About Mongoose
In 1974, BMX Products, Inc., later to be known as Mongoose Bicycles, launched from a humble garage. The first of its kind, the BMX bicycle was named after bicycle motocross and was designed to fit the needs of the rough-and-tumble dirt-racing pastime that took its toll on wheels and bicycles. The heavy-duty, one-piece cast-aluminum Mongoose Motomag wheel was soon born, and it was the first competition-ready BMX bicycle available. Skip Hess, while in Australia pursuing his motor sports passion, came into contact with a strange and unusual cat-size animal--the mongoose. Known for its passive nature while unprovoked, yet vicious and aggressive enough to kill a threatening Cobra twice its size, the Mongoose impressed Hess, who quickly registered the Mongoose trademark for his new bicycle racing frame.

The Expert BMX bicycle model, which is still a cornerstone of the Mongoose BMX line today, was introduced in 1980. Shortly after, Mongoose captured the first ever ABA National #1 Cruiser Title. Previously known for the 20-inch bicycle, this title signaled the re-direction of Mongoose bicycles to larger-wheeled, adult-sized models. Several years later, Mongoose continues to dominate the cruiser racing circuit with six National No. 1 Cruiser titles, leading to the introduction of adult-sized Mongoose all-terrain bicycles (ATBs).

In 1992, Mongoose pioneered the full-suspension market with the introduction of the Amplifier. This design is still the most-copied suspension design in the market. Several year later, Mongoose launched the Newman adult bicycle frame, which is proven to be 15% stronger than any other bike frame in the market. The design, while functionally sound, also raised eyebrows because of its distinctive look.

In the next few years, Mongoose increased its marketing focus to dominate the bicycle industry, and more important, extend beyond it. The Mongoose brand marketing initiative makes more than 100 million impressions. Mongoose’s brand awareness increased by over 130% in 1999 and solidifies the No. 2 market share position in units and dollars. Mongoose was acquired by Pacific Cycle, LLC, and continues to grow and prosper with more than 40 models of BMX, mountain, trail, freestyle, jumping, comfort, road, and cyclocross bikes.

 "great bike for the price" 2009-07-13
By Chad San Bento (Pawtucket, RI USA)
My 10 Yr old loves this bike, It's a nice sturdy trick and all around bike. I would recomend it to any one that is looking for a bike for the child....


 "smaller then it looks" 2009-06-09
By J.M.V (US)
They do not give the actual frame size of the bike which turns out to be smaller then it looks in the picture. Its height is lower than you would think which makes your knees on the paddles come up to your chest unless your have your seat up real high which then you have trouble touching the ground.

Also the front wheel hub on the one I received was really loose and made the tire really wobbly and it could not be fixed without taking it totally a part which wasn't easy.


 "great bike for 11yro boy. top of the line bike, reasonalbe price." 2009-05-26
By Laura Daino (Springfield, Pa (suburb Philadelphia))
All of my other son (12yro) friends from his school want to ride Dylan's new bike. The 6th graders want one just like this Mongoose. Easy to assemble and sturdy quality. My kids use their bikes on ramps and in the woods. This bike still looks brand new after a month of rough use. I recommend this bike for its cool looks, popular brank with the middle school crowd and can take rough use by the whole group of friends.

By C. Flores (So.Cal.)
My son loves the bike, I like the bike too. I heard a lot bad things about mongoose brakes, But I haven't had any problems with them after I fixed them. the front brakes were just put together wrong.. But other than that the bike runs great..Awsome!!!


 "good as expected" 2009-03-07
