Date Reviewed: April 18, 2010

Strengths:    This bike rocks I've had it less than 3 months and it rides like a dream. I put the XS 3 piece crank w/sealed bearings and the XS pedals and stem and GT Mohawk wheels. It's great on the track, it's light and fast.

Weaknesses:    none that I have found yet

Bottom Line:   
This bike is light and super fast,but it's not for heavy jumping dirt jumping only. Only experienced riders should buy this bike it is not recomended for novice riders

This Bike rocks, i love it, race it , and jump it. if you want a supper lite bike that dosn't break every time u crash this is the one. Not for street or freestyle. This is a lite Racing/Dirt jumping Bike, that stays in one piece. Period

Date Reviewed: August 22, 2001

Strengths:    Extremely light and stiff frame. The extra "plating" connecting the down tube and top tube to the head tube make me feel more confident in the frame staying in one piece.

Weaknesses:    Can't find them anywhere, I had to get mine used.

Bottom Line:   
Buy it if you can find one and if you dont plan on jumping it.

Bike Setup:   I don't know what the stock set up is but the only thing I've really added was Powerlite handle bars (a must for me, the "power bend" is addictive almost).

Date Reviewed: October 22, 1999

Strengths:    
This bike has a light stiff frame. It accelerates better than any other stock bike in its price range. This bike is not a jumping bike so for the idiots who tried it for that start looking at what you're buying. This bike is a great racing bike.


Weaknesses:    
The two piece cranks aren't great but for the price they work.


Bottom Line:   
This is a race bike not a jumping bike. When used for what it is intended this bike kicks butt. If you're looking for a jumping bike buy the automatic, but for racing on a budget go for the pro stock.

Strengths:    
Stiff and light fantastic weight distubution for jumping


Weaknesses:    
promax brakes and levers suck. I installed a xt brake lever and it was a whole lot better. crank is awful. handlebar slips in you don't torque down stem bolts.


Bottom Line:   
with a three piece crank a dx brake and a better stem it'd be one bad motha....

Bottom Line:   


The Schwinn pro stock 2 is a terrific bike for racing. It coms wiht a 21 in.
top tube and 15 in. chainstays. One of the great things about this bike is the fact that it comes with a solid mix components and is still priced at under $500. This bike is graet for anyone getting into BMX racing.
