$350.00 | | Strengths: | I love almost everything about this bike. Smooth ride, ease of gear shifting and comfort, except for a flawed seat design. I ride with my young children as well at 8 miles each morning on paved roads. It is versitile! | | Weaknesses: | The seat design. I love almost everything about this bike except for the seat design. My husband and I both own one and the seat has completely sheered off the goose neck twice on each bike. We do no unusual riding. Mine has never been on a trail. We get little support from schwinn. What a shame. It is a fantastic bike otherwise | | Bottom Line: | Over all...Comfortable bike with a smooth ride. Great purchase if you are willing to upgrade the seat components. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Affordable price,
easy maintainance, | | Weaknesses: | none discovered yet. | | Similar Products Used: | Sears Outlook moutain bike. Schwinn Traveler road bike. | | Bottom Line: | This has been a great bike for me. The price $350.00 made it affordable yet I have been able to ride most of the trails in Southeast Michigan without any trouble.
I wonder about the suspension seatpost and gooseneck as far as holding up, so far no trouble. I've given the gooseneck some good workouts on some fairly technical trails and the movement takes some getting used to but I like it.
The frame design as well as the shocks in the seatpost and gooseneck make for a very comfortable ride. Real easy on the back because the rider is able to remain fairly upright when seated.
Handles sand and mud well. I've handles some steep downhill coasts into sand without a slip. If you get off the seat and let the bike take to bumps you can roll over or through just about anything.
The handlegrip shifters are the best. No effort to find and get into the best gear.
I'm a beginner to trail riding but I've done miles of road.
This is by far the best bike I've ever owned. I don't think you can beat the comfort and quality for the price.
