About Mongoose
In 1974, BMX Products, Inc., later to be known as Mongoose Bicycles, launched from a humble garage. The first of its kind, the BMX bicycle was named after bicycle motocross and was designed to fit the needs of the rough-and-tumble dirt-racing pastime that took its toll on wheels and bicycles. The heavy-duty, one-piece cast-aluminum Mongoose Motomag wheel was soon born, and it was the first competition-ready BMX bicycle available. Skip Hess, while in Australia pursuing his motor sports passion, came into contact with a strange and unusual cat-size animal--the mongoose. Known for its passive nature while unprovoked, yet vicious and aggressive enough to kill a threatening Cobra twice its size, the Mongoose impressed Hess, who quickly registered the Mongoose trademark for his new bicycle racing frame.

The Expert BMX bicycle model, which is still a cornerstone of the Mongoose BMX line today, was introduced in 1980. Shortly after, Mongoose captured the first ever ABA National #1 Cruiser Title. Previously known for the 20-inch bicycle, this title signaled the re-direction of Mongoose bicycles to larger-wheeled, adult-sized models. Several years later, Mongoose continues to dominate the cruiser racing circuit with six National No. 1 Cruiser titles, leading to the introduction of adult-sized Mongoose all-terrain bicycles (ATBs).

In 1992, Mongoose pioneered the full-suspension market with the introduction of the Amplifier. This design is still the most-copied suspension design in the market. Several year later, Mongoose launched the Newman adult bicycle frame, which is proven to be 15% stronger than any other bike frame in the market. The design, while functionally sound, also raised eyebrows because of its distinctive look.

In the next few years, Mongoose increased its marketing focus to dominate the bicycle industry, and more important, extend beyond it. The Mongoose brand marketing initiative makes more than 100 million impressions. Mongoose’s brand awareness increased by over 130% in 1999 and solidifies the No. 2 market share position in units and dollars. Mongoose was acquired by Pacific Cycle, LLC, and continues to grow and prosper with more than 40 models of BMX, mountain, trail, freestyle, jumping, comfort, road, and cyclocross bikes.

Summary: It's ok for a first time BMX bike
Comment: This is a beginner's BMX bike and it is geared more for younger kids. The instructions are very confusing because they included every bike they make and it is up to you to try and find this bike and pieces randomly placed in manual for assembly. The breaks are not very good especially the rear breaks. Everything else is standard and nothing special. The packaging is not very good and my bike had a few dings on it. If you are looking for a first time BMX bike this is the bike for you, but if you are looking for a nice BMX bike I suggest you look else where. Remeber that you get what you pay for and this bike is a very inexpensive so good luck with your purchase.

Summary: Great Freestyle bike
Comment: I only bought this bike to travel a couple miles per day on a paved walking path with only pedestrian traffic. I do not plan to perform any tricks or use the bike for racing. Simply just a small casual riding bike to complement my larger mountain bike.

Summary: Very nice bike-looks great
Comment: VERY nice bike, looks great and was a pretty good price!!!MY biggest beef with it woudl be the directions as to how to put it together as they were definitely for a few different models and the barake assembly instructions left somethign to be desired!!! I was also extremely disapointed in the shippping as it was shipped in actualy box that they come with with ABSOLUTELY no packing around it, the probelm with this is it a very nice bike but parts were strewn all over and had to large holes in teh box that let stuff rattle around through its trek to my house!! all in all got here ok and seems to be fine!!! thanks

Summary: mediocre for the price
Comment: i bought this bike when it was on sale for 119 dollars which is a more fitting price. it holds up great but the brake pads are horrible but other than that it holds up great. i would not choose the free s&h because mine came with a few dings. in summary great bike, needs a few improvements, watch for the dings.
