| djprizm's Full Review: Mongoose Aluminum Mountain Bike XR-100 |
This bike is off the hook! For $150, what else do you want!
The upgraded 2003 version features the Shimano C050 drivetrain, Mozo G30t front fork, overall good suspension, its a hell of a bike!
I recommend buying a better seat(must), a halogen light(or 2), seatback pouch, and a good computer (or speedometer). If you're a really hardcore biker, a new, better front fork,
tires and wheels, and drivetrain would suit you well. With a few upgrades, this bike can handle anything those $1000 bikes can handle.
The only negativity I had toward this bike is that the front and rear derailleurs don't work very well when first purchased. Some adjustments will definitely have to be made. Also, make sure to check the bike thoroughly before you ride it. Also, and what upset me the most, was that the front forks are not adjustable. Other then that, this bike is an excellent buy.
