Mongoose Blackcomb - Assisting Beginning bikers Dominating the mountains, since 2007

By Joel Colman


An average person doesn't wake up in the morning with thoughts of blasting down the mountainside at breakneck speeds. Not all of us obsess about how to get that last second edge over other racers in an intense blast through the dirt. For most of us, taking a bike in the mountains is a nice way to see nature, get away from the smog, enjoy the slow pace of the country and even get fit and process.

If you're like me, then you need the right bike to help you enjoy it all and get back in one piece. This is where the Mongoose Blackcomb comes in. This bike design is all about helping you survive those mountain trails and coming back with all your limbs. A beautiful but tough bike, it takes all the abuse you give it. This is one vehicle any mountain biker should have.

Enter the Fun and Perfect Bike

When it comes to riding quality and performance, topping this bike is quite difficult. There is no other way to say it - Mongoose has made a brilliant bike, period. From Promax brakes, that would stop a landslide, to a 24-speed Shimano gear setup, this bike has everything you will ever need.

It's well-researched and tested design ensures a comfortable riding position suitable for the needs and form of different riders. The Mongoose Blackcomb was specifically developed to meet the specific height,form, speed and needs of different riders. From the design of the handlebars, frame set-up, the fork, the seat contours and the overall riding height, this bike has it all.

The aluminum frame is brilliant, especially when you consider that it contains a dual alloy suspension with a 4-bar vertical spring, running through it. The bike's bump-absorption capability is magical and when you combine that with the seamless gear-shifts, you get a fantastic package.

Is there anything that we don't like about the bike? The Kenda tires might seem average but if you consider the fact that this bike has been built for city and mountain use, or abuse, you will understand exactly why this bike has the wheels it does. Other than that, you might find the rims slightly less capable of handling the worst landings but then, Mongoose has already made it quite evident that this isn't a competition bike.

The Price Bit

How much would you be willing to spend on a bike that can tackle any terrain, give you an unbelievable riding experience through the mountains and keep you safe when the going gets tough? It's hard to put a price on that but Mongoose have still gone with $400.

How can you go wrong with $400? For the comfort and high quality performance that the Mongoose provides, it is certainly worth the trip to nearest biking specialty store, sporting goods store or the mall! With this high quality bike, sometimes the local Walmart would even have sales when you can get it for only $140! Is that a deal or what!

Whether you are looking to buy online or from a store, you will surely need to have all your ends covered. Do your research well and, if you can, take a test-ride to understand and feel the magic we are talking about. Only then will you realise that with this bike, you are already in the presence of greatness!
