MLC: This bike looks pretty awesome. Just wish my son will ride it more. He still afraid to ride a two wheeler bought this bike because the tires looked very stable and let me tell you they are.! These must be the biggest tires I have ever seen on a bike!

Sean Hearn: This bike far exceeded the reviews I read. I had it on the road within an hour after it arrived and started assembly. The instructions are a little inconsistent, but it was so well put together out of the box it didn’t matter. Once it was all together, it rode great! It’s only been six or more hours, but I am really impressed having owned Trek, Stumpjumpers and Canondale.

The only damage was a broken reflector (as if I use them). The stem is a little short but not critical for a bike in this price range.

I would consider this more then entry level at a extremely reasonable price. More to follow. This is first impressions.

Gratziela Dina: The Bike is great, very easy to put together, and very nice to ride. The 6 speed gear changer is uncomplicated and well matched for the size and weight of the bike. It rides real smooth and comfy with the wide tires.
The only gripe I have is that the height of the handle bars could not be adjusted high enough to make it comfortable for a 5'-11" man. The seat height can be set high enough, but the handlebars seem to fit more of a 5'-6" person. I ended up buying a 6" extension tube, which gave me the extra height so the handle bars, match the seat height. Was getting tired of riding hunched over.

Amazon Customer: I was actually in the yard when my product was delivered. I small framed lady started to pull it off her truck and I offered to help because the box was bigger than her. No damages on arrival. Product was packed well. Assembled in about 20mins because I was fumbling through the instructions. I bought this because I'm a large guy at 6' 325lb and needed something to ride around the neighborhood with my year old. This thing is much harder to turn than a normal bike and hard to get rolling compared to a normal size bike, but thats probably due to the much wider wheels. I won't deduct points for that, since it's my fault for being fat and needing wheels this big. For value I give 5 stars because I caught mine on sale for $200 and a week later it was $500. So I guess I got lucky? I let my son ride it and now it sound like everytime the wheel goes around 1 revolution, it is dragging on the brake. Not sure if he tried to go offroading with it or not. Since I don't know what actually caused this I won't deduct a point either, but I would like to add that it doesn't feel like the best quality bike I've ever owned, and I've only ever bought my bikes from Wal mart before this one. I recommend...

Nathanael: Okay so I am going to start with the Pros:

1) The bicycle frame seems very sturdy, and the black with white accents on the steel frame is sharp - as are the black aluminum rims.

2) The bike is MOSTLY assembled in the package.

3) The wheels are fantastic, you can just ignore so many obstructions with this thing while on the trails.

Now for the CONS:

1) The Price. I don't know who wants to wake up these bicycle companies about it but Covid 19 causing a supply deficit can't be used as an excuse anymore. I am CERTAIN that the supply and demand has balanced out by now. Y'all are just greedy and don't want to go back to the proper cost balance because you can make more this way and it is messed up. The cost of bicycles in general is ridiculous. This bike went for around $400 before Covid and I had to fork over more than $900 that is Corporate Greed at its finest.

2) The weight, Just so you guys know this bike is made with a Steel frame - as they state - and it is HEAVY.

3) The brakes - because of the weight of the bike in particular - take quite a bit of time to engage and bring you to a stop - I recommend using the rear and then the...

Henry H: This is not a good choice for a bike snob, but you know that already, right? This is a cheap fat bike for someone who doesn’t want to spend 3 to 4 times as much on an “entry level” unit at their local bike shop.

I ride a fairly decent road bike during spring to fall, and picked one of these up for the winter. Yes, it’s a definite step down in terms of overall quality. If I wanted to, I could replace a whole bunch of the components to make it a lot nicer. But is it perfectly acceptable for my 15-minute winter commute? The answer is of course yes. I’m satisfied, especially given the price point I was able to snag it at.

Claire KennedyClaire Kennedy: Love the bike. Took it to a bike shop to get built and change out some parts if they were cheap looking. I got the gears changed and pedals changed. They were going to change the brakes, but felt no different with the other ones so kept the brakes that came with it. As someone else said it won't stop on a dime.

Great speed on the bike and a lot of fun.

Frédéric AngersFrédéric Angers: J’ai dû forcer la structure pour faire entrer la roue. Freinage avant mal ajusté. Même si je savais que c’était un entré de gamme je m’attendais à mieux. Je mets quand même 3 étoiles car le vélo est tout de même fonctionnel
