From Pioneering BMX to Advancing Mountain Bikes, Mongoose on Top of the Game

Mongoose Bicycles was established in 1974 as the pioneer of bike motocross. The brand was originally designed, manufactured and sold by BMX Products Inc. It separated and merged with Dorel Industries subsidiary Pacific Cycle in 2001. Originally focused on BMX bikes, modern Mongoose brand performance bicycles offer a range of machines, from the original rugged BMX bikes to mountain bikes and trendy, easy-to-use street bicycles. The brand differentiates between its BMX bike line and its Mountain/Urban bike lines. Mongoose mountain bikes have become an especially popular, high-quality line that has been featured in multiple international competitions and ridden by world-famous mountain bikers.

Its Mountain/Urban bikes comprise five separate sub-lines, each catering to different terrain types. The All-Mountain bike line offers the technical capability to traverse serious mountainous terrain, while the Commuter line offers urban riders a smoother ride with higher functionality. The Downhill/Freeride 210mm Boot’r bike is equipped with full suspension, designed specifically for downhill- and free-riders. The Dirt Jump line has 20, 24 and 26-inch Fireball bikes, which are designed for fast and efficient biking. The Hardtail XC bike line for 2011 offers several models for beginner and intermediate riders. The 24-inch Rockadile bikes are “for kids that want to get dirty”, while the Switchback Comp caters more for first-time trail riders. The Tyax models are tailored to intermediate trail riders.

Given the wide variety of Mongoose mountain bikes, it is no surprise that the Company has attracted the interests of many internationally renowned riders. Mongoose mountain bike team members include Chris Akrigg, who uses Mongoose’s Teocali, Maurice and Fireball models for tricks ranging from fixes to downhill. Steve Romaniuk also owns a range of Mongoose bikes to optimize his mountain biking. His rides are the Boot’r, Pinn’r, Nugget, Khyber, Ritual and Fraction models. Amir Kabbani’s freestyling, dirtjumping and slopestyling on his Mongoose Fireball have been featured in many international magazines and competitions. Garett Buehler is another stellar MTB team member, whose gravity-defying stunts have been performed at such top-level competitions as the Red Bull Rampage.

In addition to professional endorsement of Mongoose mountain bikes, customer reviews of the bikes further reflect the quality of the product line. Mountaingoose.com, a review site specifically geared towards Mongoose mountain bikes, provides a platform for all bikers and aspiring bikers to share their knowledge and opinions.

The breadth of the range of Mongoose’s mountain bike lines means that everyone can find a bike that suits their specific needs. The lines offer bikes specifically for children, as the Rockadile models showed, as well frames specially tailored for women. Whether beginning, continuing or advancing a mountain biking career, Mongoose mountain bikes will ensure that riders find the right fit, mechanics and design for them. Wsports is a place where you can find a wide variety of Mongoose BMX bikes for sale.
