Sports reviews of Mongoose Montana Boy's Mountain Bike (24-Inch Wheels)

Customer Review: Good bike value
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars

I bought this bike for my 9 year old son. I wanted something rugged for the abuse 9 yr old boys tend to dish out but I also wanted him to have gears so he could ride with me when I go longer distances.

In the bike market there are cheap steel bikes at the big box stores, or the high end light weight bikes at the bike stores. I know if i went to the bike stores I would find what I want for $350+. Hard to justify the money since he will outgrow this in two years. I took a chance on this and it seems to fit somewhere in between the high and stores and the big box stores.

The frame is aluminum, which is a plus for weight, but the bike does not seem to be a light as the best bikes at a bike store. Anyway, it is still better than some of the junk I see in the low end stores. The bike requires light assembly of the handle bars and the front wheel and it could have taken only took 15 minutes from unpacking to riding. The minor problem I had was a loose rear brake cable clamp. I had to reset and tighten this cable, fairly minor to those who are familiar with bikes. The shifters and brakes seem of medium quality, they are Shimano probably their lower end stuff. They shift well out of the box, but I think over time they will need some adjusting. The most important thing I notice is that my son does use the gears, therefore they must be acceptable to him. I observe him while we ride and notice he quickly became familiar with the appropriate gears for the terrain as we rode, that was what I wanted from this purchase.

Overall , I would definitely recommend this bike to anyone looking for a good bike at a decent price.
