5 Stars Great Beginner Bike
I’ve had this bike for about 3 months now and I’ve taken it on a couple good trails like the Fullerton Loop, Fullerton CA (11 mile ride with mixed terrain of dirt and street riding) and Marshall Canyon (uphills and about a beginner/intermediate), San Dimas CA.
The parts are great and the hydraulic breaks are wonderful. Truly a great starter bike and worth upgrading as you go along. It is a little wide at the handle bars but it’s a solid bike and takes a good beating. I’ve dropped it, crashed it and all of it’s parts are still running well. The gear shifts a little slow when coming down from third to second, but it usually transitions pretty well.
This bike comes highly recommended from me. I don’t think I could’ve gone with anything better at the level I’m at. Buy it! Ride it! Enjoy it! It’s a good investment.
4 Stars Excellent bike for the money
I have had my MONGOOSE OTERO SUPER BIKE ‘08 for a few weeks, and it has been on a few trails (one intermediate and one diamond). The bike held up very well, but the front fork is now squeaking for some unknown reason. I am impressed with the components, as they all seem to work fine. The bike is strong and stable, and the hydraulic brakes are awesome. Hopefully the front shocks won’t become a problem in the future.
