Submitted by Nick Wong a Weekend Warrior from San Francisco, California, USA
Date Reviewed: November 25, 2003
Duration Product Used:3 months
Price Paid: $150.00
Purchased At:Target
Strengths:Cheap price
Weaknesses:Cheap? I don't like the ugly welding on the frame, which is also heavy. There are shocks for the front, but it isn't designed for true rough roading. I also find it underdamped for more regular road surfaces.
Similar Products Used:Schwinn High Plains, cheap generic MTB and touring bikes
Bike Setup:Stock
Bottom Line:I got this for my wife, so she can go biking with me. There's nothing outstanding about this bike other than the cheap price, but then the quality and the components that you get are cheap to match... The bike is mainly for on road use and dirt/gravel trails. It's an entry-level bike for beginner riders.
