Schwinn Bonafide Mens Mountain Bike, Front Suspension, 24-Speed, 29-Inch Wheels, 17-Inch Aluminum Frame, Matte Black/Red

The bike looks great. Black and orange colors are very very cool, looks mean. 29" wheels are huge but very light weight. Took some time to figure out the disc brakes but once I figured out how it works, I was able to reseat (wasn't mounted correctly when arrived) and adjusted the power and now very assuring braking power. Seat hurt a lot so bought a new seat at Amazon. Bike is very fast at downhill. Worked nice on snow covered uphill but wished for one more low gear. Now I know why 27 speed is better than 24 speed. Even the frame is only 17" medium, it is big. I'm 6'. With 29" tires, even 17" frame feels like a very big bike. Very tall. Broke the chain after 4-5 uses on about 10 mile trail. Called the customer service (very very nice service by Sidney), short waiting, and new chain is on the way, covered by warranty. Can't wait to go out again because this bike is so good. Bought it from Amazon just before the price increased by about 10% so very happy. 2 months delivery at the time of order but was delivered in 3 week.

It's a great bike for the price if you track the price over time. The price fluctuates quite a bit and I was fortunate to pull the trigger when it dropped to $530. At this price point, I don't think you can find anything similar feature and quality-wise. Positives: 1. Bike is shipped primarily pre-assembled, so the remaining assembly takes around 30 minutes. The manual is somewhat useless and confusing as it walks you through the assembly process from the scratch. Rather than wasting your time reading it, watch a few short YouTube videos if anything isn't clear 2. It's a good quality bike that will gracefully handle some beating. Shimano EZ shifters are great at changing your gears rapidly and precise to help you tackle different types of terrain, mechanical breaks are excellent, 29' wheels let you build some serious speed and the aluminum frame feels light enough 3. Lastly, the paint job is sharp. Perhaps, it's one of the better looking bikes I owned Some negatives: 1. Front suspension is fine but cannot be adjusted. 2. Optical gear display shifter shows a red line indicating your gear position. The only numbered gears are "1" and "8", leaving you to guess the gear you're on if you ride on middle gears. I find it annoying that they didn't bother with a bit more descriptive indicator. 3. As mentioned in some other reviews, the seat is NOT comfortable. It's ok for a casual ride but gets really uncomfortable during more serious and longer trips. Do consider upgrading your seat at some point. 4. Derailleurs needed some adjustments and brakes too as they were rubbing disks. Not sure if it really counts as negative as some adjustments are expected, but it can take time to figure them out. You may want to take it to the bike shop to save some hassle Other observations: Some people complain about pedals coming off. By looking at their photos I am guessing that they put pedals wrong. Make sure to watch a pedal assembly video before you start if you never had to do it before. It is not as straightforward as it seems. Foot rubbing front tire at slow speeds l if pedals are parallel to the ground. It never happened on my old 26'er but apparently not something unusual for a close-coupled frame bike like this one. it's called 'toe overlap' and becomes a non-issue as you get used to avoiding it.

Mi hijo está feliz. Viene de una Giant r26, y no tiene ninguna queja. Es ligera, los cambios son rápidos, está cómodo con el tamaño (mide 1.73m) y puede seguir creciendo sin necesitar una nueva. Le gustó mucho la respuesta de la suspensión. Al ensamblarla, hay que tener cuidado con dejar las ruedas bien alineadas. Me tomó un poco de tiempo entender el armado del manubrio, pero en general, el proceso fue razonablemetne simple.

Great bike

En términos generales la bicicleta es buena, ligera, ágil, se siente bien armada. El detalle viene en los componentes, son básicos. A la semana de haberla comprado, con no más de 100 km recorridos se rompió el eje de la llanta trasera (200 pesos). Las balatas del freno tracero son algo "malas" por lo que compre unas Shimano (400 pesos) En una semana de uso ya le he invertido 600 pesos en refacciones, cosa no se espera que sucedan tan pronto. Cabe recalcar que no le doy un uso rudo. Mayormente sobre asfalto, algunos lados con empedrado y otros en terracería (como muestro en la foto) Les recomiendo que quien compre la bicicleta la lleve al taller de confianza para que les digan que le pueden cambiar, antes de que pasen un mal rato en plena rodada.
