Women's Mountain Bikes

Reviews

First of all this bike is a good one, the frame is solid, i liked the suspension and best of all it was below 200 so i had money left for some lights a helmet and a security chain. (extra stuff) Then after reading all the reviews about having it tuned, i thought it was the best thing to do and you guys weren't wrong. Thanks for the advice. Finally got my bike and.. My first ride was a nightmare, the seat, i can't say enough bad things about it. You MUST replace it. It's really hard and uncomfortable. I'm 200lb heavy and had pain for a week with just 1 day of use.. beware. Also the pedals are very low quality and very slippery, you will want to change them if you plan on using the bike offroad. And finally the worst, the rear derraileur broke after only 10 minutes of usage. And by broke, i mean 1 gear fell off and 3 got loose. It became unusable. WHAT? i know this bike is cheap but it doesn't mean the parts have to be low quality, it should mean it just doesn't have as much features as the other expensive bikes. So i took it to the shop again. Instead of ordering a replacement derraileur from the manufacturer (would be the same LQ thing) i bought a new, better one. Also ordered another seat and pedals so... the bike wasn't 179, it was over 230. After this modifications the bike is better BUT don't buy this bike thinking you won't need extra parts. YOU WILL, specially the seat. So consider this before deciding on this one just because of the price. If it keeps giving me trouble i will just return it and never buy a cheap kent bike again.

The bike arrived completely fine. While assembling it i had to go buy a wrench that i didn't have and the tires did not have the required pressure so i went out to buy a bike air pump. After the assembling was finished (the instructions are not that great, specially the part that involves setting up the brakes for the front wheel)i started to ride the bike After thirty minutes of use, a part of the gear that holds the chain broke off... I have now returned the bike to amazon and i am waiting for a refund According to the reviews here the bike is pretty good, so i am sure i just got unlucky I went out to a retail store and bought a daimondback mountain bike instead together with a two year warranty so i do not have to worry about the bike breaking down on me again...

This was supposed to be a great Christmas gift for my son. I will condense the story so not to bore anyone. Took bike out of the box and began minor assembly (petals, handle bar, front tire) no big deal except there was a missing nut for the front wheel (now a big deal as the weather is beautiful and my son wants his new bike)(who wouldnt!?!?!). Wait a week. Received incorrect parts (seriously????). Installed a matching nut from a friends old bike (problem solved). We took the bike outside, aired-up the tires and let him go(HOOORAY!!!). He rode approximately 50 ft and shifted down to 1st gear to climb back up a small hill and a horrible crunching sound was heard. The derailer(sp?)(the thing that changes gears on the rear wheel) caught on the spokes an now is twisted sideways and is lodged in the spokes. Called the manufacturer again. They said they would be happy to replace the damaged parts. I'm not a mechanic no do I intend to learn to be one. I can handle some assembly but if the factory can't handle proper derailer installation, what makes you think I can????? I told them this was not acceptable and I would like to return this bike for a replacement. The person on the phone said someone would call me back "right away". They have my phone number and address and they have made no attempt to contact me as of this note (I have waited a week). To sum it up, DONT BUY THIS BIKE!!! - DONT BUY ANY "KENT" BIKE unless you're a mechanic and don't mind fixing manufacturing problems.

This is one of the best buys on the market today. I has everything many bikes that cost $600 plus have and some extras.

First and foremost, this bike cost $179 so you can't expect high grade quality components on this dual suspension mountain bike. I received the bike pretty quick (less than a week) and it is packaged in one box. The packaging was great but there was a part of the frame that has a small rough patch of scratch to it. It didn't really matter to me since it is a cheap bike after all. Putting the bike together was very simple, I didn't even need the manual that came with it, even if you do need the manual it doesn't really go over your Kent Shogun bike. It's more like generally. I think setting up the brakes might take a while since my brakes are never tight enough like someone mentioned by one of the reviewers but I don't really ride this fast on this bike anyway. The bike is made of aluminum material that is supposedly lighter. I test ride it and was extremely comfortable thanks to its dual suspension although I did switch the seats to a more comfy on. It comes with a kickstand. The shifters aren't really that great. Max of 40 psi tires. Quick release only on the seat. The only thing I didn't like was I don't have any good place to put my U lock on the bike frame. Overall I expected what I paid for. I will purchase a trek hybrid once this one breaks down.
