Review: What a Pleasant Surprise - I read an article recently that said Mongoose had started building good bikes again. I was skeptical, but I needed a decent hardtail for my wife and really didn’t want to spend $1,200. And even if I did, they were all sold out anyway, so I bought her the Mongoose Switchback Comp for $600. Tonight I opened the box, put the frame on my stand and settled in for what I thought was going to be a nightmare assembly. Not 45 minutes later, I was done! Other than having to tweak the brake cables just a touch, it went together like a dream. The derailleurs were pre-adjusted perfectly and even the seat angle was dead on. There was even lubricant where it was supposed to be and the screws for stuff like the handlebars already had Loctite on them. I was also impressed with the components. Everything that mattered was from Shimano and other reputable companies and they were all decent grade stuff! I do wish it had Presta instead of Schrader valves, if only because now I need to keep 27.5 tubes in both styles, but it’s a minor thing. As for the construction, it was also impressive, especially at this price point. The Aluminum frame welds were as good as I’ve seen and where the cables were run through the frame, the holes had reinforcing plates welded on. I found no rough or sharp edges to cut cables or snag clothes. It’s also a very nice looking ride in dark gray matte with pink lettering and the finish is nicely done. The devil is always in the details and this time, the folks at Mongoose really got it right. I recommend this bike and wouldn’t hesitate to to ride it straight into the nasty stuff!
Review: So glad I bought his bike - Bike was very easy to assemble no parts missing. No parts damaged in shipping. Bike had no scratches in it and welds and paint job is very well done. Extremely happy with my purchase and the speed if shipping. Did have to Oder a kickstand and replaced the skinny seat with one more comfortable (wider). Bike shifts easy and is a very smooth ride. Came in Bright Bright Lime green green sticker states neon colors may fade, this is odd does this mean if I leave it in the sun or no matter what? If so they need to use better paint as the color is really cool! Bought the large frame as I’ve had a hip and knee replacement and don’t bend as much as I’d like. The height and size of the bike are perfect for me with my limitations and my 5’11” frame. Bike is not heavy which is great as hubby can’t always be around to help me load it fir out of town trips. Frame and handle bars are thicker than standard bikes so read any accessories you buy to make sure they fit. This is a bike for off and on road riders. Like the wide tires as I live in the country and sometimes need to avoid traffic (weedy shoulders). Great bike for both men and women regardless of age. I’m in my late (late) 50s but my kids already want to borrow my bike (no). Great bike, highly recommend, great brand, I expect many years of use out of this bike!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value
*by H***U on May 19, 2024*

I had just bought a fat tire mountain bike from Mongoose. It is a great bike but even after changing the tires to road tires I was only able to pedal 8.5 mph max so I decided to try another Mongoose but one designed for bike trails as well as light mountain trails. I was able to put it together very easily. I read some complaints about the handlebar stem being backwards but this is the way most bikes are shipped. All you have to do is loosen the screws on the stem and turn it 180 degrees. I am mechanically inclined so this was automatically intuitive to me. I bought the medium frame because it was 25% off but at 5'7" I was in between small and medium frame. At first I was worried about the center bar being a male but it was no problem. I quickly learned to just tilt the bike a little bit when I stop and dismount. The Expert 18 speed was good enough for bike trail riding at top gear. I love the trigger shifters. Keep in mind that although the left shifter has 3 positions you only use 2 positions on it since 2 x 9 = 18. If you have three sprockets in front gear set you will use all 3 positions. This is most likely the Trail version with 21 speeds which use 3 x 7 = 21. All 3 on front gear set and only 7 on rear set. The Comp and Sport versions of 9 and 8 speeds, respectively most likely have only 1 front sprocket so you probably only use position 1 on left trigger. My shifters worked great and needed no adjustment. I love the disc brakes as it has great stopping power. Only negative I faced is when seat was all the way down it was still a bit high for my 29" inseam. It could not go down further because the stem hit the threaded inserts from accessory mount screws. You will have to buy a kickstand as it doesn't come with one. Overall, I took it on bike trail today and was able to get up to 13 mph on level surface. It is a great bike for the value and I recommend it.
