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.
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, Poor Seller...
I bought the bike in anticipation that it would be in the RED color that was specified. Instead, the package arrived and I was surprised to see a black frame inside. I thought to myself, hmm... strange. At that point, I put the bike together with no hassle really. (I am a bike mechanic, so this is second nature) The only problem was that the front derailler was a bit too small, but a little tweak to enlarge it and everything shifted well. I have to say that I hate Grip Shifters. Just dispise them. I got the bike for my dad and I had a few requirements: Disk Brakes, 29er mountain bike, Shocks, under $300. This fit the details and the price is right.
For my dad, it is enough to get by with for another 10 years. I personally own a recumbent trike (Catrike 700) and this is way lower in quality than my trike, but hey, it isn't the same by any means. The brakes are disks, but I'd rate them to be as strong as rim brakes, a bit spongey at times. I can't lock the rear wheel to skid...

The quality corresponds to price
The bike is +-ok, but quality of some parts isn't too high: the manufacture uses the cheapest bottom bracket, disk brakes and fork.
- the Zoom disk brakes was installed instead of Promax, and I have strong feeling that Promax should works better;
- the fork works like rigid one;
- the bottom bracket doesn't have enough oil and works very hard.
So, this is the good bike for beginner, who wants to test 29er. But I don't recommend to buy and use this Mongoose as real MTB.
Nice Bicycle
This is a very nice bicycle for the money. I would have given it a 5 star except for shipping damage. The box was dinged up from shipping and the parts were able to move around and the front wheel spokes became tangled on the pedal shaft. I had to work on it a bit to get the spoke off without damage. The reflector that was mounted in the spokes was broken adn had fallen off. I did not ask for a new one.
The assembly was quick and easy without reading the directions. After pumping air into the tires the bike was ready to ride. It was a gift for my rather tall 14 year ol, 6' 4" tall and he fit nicely onto the seat.
Very nice bike at a great price.
