Mongoose Pro Wing Comp Mountain Bike Review
Mongoose has been producing the Pro Wing Comp mountain bike for a few years, and the components vary significantly between generations and model years. It is not necessarily the quality of components that varies, but rather the inclusion and configuration. The core of this mid-level bike’s design has stayed the same throughout the years, which means the ability to upgrade is consistent despite which Mongoose Wing you purchase…
Mongoose Maxim Mountain Bike review
The Mongoose Maxim is a dual-suspension mountain bike that is available at an entry-level price but offers room for learning and growth as a rider. The key to appreciating the Mongoose Maxim is to recognize that this is an stylish-looking beginners bike with the potential to be upgraded to an intermediate bike as a rider’s skills improve.

Mongoose XR Mountain Bikes Review
The first thing that is going to catch the attention of many riders is that the XR200 from Mongoose is sold at Walmart, which makes people prejudicially discount its quality. Before deciding that the XR200 is cheap-by-association, take a closer look at its components and design. At the core of the XR200, and its cousin the XR250, is a single-pivot suspension frame.

Mongoose Otero Comp Mountain Bike Review
The Mongoose Otero Comp is a dual suspension mountain bike for riders interested in advancing their equipment and riding abilities to the “next level.” That level is the one in between introductory ranked bicycles and professional models. Many readers will associate the Mongoose name with their bikes sold at large discount-retail stores, but the Mongoose Otero Comp is more than just a cheap bike.
Mongoose Tech 4 Mountain Bike Review
The dual suspension is the first design characteristic that will catch the attention of the Mongoose Tech 4 prospective buyer. However, the suspension can be misleading if one does not take the time to consider the entire array of components included and the purpose for which this bike will be ridden. As an entry-level downhill and general cross-country mountain bicycle, the Tech 4 is a great value.
Mongoose Montana Mountain bike review
Finding an inexpensive bike is a great way to encourage a healthy active lifestyle, so Mongoose manufactures several models of mountain bikes such as the Montana that are intended for the entry level rider. This bike is a classic hardtail mountain bike, without the bells and whistles, for riders in search of a simple, familiar looking, bicycle. At an affordable price, the Montana is great for men and women that are shopping for a basic bike. However, you do get what you pay for here.
