If you consider this just as a mountain bike, it stacks up pretty well against its competition. Dual suspension, quality components from suppliers such as Shimano; it's tough and built to last, and looks great too. But where this bike really comes into a league of its own is when you consider its incredible folding frame. For so many people, space is at a premium, whether it's storage space at home, space in the car, or even space on public transport. This bike allows you to keep all the fun of a mountain bike even in tight spaces. KMC Z33 chain, Folded dimensions: L 39" x H 35" x W 23.5", 36 lbs fully assembled. Left shifter: Microshift 3 speed grip shifter, Right Shifter: Microshift 6 speed grip shifter, Front Derailleur: Saigun QD-23a, Rear Derailleur: Shimano RD-TZ50. Brand new.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Good bike
After a few days, I'm perfectly happy with this bike. I was hesitant to choose this one over the other 26" folding bikes because it lacked any reviews, so here is my review :)
The Good: It's a perfectly functional folding bike with 18 speeds and full-size wheels. It was the only option at the time that had full size wheels and more than 6 speeds, in this price range ($200 shipped), so that is a definite plus. It also has rear shocks which is nice, though I don't know if I'll make any use of them. I consider myself to be a novice at bicycles, but everything was pretty self-explanatory and I made it work with no trouble, which is important because the instructions were minimal; the only things you need to assemble are to attach the front wheel, the seat post, the handlebars post, and the pedals (to their arms), which were all simple. All my accessories from my old bike fit onto this one just fine too (luggage rack, fender, seat).
The Bad: The manual is sparse,...

Love the Frame/Hate the Components
I have put 40 miles on the bike at this point, both road (with a tire change) and 10 miles of trails. I am already replacing components that shouldn't be replaced. All of your money on this bike goes to the frame. They definitely cut corners on components to market this bike at this price. For mild trail riding this bike is not very durable. I don't like that the brake arms are plastic as well as the rear derailleur pulleys; expecting these to break at some point. I have already bent the bottom bracket (crank axle) as it is fairly cheap and flimsy. This happened mid trail and I lost my crank arm mid pedal; had it been on a switchback I would have been in the gully. Bike quality mostly rests on the components, and these are cheap.
Pros: This is great bike for simple fact of storage and portability. Great for storing under the camper or in the back of the van and for moderately level riding off road and on. Comparable to any bike at wal mart under $100...
Bargain Bin Priced Unique Bike
I have owned this bike for a week now. The shipping was VERY fast, but the packaging of the product was not in its best shape, (the box it comes in had holes all in it, cheap cardboard) Needless to say mine came without the pedals or the two tools used to assemble the bike which required an additional shipment from them. The pedals and assembly tools came very quickly after a couple back and forth emails, which I praise them for clearing up their error efficiently. As others have said, the manual is not exactly clear, nor is it for the right bike in sections, but I was able to put it together pretty easy.
About the bike...its $200 with free shipping. Try and find dual suspension bikes at Walmart in general for this price...and then add in the fact that this one folds up....amazing. Yes the components are questionable but for me, the sole purpose of this bike is to be able to ride the metro in San Francisco during rush hour (foldable bikes are allowed on all subways at...
