- Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2024Got this for myself and my wife. Both are very happy.
Requires assembly. If you are not comfortable doing it yourself, take it to a bike shop. For me, it was pretty simple to do myself.
Gear shifting was precise out of the box - not sure if we got lucky or if it was tuned up before packaging, but the bottom line is I didn't have to take them to the bike shop for tune-up.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2023I have a hard time bike shopping. Being taller with really long legs makes finding a bike that is tall enough, with enough space from the handlebars to clear the knees, semi-challenging. This was a winner.
One of the first things I would recommend is taking it to a bike shop after assembly for a "tune-up". It won't cost you much ($15-$20) and they can double check all the things you aren't an expert in adjusting. I feel like this saved me tons of potential future issues. Also fixed my chain slip issue by adjusting chain tension I assume.
Overall this bike has been good for trail riding and riding around town. I added a rack to the back and carry baskets on either side for longer trail riding storage or shopping around town, works great.
Also upgraded the pedals to these, I don't like my feet to slip off when it's wet/muddy: https://amzn.to/45zGnVu

- Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2025Great out of the box for casual riding. I bought this bike and did a ton of modifications to it just because I like to tinker with anything I own. It's takes a bit of doing homework to modify as it's not up to date or par with the fancy shmancy stuff from today, but if you like to modify stuff it's kind of fun having to figure out what fits. Now that being said I wouldn't pay the 600 something they are asking now I payed around 300 bucks for it so it made sense to modify it. At 600 id probably get a cheaper specialized or giant or something along those lines. The bike is a good entry level bike reliable and Schwinn has always had great customer service.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2022IF YOU ENCOUNTER ISSUES WITH THE FRONT WHEEL HITTING YOUR FOOT OR PEDAL, YOU HAVE THE FORKS BACKWARDS!
When I unpacked and assembled this bike, I saw that I was encountering the issue where the front wheel was extremely close and hitting my foot. After a little investigation, I saw that this was because the forks are reversed when shipping. Turn the forks around so the large U bracket is facing forward, and this solves the issue and is how the bike is intended to be assembled as per the manufacturer's pictures.
Outside of this, I am a big guy, 6'2" and 330lbs so far this bike holds me up quite well, I am yet to do any major riding, but I wanted to make a note for everyone since I have seen multiple reviews showing that, but no one has posted a how-to correct this. Simple fix when assembled correctly; it's just not documented by the manufacturer. For the record, I wear a size 14 shoe and have ample space between my foot and the front wheel when turning, simple fix, to poor documentation.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2022In the 5 months we have had this we have had the front bearings and hub explode, the rear gear shift somehow bent inward while riding when shifting. Local bike shop can't figure it out and the cost of constant repairs is now added up to the point I'm throwing it in a dumpster. All of this riding on paved residential roads. DONT buy this bike, it's a complete POS.
Adding to this review as it hit the dumpster after 9 months. The rear gear shift fails all the time bending inward and basically wrapping the chain around itself. The chain permanently twisted around it. This bike is an epic waste of money. Do not buy it at any price, if someone offers you one pay them 20 dollars to go away and take it with them, it will vost you less in the long run.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2021The bike looks great. Black and orange colors are very very cool, looks mean. 29" wheels are huge but very light weight. Took some time to figure out the disc brakes but once I figured out how it works, I was able to reseat (wasn't mounted correctly when arrived) and adjusted the power and now very assuring braking power. Seat hurt a lot so bought a new seat at Amazon. Bike is very fast at downhill. Worked nice on snow covered uphill but wished for one more low gear. Now I know why 27 speed is better than 24 speed. Even the frame is only 17" medium, it is big. I'm 6'. With 29" tires, even 17" frame feels like a very big bike. Very tall. Broke the chain after 4-5 uses on about 10 mile trail. Called the customer service (very very nice service by Sidney), short waiting, and new chain is on the way, covered by warranty. Can't wait to go out again because this bike is so good. Bought it from Amazon just before the price increased by about 10% so very happy. 2 months delivery at the time of order but was delivered in 3 week.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bike review after two month
It's a great bike for the price if you track the price over time. The price fluctuates quite a bit and I was fortunate to pull the trigger when it dropped to $530. At this price point, I don't think you can find anything similar feature and quality-wise.
Positives:
1. Bike is shipped primarily pre-assembled, so the remaining assembly takes around 30 minutes. The manual is somewhat useless and confusing as it walks you through the assembly process from the scratch. Rather than wasting your time reading it, watch a few short YouTube videos if anything isn't clear
2. It's a good quality bike that will gracefully handle some beating. Shimano EZ shifters are great at changing your gears rapidly and precise to help you tackle different types of terrain, mechanical breaks are excellent, 29' wheels let you build some serious speed and the aluminum frame feels light enough
3. Lastly, the paint job is sharp. Perhaps, it's one of the better looking bikes I owned
Some negatives:
1. Front suspension is fine but cannot be adjusted.
2. Optical gear display shifter shows a red line indicating your gear position. The only numbered gears are "1" and "8", leaving you to guess the gear you're on if you ride on middle gears. I find it annoying that they didn't bother with a bit more descriptive indicator.
