Schwinn Ridge Al: Never Wait For A Mountain Bike Sale Again

By Katrina Harden


When investing in a new mountain bike, it isn't a cut and dry process. Since bikes in general are designed differently for all types of riders, choosing one that is best for you is not always easy, especially if you are a beginner. For the most part, price is always an issue with most people. If you are one of those people who have a more flexible budget to work with, the quality of materials and the craftsmanship of a bike are more your concern.

Fortunately, bike manufacturers make it possible for both camps to be happy. They make inexpensive bikes that have a lot of quality and value in them. To get one of the best mountain bikes on the market, you don't have to spend a grand to get one. The Schwinn Ridge Al Women's Mountain Bike is a well-made product built with quality and reliability in mind for under $300.

You won't be disappointed with the performance of this bike. It is light-weight, easy to transport, and more importantly it is easy and fun to ride, all for under $300. The Schwinn Ridge Al is an overall excellent bike that makes for a fun and easy ride with its front-suspension fork that helps to absorb the shock of dirt and paved gravel roads.

The Shimano EZ Fire shifters and front and rear alloy linear pull brakes are quick and responsive. Equipped with a quick-release front wheel and seat is a nice feature for easy storage and transport.

Let's take a closer look at the product features:

* 26-inch women's mountain bike with frame size 16 inches that comes in two colors, blue and purple ice

*Hydro-formed light-weight durable aluminum MTB frame that provides you with better control and easy riding

* SR Suntour suspension fork provides a smooth ride for paved and off-road riding

* Shimano EZ Fire shifters are quick and responsive to all types of terrain making it easy to shift gears

* 21-speed drive-train and Sram TX-31 rear derailleur allows for quick gear shifting and front and rear alloy linear pull brakes provide good stopping power

* SR Suntour alloy 3-piece cranks offer optimal on or off-road gearing as well as rust-proof alloy strong and light rims

* 1.95 inch thick tires, 26-inch wheels

* Quick-release saddle and quick-release front wheel for ease of transport and theft prevention

First and foremost, if you decide to have this bike shipped to you, have it assembled and fine-tuned by a bike shop pro to get the optimal performance you expect from this bike. The extra $50 spent doing this will save you a lot of frustration and headache in the long-run. Once you have done this, you will have a smooth shifting easy riding bike that handles all types of terrain without any issues.

The Schwinn Ridge Al has pretty much all of the same features and functionalities as its male counterpart. It is built tough enough for some off-road riding but I wouldn't recommend it for racing on dirt rocky roads. It is an attractive light-weight bike that is great for commuting or recreational riding.

The Schwinn Ridge Al is the mountain bike you have been looking for to hit the trails and ride through the neighborhood. It is easy to handle and control with easy to shift gears and brakes that work exceptionally well. It is a well-made light-weight bike that is a comfortable fit for an average size person for going on long rides through the park and around town.
