Mongoose Switchback Comp Mountain Bike, 29" Wheels, Medium Frame, Black

Exactly what I was looking for. This is the basic, sturdy, modern workhorse I wanted. Shipping was prompt. Bike was quick and easy to assemble right out the box, with only a few minor adjustments needed to get it to work as expected. Operation was straight-forward. I like the color. I'm adapting the bike into a touring/cruiser role. I've already acquired accessories that fit and will make it my own.

Tbh. This bike is the real deal. I'm not going to hit any mountain trails anytime soon. But it's a great ride around the block and through some orchards. The bike feels robust and looks great!

I haven't had A mountain bike in 30 years.This is a great one to get back into it with..great bike

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Im big on outdoors and love riding bikes on the trails! I was very surprised by this Switchback Comp from Mongoose. Mongoose is a well known name but I never realized they had such a beast like this and had to give it a try. First off packaging was really good and bike was completely protected. Was a really simple assembly and it was fun to do because you really get to see the design and engineering that was put in it. Tectonic T1 aluminum MTB frame really made this what looks like it should have some weight to it really makes it super light and durable. It was definitely made to be used and pushed to the limit and keep on going! It is really nice all the customizable adjustments you can make to get that perfect fit for anyone who is going to use it. The 2 x 7 drivetrain with Shimano derailleur and Microshift shifters made it really smooth to shift when going down and uphills. The Disc brake was absolutely amazing and gave the smoothest braking power whether it be hard or soft, which gives you maximum control when hitting a last second turn. I am by no means a pro or even hardcore mountain biker but I will say this is a really good starter bike for those who are really trying to upgrade their game from a basic 10-speed. I have throughly enjoyed this Switchback Comp from Mongoose and really would recommend it to anyone who is trying to level up their mountain biking skills!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband likes his bicycle is his height not mine is comfortable for him. It's adorable and it performs pretty good. The only thing that we had trouble with was putting it together. It was very hard to read the instructions that is a bike and it's made really well and it rides real good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My bf has loved this bike. It was super easy to put together and is perfect to get into trial / mountain biking. He has also used it on the road and it's great for that as well. The gears shift so smooth and this bike is a great quality product that is going to hold up really well. He is 6'2 and the medium works great for him.

The bike did not shift smoothly. I had to take time to set it up correctly. Now that it's setup the bike is awesome and shifts great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love this bike - I hadn't had one in several years and this one fit me perfectly (for reference I'm 5' 8”). I felt comfortable riding this bike and changing gears even though I haven't had much experience with riding mountain bikes. The only issues I had were some of the instructions for building the bike (such as putting on the handle bars) were more confusing than necessary and I initially had worries about its safety/durability once put together -especially with breaking. However my fears were unfounded and this bike rides wonderfully.

Quality fit and finish. Easy assembly. Fork has no lockout and front brakes are extremely weak.

Arrived broken the “fix” was to send us a part to fix it ourselves.. it is the canister..taking back and getting refunded
