About Mongoose
Founded in 1974 in a Southern California garage, Mongoose has always been an innovator. From the company's initial cast-magnesium MotoMag wheels to its current crop of BMX, mountain, and pavement bikes, the Mongoose name has been synonymous with bicycle performance. Mongoose builds specifically for riders, which is why the company's BMX designers aren't wasting time watching reruns on ESPN2. Instead, they're constantly testing their new designs at the park, on the track, and on the hill. This continuous experimentation is what drives Mongoose to cook up things like the Front Porch head tube, which lets you fine-tune the handling on Black Diamond series mountain bikes, or Freedrive suspension technology, which eliminates pedal bob and provides a super-efficient full suspension. Mongoose bikes don't just push the limits; they set new ones.

great entry level bike
By Trevor K. Thomas
Got this bike primarily for my commute to work. Yes, even though a mountain bike isn't the most efficient bike for the roads, I wanted something that I could get a little rough with. So far I'm not disappointed at all. The gears did need a little tweaking but after that it's been smooth sailing. The Shimano derailleurs are nice, the dual suspension is terrific (my first bike with any suspension). With probably a few upgrades to components this could be a hardcore bike. For this price it definately competes with $1000 bikes.

Awesome bike for a good price!
By PS
Awesome bike for a good price! It looks great and you would recognize your yellow bike from miles away. There is no kickstand but it is not a big deal. It takes 5 min from unpacking to complete assembly if you have an allen wrench at home. I wish an allen wrench was included since it's the only tool necessary to tighten the handle bar.
