The Schwinn GTX-2 is a dual sport bike that is fast on the road and dependable off road. Large diameter tires for stability and comfort. This bike is equipped with an aluminum dual sport frame, SR suspension fork, Shimano rear derailleur and Shimano trigger shifters. The alloy wheels are lightweight and strong and has a quick release front wheel. Linear pull rakes and a SR alloy crank add the finishing touches for a great riding experience.
The Schwinn GTX -2 Hybrid bike is a 700c sized wheel which is a European size which is a standard for Hybrid & cross bikes. A 700C wheel is a little larger than a traditional 26” wheel that are found on mountain bikes. The frame size is medium or 18”.
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.

Pretty Nice But Different Versions
As far as I can tell, there are three (3) different versions of the same basic bike:
1. GTX-1. Original version. Twist-grip shifters. Black wheels. Solid blue color.
2. GTX-2. Amazon version. EZ-Fire trigger shifters. Natural wheels. Grey/white color.
2. DSB (Dual-Sport Bike). Wal-Mart version. EZ-Fire trigger shifters. Black wheels. Black/white color.
Essentially, the Wal-Mart DSB (the one I have) is the GTX-2 with the GTX-1 black wheels and a black color scheme (instead of grey).
The bike itself (in any version) is pretty nice, comparable with low-end hybrid bikes from other, higher-end manufacturers (like Trek) but with more features at a lower price. Of course, component quality is surely not the same level as a Trek, nor do you get the same kind of support from an LBS that sells Trek bikes.
So, it just boils down to type of shifters, wheel and bike colors as to which one to get.

Awesome!
This review comes from an amateur biker! If you are looking for a bike for professional riding this is below your expected payment. I'm an average rider and really enjoy this bike! I've had no problems, the bike came mostly assembled, all I had to do was put the handles on, screw the pedals on, attach the seat, and put the front wheel on. The brakes are already attached. I do however recommend taking the bike to be maintenance by a bike dealer...unless you are one or know what you're doing. If you live in a place that has a lot of thorns like I do, you will want to purchase the thorn resistant 700c Shrader valve 35-43 48mm, I purchased the sunlite brand, and yes it does matter. I also used the original tubes as an extra liner in the tire for extra protection against thorns! I am well pleased with the results!
Right Side Pedal came off the Pedal arm.
This was a xmax gift for my son. As he was riding it, the pedal came right off and stripped the right side pedal arm. I cannot screw the pedal back inot the arm. How is this possible with a bike of this calibar? I also read a review, about a recall on the GTX-2 in regards to the pedal coming off. Is this so? I will be in contact with the mfgr this week and find out what is behind this
recall rumor and/or if I was a victim of such.
Thx all...
