Magna Echo Ridge 26" Bike

Bike arrived well packed - all items were protected; easy to assemble; tires were already aired up!

Purchased as a birthday gift for my granddaughter turning 12. My husband had to assemble it and had no issues. She loves the bike and is learning how to use the hand brakes and adjust the gears. Great gift!

So far so good. The ride is smooth, the seat is firm (a little too firm) I'll be getting a gel cover for it, but I'm really enjoying my bike.

This bike is everything i could ask for! I am so excited!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this bike because I haven’t owned one in ten years and since my littles are always wanting to ride theirs I figured it was about that time. I have never put a bike together so this was a bit of an adventure. You need pliers, wrench, a huge Alan wrench (surprisingly not included), and Phillips screwdriver. It listed a few other things but I didn’t need them. Also kept saying to put white grease on things, I don’t know what that means and didn’t have it but it works fine (called for the handlebars and the seat- I assume to make adjusting easier so may be important in the future?). When we picked up the bag all the nuts and pieces fell out so I had no idea how to put the seat clamp together and the instructions gave no information on it. My husband has always had the job of putting the bikes together so thankfully he knew how it went. I also couldn’t get the handlebars tight enough to not move so had to have him tighten that as well (admittedly I could have tried harder but hey that’s what I have him for). It probably took me 40 minutes to get it together (with a bit of help). I do wish the instructions were better but in the long run it was alright. Got on the bike and round in circles and could still do it after a ten year hiatus lol. I’m looking forward to some beautiful rides with my kids.

If you are looking for a cheap bike, you get the quality you pay for. This bike I at first thought was okay, but like most bikes, you’ll need to replace the seat as it is very uncomfortable. I also had problems with getting the chain and such in a mess. It got stuck in the wheel crevice and took a but to get out. Once it was on the gear shifting wheels though, and I finally had it all together, it turns out the left gear shifter did not work. I am not the best at bike mechanics and new to it, as im sure most could/would be. So would of been nice if it was better put together in first place. Aside from these bit of faults, the bike is definitely a ‘mountain bike’. It is ‘long’ as you will have to reach quite a bit over for the handles even if raised up. Maybe it is meant more for tall people? And the tires are not the best. They seemed more for cruising than mountain trails. Overall: you get what you pay for. I did end up returning for something more fitting for me.

Its good- could be better tho. Wheel is kinda weird so brakes are hard to adjust…

DO NOT WAIST YOUR MONEY! I was in a pinch for a new bike after having my stolen a mont before the 5 boro bike tour. I chose this one because it seemed to fit my needs. I had to take it to my local bike shop because the rear derailleur was crushed, breaks were not set properly, and gears were jammed. I am VERY disappointed with this purchase.

Price drops like pins. Be careful what price you buy this for.