3. As mentioned in some other reviews, the seat is NOT comfortable. It's ok for a casual ride but gets really uncomfortable during more serious and longer trips. Do consider upgrading your seat at some point.
4. Derailleurs needed some adjustments and brakes too as they were rubbing disks. Not sure if it really counts as negative as some adjustments are expected, but it can take time to figure them out. You may want to take it to the bike shop to save some hassle
Other observations:
Some people complain about pedals coming off. By looking at their photos I am guessing that they put pedals wrong. Make sure to watch a pedal assembly video before you start if you never had to do it before. It is not as straightforward as it seems.
Foot rubbing front tire at slow speeds l if pedals are parallel to the ground. It never happened on my old 26'er but apparently not something unusual for a close-coupled frame bike like this one. it's called 'toe overlap' and becomes a non-issue as you get used to avoiding it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excelente valor por el precio
Mi hijo está feliz. Viene de una Giant r26, y no tiene ninguna queja. Es ligera, los cambios son rápidos, está cómodo con el tamaño (mide 1.73m) y puede seguir creciendo sin necesitar una nueva. Le gustó mucho la respuesta de la suspensión.
Al ensamblarla, hay que tener cuidado con dejar las ruedas bien alineadas. Me tomó un poco de tiempo entender el armado del manubrio, pero en general, el proceso fue razonablemetne simple.
- HardRockFanReviewed in Canada on September 27, 2022
4.0 out of 5 stars Derailleur and brakes are poorly adjusted out of the box. Seat is not very comfortable.
The pros: It's mostly assembled out of the box, the brakes are pretty good, it's comfortable to ride (other than the seat), it looks good, once it's adjusted, it shifts and downshifts really good, it's not too heavy and seems like it will last (but time will tell)
The cons:
The packaging isn't the best, the brake rotors could easily be bent if the box is mishandled during shipping. My box was heavily damaged, thankfuly the only thing that got damaged was the bar the pedal screws into was scratches up.
The biggest con: The way it comes adjusted out of the box is pretty bad, I have experience with working on bicycles, but if someone else were buying this bike in the same condition mine came in and didn't have experience, they would have to bring it to a professional to get it sorted.
The front derailleur was the worst, it was set too low and touching the side of the 3rd gear, that would cause it to not shift at all, I raised it a little, then had to spend around 15 minutes to adjust it until it will shift and downshift into all the gears properly.
One of the front brake pads was very far from the rotor, and the other pad was touching the rotor. Easy to fix, but should have been set at the factory.
The rear derailleur could not downshift into first gear. Also easy to fix, but should not have to.
The seat is not comfortable, it's very hard. It was also pointing down, which is not a big deal, since I would have probably adjusted it anyways, but would have made more sense if they put it level, since most people would use it that way.
Not a con, but no allen (hex) wrenches are included, I'm not sure what sizes are required, I have a box of them and found the ones required by trial and error, ended up needing 4 different sizes of them. You'll also need a 15mm wrench for the pedals and a #2 phillips for the front reflector.
My tires were inflated to around 10 PSI, the tires recoment 25 to 40 PSI, so you'll want a bicycle tire pump or air compressor and a tire pressure gauge.
Some things you might also want to buy: bicycle chain and gear lube (finish line 1 step lubricant for example), a bottle holder and bottle (there's a mount on the bike, but no holder is provided with it), a better seat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quality brand name bike for a decent price
I was looking for a reasonably quality hardtail mountain bike, aluminum, disc brakes.
After repeated frustration with a $300 Wal-Mart special (one had a bent crank, the next had a busted shifter--broken plastic bits dripping out of the shifter), and limited stock or crazy prices at the local bike places, I thought I'd give this Amazon Schwinn a try.
Delivery was a nightmare; Amazon said it'd be here in a few days, but after a week and a half, nothing. I finally got ahold of UPS, and they *said* that Amazon only gave them the apartment number and city, so they couldn't deliver it. But there was no indication of that on their tracking site, so I'm a bit suspicious of that explanation. Anyhow, I think I've read other reviews that had shipping issues, so stay on top of that.
Assembly does require some basic bike tuning knowledge, ability to adjust the disc brakes, put a handlebar on, attach the front wheel.
It seems like a quality bike, good size, weight, and Shimano shifters/gears, for a reasonable price. Unless it falls apart this weekend when I go for a longer ride, it seems like a great choice!
