from San Diego, CA Date Reviewed: September 5, 2010 Strengths: Good components for the price. Bike performs well climbing and descending. Weaknesses: Frame has manufacturing defect issue. Can crack at weld. Mongoose did not honor the frame warranty which is good for as long as the original owner owns the bike. They claim it is only 3 years on frame, even when presented with written warranty that came with bike. Update: Got a call from Mongoose saying I was given the wrong warranty, but they graciously decided to honor it and gave me a free frame. Thanks Mongoose.

from Texas Date Reviewed: September 3, 2008 Strengths: I bought the frame by itself on Ebay with only the headset and rear shock. I love this bike. I will probably replace it with a newer one. It's strong but not too heavy, It's a bulkier, more aggressive version of the GT idrive. I love the freedrive, It does what it's supposed to. I like the cable routing alot, which is an underrated benefit. Weaknesses: none noted so far Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $370.00 Purchased At: ebay Similar Products Used: Giant AC1. Kona Dawg, Kona Stinky. GT RTS-1. Bike Setup: NIxon fork, atomlab wheels, SIC stem, XTR rapid rise rear D and shifter. Hussefelt crank. 1x9.

from Chandler AZ Date Reviewed: November 2, 2007 Strengths: This bike is a upgrade from my first bike which I only had for 30 days. After relizing I needed more of a bike for my ability this bike was a good choice. I am a abusive rider and beat the crap out of my bike and this bike begs for more!!! The components on this bike are second to none and have been through it all from cross country rides, gnarly climbs and some good jumps and lots of downhill. I ride with others that have bikes twice the cost of mine and there is no reason for that with MONGOOSE! My 06 model is sick and the new 08 model makes me drool. Do not hesiate to buy this bike. Weaknesses: NONE, after all the abuse I have put my bike through the only thing I replaced is the chain. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $1800.00 Purchased At: Performance Similar Products Used: GT I-drive 5 4.0 Bike Setup: Stock set up except maxxis minions dhr dhf.

from Reno, NV Date Reviewed: August 7, 2007 Strengths: After a year of heavy trail riding and jumping with the teocali, it is still performing very well. I have not needed to replace the bearings, and the frame is still in good condition. The bike also performs great as always, smooth and stable in the rough stuff, and it manuvers so nimbly, at the slightest touch. Cornering is amazing on this bike, it carves. Finally, it sails off jumps with ease, due to its low center of gravity. Weaknesses: The paint isnt of the highest quality. It takes A LOT of fiddiling to get the suspension balanced. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: flowy ones Duration Product Used: 1 Year Similar Products Used: IH Mk3 Giant Reign Bike Setup: Teocali Pike(air) Fox Rp3 Mavic 321

from Hampshire, UK Date Reviewed: July 28, 2007 Strengths: Sturdy, strong and dependable frame. Beautiful geometry for my weight and ride. (I'm slightly on the light side at 10 stone) Weaknesses: Keep an eye on the pivot bolts. It's not that they're weak, you just need to maintain the correct torque on them for the ride you do. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: South Downs Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $2000.00 Purchased At: Built Similar Products Used: Specialized enduro, scott nitrous Bike Setup: Stock Teocali Super with the forks swapped out to rock shox revelation, XTR crank.
