Strengths: great componentsWeaknesses: unfortunatly people look down on the nameBottom Line: This is an excellent bike for the price the msrp on this bike is 650 i got it for 350 on nashbar its got sram x-4 shifters and rear derailleur along with tektro mechnical 160mm disk brakes, a 100mm travel sr suntour xcm v2 front fork and a kind shock coil/oil dampened rear shock. When i first bought this bike i was slightly detered by the name i had always associated mongoose with walmart. but dont let the name fool you on this bike. Pacific cycle owns mongoose and in my opinion they are idiots for making the lower end mongooses under the same name because mongoose makes 2500 dollar bikes. This bike is the enrty level into their top end bikes and should be recognized as a good entry level mountain bike. Overall i have put this bike through its paces i am an avid trail rider and yes its not a 1500 dollar trek equiped with fox floats or anything like that but if yuo are looking to get into a GOOD full suspension bike that can handle some crazy trails then this bikes for you. just do yourself a favor dont pay full price.

Strengths: I just got into mountain biking and couldnt afford an expensive bike at the current time. I chose the Otero COmp because of the price. I took it out to a few mountain trails and needed more travel on the front fork because it bottom out on some small jumps. I upgraded the fork to a ROckShox Tora and its a perfect bike for me. Not sure if it can handle a Diablo Park tough trail but it would be a fine bike for anyone new to mountain biking on a limited budget who can improve the bike over time. I havent had anything break on it yet.Weaknesses: Front fork needs more travel or needs to be harder.Bottom Line: If you can get it for under $500 and want to start mountain biking, its a decent bike. I dont weigh more than 150 lbs so I dont know how it will handle a larger rider but this is fine for me.
