I love this bike it's a awesome bike. It only requires little maintenance. I got the bike in store pick up. If u r looking to get a light trail bike to ride this is the one. Mongoose has always been my favorite bikes. I've tried other brands and types but they didn't meet my expectations. If you want to get into MTB i suggest you get a hardtail. They can get u experience in MTB fast. One thing is when u purchase this bike u can found a local bike shop that u will have to purchase the tubes, tires, and any upgrading u want to do to it.

Revived 2 Damage bikes
The seems nice if I could have only had a non damaged bike shipped to me. I ordered one and the bike was damaged and protruding from the box and the front wheel was bent badly. So I returned and ordered a second time only to have it be damaged worse than the first one the rear derailer was bent into the rear rim. Now I am going to a different store to buy a bike that is not damaged. Very disappointing as I wanted the bike for the weekend and received the first damaged one on Wednesday and after finding it damaged I ordered again and was to receive it Friday and was good as I wanted it for Saturday only for Friday to have the second bike come damaged as well. So I had to spend more money and buy a more expensive bike from a different retailer in order to get a bike that works and is not damaged. Very dissatisfied and just plain feel let down but this experience.

    The bike is good, Walmart not good
    I ordered that bike online to be delivered to my house. I got a call saying that they sold the built bike mnd would I mind getting one that has to be built, I didn't mind but when they delivered the bike it was the wrong size and wrong color! I was extremely upset because it was for my special needs son's birthday the next day. So I had to go to the store and exchange it due to it being the wrong size and pink and black. I returned it and they weren't sure if they had the one I ordered in stock. They did have it in stock but the seat was missing a part. Also they gave me a hard time selling it to me for the price I paid online and giving me a discount for the missing part that I had to order. Walmart.com is not what it used to be. Their customer service department is also very upsetting and disappointing. I can't believe that Walmart would treat me like this.

    the bike is honestly great and was not to banged up even though there was a huge hole in the middle of box ? . also the tires are really not that great. i weight about 220 and the tires are labels as 196 lb max weight load. so had to replace innertube and tire the same day of putting the bike together whoch really sucks. but over all its a decent buget bike.

    love the bike and the ease of shifting with the trigger gear system. dislike that the front disc break squeaks all the time, and that i had to reset the handle bars because they were upside down when i received it.

    Delivered broken
    Nice $298.00 bike but it was delivered with a broken rear derailer/shifter. I ordered online as it was $49 cheaper, I tried to exchange it at my local Walmart But they wanted to charge me full price. I explained to them that I would not be there if my six hour old bike was not delivered broken. After 20 minutes they finally exchanged the bike. upon arriving home I put air in the tires and adjusted everything, it seems like a good bike for the price and I hope to enjoy it this summer.

    Bike rides fine but the components are much cheaper than expected. Brakes work but are questionable. Easy assembly if you are used to working on bikes.

    Disappointed - Damaged!!!
    I disregarded countless reviews of damage and poor quality. I ordered to store for pickup to try and avoid delivery damage. They loaded an undamaged box in my car and when I got home to pull it out the front forks where bent and damaged as others have reported. I wanted it to work. I don't think I will even reorder. That much damage in a box, how can I expect it to withstand the west and tear of a teenager.

    Don't Waste Your Time Or Money. I'm So Serious.
    Please pay attention to all of the negative reviews on this listing. I ignored them because I thought I'd be an exception to the rule and have a good experience with this bike, but boy was I wrong. It stressed me out all afternoon. The bike came in a beat up box with holes in it like other reviewers mentioned, and the bent fork thing is 100% accurate. It's impossible to get the front wheel to align properly. On the off chance you do get it on, your brakes are gonna rub like crazy. If you try to adjust them to get the rotor to align properly, the brakes will likely shoot apart because of how much you loosened everything. Good luck trying to put it back together when that happens. The only way to fix the issue is to maybe pay a local bike shop to assemble the bike for you, or buy a new fork. Given the cost of both, and the cost of the bike itself, it's just not worth it. You'll come out better just getting a refund because you'd end up paying as much to assemble the bike as you did to actually purchase it. I'm really disappointed in Walmart and Mongoose. They need better quality checks in place. I don't mean to drone on and sound like a complete downer, but this purchase bummed me all the way out. I was so hyped when this bike arrived. It was my first bike in decades, and I was going to use it to get get back into shape and give bike commuting a try. On top of that, it's honestly a really nice looking bike. But the old adage, "you get what you pay for" definitely rings true on this one. I'm also irritated because I ordered this thing online to avoid going into the store during the pandemic in the first place, and now I'll likely have to lug this thing back into a Walmart just to get a refund.

    Had to return
    Really wanted this bike to work. It looks great, but that's about it. Bike came with a badly damaged box with holes in it. Started to put it together and found that there was one of the stem bolts missing.( probably fell out of the box with holes) this made the front end unsafe ,when moving the handlebars back and forth it was very loose. Also the rear derailleur was not adjusted correct from the factory and would not stay in gear. Sad I had to return because it looks great.

    It was a different experience with Mongoose.
    The frame looks nice and sturdy. It arrived with missing bolts for the handlebar. Disk brakes is a another plus. However, it is very unconfortable for riding if you are a tall person. I am 5'8. The seat position is very uncomfortable.

    Good bike for the price
    Im a big guy and this 29 inch bike seems large enough to comfortably get me from point to point. My only complaints so far are the extremely uncomfortable seat and the ease with which all the interior pieces (bearing, spacers, gaskets, etc.) fall out of the stem on the front fork when you loosen the top bolt to attach it to the frame. Once together, the brakes and shifting mechanism for the bike work well. Compared to a smaller similar bike that I had to settle for in the early shortage of bikes during the first days of the pandemic when everyone wanted a bike this bike gets me about 1-2 mph faster speed with the same effort as I track my rides. I need to switch out the seat and hand grips to find something with more cushion.

    Crooked Front Fork/Tire Issue (common issue)
    BUYER BEWARE! Had to return the bike to the store for a refund. I bought the bike even after reading all the reviews about the crooked front fork and front tire installation issues, I thought "it has to be a few 1 off issues". I really wanted to like the bike, but I didn't even need to try and install the tire to notice how horribly crooked the front fork was. I gave it a shot anyway and like others reported its impossible to install the front tire properly. The tire was crooked and won't align the front disk brake and while I got the refund, it was a waste of my time. I was not expecting a high quality bike, I knew I was getting a big box bike, but the lack of quality control of a product is disappointing. I found a Schwinn High Tiber AL 27.5 at another retailer for about the same price as this bike, way happier with the purchase.

    Front tire issue (seems common)
    Got the bike in hoping the 1-star review scenario wouldn't happen to me but sure enough it did. Assembled half the bike but when I got to the front tire, the whole metal was bent in the wrong way. Was impossible to put the tire on. Now I have to go the store with a huge heavy box and return it. Horrible experience

    Defective
    The front tire will not go on correctly, initially we thought this was just a 1 off issue but after reading another review it seems to be an on going issue with this bike. Weve been in contact with mongoose to see if if there was a faulty part that could easily be replaced but we received minimal communication from them and the span from communications are ridiculously long. At this point we are probably going to return the bike and buy a different brand, very disappointed.
