have great traction, the brakes handle well and don’t lock too easily, and shifting gears is as smooth as butter. I haven’t had a problem with the bike at all other than there were a few scratches in the paint when it got to me(but most people are going to put a few more anyways if you ride hard).
Have taken bike on paved roads, rough tracks, hard packed earth roads, and even through a shallow stream, and it rode smoothly all the time. Road up steep slopes and hills, and gearing was excellent to make such climbs easy. Raced it downhill and clocked speeds of 22mph and felt happy.
Bad things I experienced; Front tire was fitted in wrong rotation direction, and there’s no way to turn in round, because the brake disc must fit into the caliper on the right side.
Seat hurts a bit. Handle bars hurt my palm, and I can’t get the bars to come higher. Have read the manual repeatedly to achieve this to no luck.
