Mongoose Status 26" Men's Mountain Bike - Ready for Any Trail Adventure

Badzilla: It's a low-end mountain bike. The cycling guys made fun of me. But Hey... Nice paint (after removing the silly decals, as I always do). Good welds (on par with Razor). Aluminum frame. As a technician, good welds are always good to see.

Kristen Davalos: This is a nice, quality bicycle overall but be prepared for assembly issues with the de-railers and for adjustments needed on the brakes. The build took my boyfriend right under two hours as it was his first bike build and he was being meticulous about it after reading through the safety concerns other reviewers have mentioned on here. After noticing the issues with the de-railers being positioned incorrectly in a way that effected gear changes while riding, we then took it to a professional bike shop for them to correct and paid additionally for that service and for the peace of mind knowing it would be safe to ride. If you have experience with fixing your own de-railers and brakes, this will be a breeze for you. But if you're inexperienced with building bicycles correctly, be prepared for a final check over at a professional shop and factor that in to the cost (ours was ~$50). It was worth it to me since I made this purchase at such a good price, but if it hadn't been the deal it was I would've been very frustrated. Also, I’m right under 5’1” and this bike is just a little bit too tall for me but I anticipated that might be an issue and bought it anyways....

RC Planes, Copters & Trucks! on YouTube: Very minimal and easy assembly, a little adjustment on gears and brakes, and its ready to ride. Love it! Its working very well for towing my Dog Trailer too. Excellent manual comes with it and very nicely boxed to protect the bike. I got the metallic blue which looks fantastic.

Julie Bellamy: Ordered this bike last year, the first bike the gears did not work. Ordered a second bike and got it for it to have the back derailleur bent. Kept one and have tried to get the gears to work, they work for one ride and then would no longer shift. Went to ride it this year and the shifters have completely seized. Do not waste your money ordering this bike off amazon.

Ms ManifestaMs Manifesta: Confused with the handle bar of the bike it was mailed to me like this yet it looks as if it was set up backwards and I am not sure how to fix it. Otherwise bike seems good, havent had much of an opportunity to use it yet but I am looking forward to it.

A. J. PerrasA. J. Perras: I had this bike for under five months, and logged about 330 miles on it; most of the miles were road miles around my town with varying elevations doing between 15-20mph, usually no less than 10 miles at a time. I would not recommend this bike to anyone who wants to use it for anything more than leisurely, slow rides around a neighborhood for the following reasons:

The first few rides, I had a pedal fall off (almost crashed), and the handlebars come loose; those may have been an issue with assembly and not tightening up enough, but it's not like I left everything so loose that those things should have happened. It got to the point where I always carried tools with me on my rides in case those things occurred again.

The chain skipped for almost the entirety of the time I used it over 4-5 months, and it eventually got to the point where downshifting to gears under maybe 13th gear caused the chain to grind horribly against the gears, sometimes popping the chain off.

It rusted at many different points (possibly from me sweating on it, but come on).

The gears were always difficult to get exactly in the correct position, brake adjustments...

Kim Rogers-NicholasKim Rogers-Nicholas: So far so good. I bought this for my 16 yr old son He is a big guy 6 ft 250 pds and I was worried it would be too small as it said medium frame. But it fits him perfectly and not small at all. he put it together quickly and easily. Really only had to attach front
wheel ,handle bars ,seat and pedals - pretty much already assembled . He was out with friends riding in the state park within 30 minutes of putting it together And he was riding it for more than four hours and said it handles well Only issue he had (which I saw from other reviews also ) was he has a sore butt ! I recommend either changing the seat or getting a gel pad cover for it ! Only day one But so far so good seems sturdy and supports a big guy

UPDATED: so we are 6 months in and the bike has needed a few adjustments. First off I had to take it to the bike shop because the handlebars continued to slip and loosen however I don’t know what the bike shop did but they fixed it and it doesn’t come loose anymore. Second. The tires kept popping and / or loosing air changed inner tubes a few times and then changed both tires out to something sturdier with Teflon and now they do...
