Excellent

I got this for my son as an upgrade from out growing his previous bike. The store assembled the bike the day after we ordered and called us late morning to tell us when to pick it up.

Paint Is Right On

The shifting, fork, and braking are bit more advanced from old rig Schwinn Axum

Great Beginner's Bike

11yr old son. This bike is excellent for my son who is spending a lot more time outdoors. The bike rides well and is sturdy.

Goid Bike But Came With Manufacturer Flaw

I bought this bike and it was great till the handle bars went one way other than front. Bearing broke on fork as well as thread for bolt. Was told it was a manufacturers flaw.

Beautiful Bike

After using and abusing an incredible GMC bike for a few years, I needed something that was more lightweight and wanted something will a sleeker look. Very minimalist vibe, without taking away from the quality of the bike. Rides very nicely but definitely suggest getting a seat cover for it gets pretty uncomfy quickly.

Great Bike But Didn't Get Certain Parts As Advertised.

I purchased this bike as a beginner rider. After reading reviews and watching videos about this bike i decided to make my purchase. After i got it home and riding it for a week or so i started getting familiar with all the parts of the bike. I have just noticed the derailer on the bike is not the one that was advertised. It is supposed to have the microshift acolyte derailer with a springlock clutch mechanism that uses an allen key and switch to activate the clutch. Which for a budget derailer is highly regarded. The one that i got only has a switch to engage the clutch lock which seems inferior as i have has chain derailment issues even when the clutch is locked into place. I just wish i got what was advertised and feel as though i should have gotten what was advertised.

No Issues

Everything was easy to assemble except the handle bars. Maybe include stickers to follow.

Just What We Needed!

Bought 4 of these bikes during a great sale. Fantastic value, solid components, stylish and everyone is enjoying them.

Bad Service, Never Received Bike

I’m sure the bike itself is great. I ordered the bike online and gave them a few days to assemble it. I called to see if my bike was ready, and they said it was not ready yet but would be either that night or the next day. I confirmed on the phone that I would receive a call when it was ready for pickup. I never received a call to say that the bike was ready for pickup and the order was cancelled automatically. I was not charged, I’m sure the bike is great, but I am not thrilled with the service I received.

Entry Level Worth Upgrading

The Switchback Expert has better frame geometry compared to a Trek Marlin. Up grading the heavy coil spring fork is not a problem with the tapered head tube to a light weight air spring fork will shave 5 lbs. off the bike. The rear wheel hub is a 141mm qr .is a limiting factor. No through axel. You can up grade to a 11 speed on the stock rear wheel. a new rear wheel with a Shimano wh-mt500 hub with microsline free wheel will get you 12 speed. The bike is light and fast and fun to ride. Sale price of $550 is hard to beat.
