Too Heavy

Not happy with this bike, it is too heavy for a 10-12 year old

Great Quality Bike

I bought this bike for my son who needed to size up. It has great features including disc brakes and front shocks. My kid was so happy. The only downside is that the kickstand size that fits this bike which I had to buy separately doesn’t allow the bike to slightly lean so my kid is always knock the bike over.

Awesome Bike

I bought this for my son’s birthday. He loves it. Great quality. We did have to add a kickstand. Overall, very satisfied.

Great Bike For My Preteen Son

I bought this 24" bike for my 11 year old as his 22" was too small. I'm very happy with this bike so far. Everything came out of the box working very well. Setup was super simple. I made some minor adjustments to the front disc brake to keep it from rubbing. All gears are shifting beautifully. This is a well built bike that also looks really nice and isn't too heavy. Note that there isn't a kickstand but I got a $20 one on Amazon that fits perfectly and is easy to install.

Perfect Bike

Bought this as my son needed a new bike. He is just moving into this size, and this bike will fit him well for multiple years.

Nice Bike

Nice bike…but how does it not come with a kickstand???

Good Overall Bike

My son loves this bike. He does sometimes complain that it skips 2 gears or more when he shifts though.

Horrible Customer Service!!!

We recently had a frustrating experience purchasing this bicycle from Dick's Sporting Goods. We bought the bike a month ago and just now received it. Two weeks ago, my wife called customer service to check on the status of our ship to store order since she had not received a delivery email as expected by that date. The online representative had no clue where the bike was and told us to contact the store directly. Neither the store nor customer service could confirm if the bike had been shipped or what was happening. We called multiple stores in the Richmond, VA area, and no one had any idea where the bike was. One store suggested it might have been shipped to the wrong store, which would explain why it was missing from the inventory system. After multiple calls, one store finally confirmed the shipment but couldn't verify if the bike was actually there. One week later, we called back and were met with the same confusion. Nobody knew where the bike was or if it had even been ordered, much less assembled, and the order number didn’t show up in their system. After another call to customer service, a (very helpful) representative contacted the Brooks Road store in Richmond, VA on our behalf, and confirmed the bike was there—this was a month after we purchased it. When I went to pick up the bike, there was no one in the bike department to help. I eventually found an employee (who did not seem in any way eager to help, had we actually wanted assistance on choosing and purchasing a bike from scratch) who called the manager, with whom we had spoken to on the phone earlier. The manager rolled out the bike and became defensive when I questioned how the company addresses such communication issues and poor service. He acted like he did us a huge favor by finding the bike and resolving the problem, even though it was only due to our persistent efforts. The manager was unprofessional and rude, accusing me of hassling him despite the trouble we had gone through. From our perspective, this was unacceptable customer service. While we appreciated him finding the bike, it only happened because we had pushed through multiple channels. He acted like this was a great accomplishment and that we should be grateful. Better customer service would have involved greeting me professionally, apologizing for the inconvenience, going over the bike with me, ensure further adjustments were not needed, and asking if I had any questions before I even had an opportunity to say anything. I say this as someone who carries their own customer service role in their own profession. Eventually, he offered us a 10% discount, but only after I questioned him and he became annoyed. A 10% discount should have been the bare minimum from the start. This would have brought the price down to around $270, before taxes. When I went to check out, they tried to charge me $438, which is clearly not the listed price per the website. The cashier eventually corrected it once I showed the item on the website but claimed that applying the discount created a glitch in the system, resulting in the wrong price. So if he was aware that the incorrect price came up, why was he trying to proceed with the transaction as if I'm an idiot?! Overall, this experience highlights a systemic problem with Dick's Sporting Goods’ customer service. Despite the helpful assistance from one customer service representative who called the store on our behalf, the company as a whole does not care about customers. They have a broken internal communication system. Their online ordering system is extremely defective. The bicycle itself is nice and it was a good price, but the hassle was almost not worth it. We are not likely to return to Dick's for future purchases.

Great Value, But Be Sure To Assemble Yourself

The bike is solid quality and a great value for the price. Unfortunately the stem was assembled using the incorrect tool and without a proper torque wrench. Snapping the tool off and leaving to be delivered that way. The bike is a gift that needed to be delivered so I will be forced to make repairs and replacements myself.

Decent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 10 year old son was loving this bike but as boys do on bikes he crashed and the back breaks are no longer working. It is a nice bike though. He's still using it.

Bake

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this bike. It was easy to put together. It rides very smooth over bumps. Going up hills are easy to with the gear changing. I would recommend this bike!
