MongooseFlatrock Mountain Bike, 24, 26 or 29 Inch Bike for Youth and Adults, 7 or 21 Speed, Aluminum Frame, Suspension Fork, Twist Shifters, Linear Pull Brakes, for Adults, Boys and Girls

If you're looking for a bike that's ready for anything, whether it's cruising around the neighborhood or hitting some easy trails, the Mongoose Flatrock is an awesome choice. I've been riding mine, and it's just a fantastic, reliable bike that makes getting out and about a joy.First off, it's really comfortable to ride. The front suspension (that's the "hardtail" part, meaning suspension in the front fork) does a great job soaking up bumps and uneven paths, so your arms and body don't take a beating. This makes longer rides or slightly rougher terrain much more enjoyable.Changing gears is super easy with the 21-speed twist shifters. Whether you're going uphill and need a lower gear, or flying downhill and want to pick up speed, a simple twist of the wrist gets you where you need to be. It shifts smoothly, so you're never struggling to find the right gear.I also really appreciate how lightweight yet sturdy it feels. It's easy to maneuver, which is great for weaving through paths or even just getting it on and off a bike rack. And when you need to stop, the brakes are reliable and give you plenty of stopping power.Overall, the Mongoose Flatrock is a fantastic bike for anyone who wants to enjoy the outdoors. It's built tough, rides smoothly, and is just a lot of fun. Whether you're a casual rider or looking to explore a bit more, this bike is a great companion!

Great fit for my 6 foot tall teen son. It's a nice sturdy bike that should last him quite a while. The seat gets a little uncomfortable when he takes long bike rides so we will change that out but that's the only complaint he's had.

It's a really heavy Mongoose but .. I knew that when I pressed the "add to cart" button. The hardware on the bike is mediocre but .. knew that. The bike does everything you need it to do .. unless you're a "bike person". If you ride this too hard .. it breaks. If you use it for transportation, or if you need a good beater for your kid who will be throwing this at the ground repeatedly until they move out of your house chasing some dream job in cosmetology or whatever nightmare they're dreaming of .. this is the bike for you.Assembly was complicated by the fact that it's just an okay bike. The tools they include are enough to assemble the bike with but, you can cut your assembly time in half if you just have some basic tools lying around the house.The bike rides and feels fine. With some fine tuning on the brakes and shifter mechanism, the bike would stop and shift fine.Solid "bang for the buck" on this but, if you spend another couple hundred bucks, there are better choices that would be worth much more than the extra investment.All in all .. this is okay and it's fine unless you're really trying to do anything outside the realm of "commuting".

Great bike and worth the money. Mongoose is a good brand.

hi,,when i first received this bicycle it looked well made,,the frame looked good,the wheels looked good...etc..mongoose bicycles have been around for a while...didn't think there should be any problems...i rode the bicycle for approx,,,one week,,each time i rode the bicycle 6 to 8 miles [on a paved road] i had rode a total of 35 miles i was finishing a ride about a half of a mile before i reached home...i was going about 5mph then suddenly i hear this loud noise i jump off the bicycle to see whats going on,,i see that the rear derailleur sheered in half ,,moving forward on the drive chain into the rear wheel,,the other half of the rear derailleur was hanging there broken in half..i couldn't believe this happened....,only 35 miles in total luckily i was close to home about a 15 minute walk...i've been riding bicycles for over 60 years and have never seen a derailleur failure like this..this is a shimano labeled derailleur ..this derailleur should be recalled immediately luckily i didn't fall off the bicycle with a injury...the center piece [a casted item] of that shimano derailleur completely failed obviously poor quality control/low ball manufacturing/metallurgy,,,i lost complete confidence in this bicycle,,,what a disappointment,,i called amazon customer service,they helped,,its been returned i am still waiting for my refund..thats my story,,

Its alright. I had Mongoose a long time ago and thought this would last longer for my son than the Huffy that started breaking in a year. Unfortunately we've replaced plenty of parts on this already also. Just not made as well anymore.

Excellent mountain bike for the price

I live in a medium-sized neighborhood; I bought this bike to more easily travel within my neighborhood without having to use my car for very short trips. I have never assembled a bike before, but I was able to assemble this one quite easily. The instructions were a bit confusing, because instructions are included for several different versions of the bike, but once I acclimated to which instructions were applicable to me, it wasn't very hard. I did have to purchase a few items for assembly, but they were not very costly, and they will be useful additions to my toolbox. Assembly really only entailed attaching the handlebars, seat and pedals. All of the gear mechanism was already assembled. The bike is easy to ride and operate. So far, I'm completely satisfied with this purchase!
