What do you think? Does this change your idea of what a Walmart bike can be?

Honestly Schwinn's doing this right; sending them to the right people; free, and letting the bike speak for itself.

I have always told anyone who asked, "If it moves forward when you push down on the pedals, then it's a good bike.". As a former REI sponsored 24 hour mountain bike racer, I think any bike that gets someone out riding is a good bike.

No one should ever look down on someone based on their bike, not should anyone feel intimidated to go hit the trails...I guess snobs abound everywhere, such is the condition of the world now anyways. God bless n great vid brother 👍🙂

I own a $7, 000 enduro bike and I've had people smoke me down trails on $700 hard tails. Anyone judging you based on the cost of your bike is probably wasting most of their money for the sake of appearances. Luckily you see very little of that in the mtb community. Go buy this bike and see for yourself!

I've seen a lot worse for a lot more at bike shops. Not the shops fault, just what the manufacturer offers.

Even cheap Walmart bikes can be decent.
IF when you get it home you regrease ALL bearings, chains, and rollers.
Don't leave it outside in the rain, and check things often.

Since Schwinn used to share store shelf with Specialized back in the day, I would say that Schwinn is starting to find its niche again in the market having lost its way years ago. Lets just say they are on the right path and with a few better components (aka SR Suntour or RST), they are just a few dollars away from a good entry level to a great entry level mountain bike.

I got one last month for my birthday and I simply love it...

The quality of these videos is so astounding dude, this just LOOKS like a popular video

I've had this bike for two months now: I pretty quickly changed the brakes to Shimano MT-200's, saddle, nicer pedals, Rockshox 30 Gold fork, better grips, chain guide in lieu of a clutch derailleur for now. I have two other branded dual suspension bikes that are in the mid 1000s and yes, they have much better rides but I have to give it to Schwinn. They've created The Mustang of mountain biking. Low entry cost for the bike with great possibilities for upgrading/modding. The geometry feels very comfortable, especially with the 2.6 knobbie wheels. No, it's not a Trek Carbon frame bike but c'mon, for the money I am beyond happy especially the way it rides now. All told, with what I've invested, it rides as well or better than bikes that are three times it's price. Now I see why they're hard to find at Walmart.

Man, back in the 70's, Schwinn was the bike king. In my neighborhood growing up, if you didn't have a Schwinn, you basically had nothing! In the town I used to live in, there is still a bike shop that specializes soley in Schwinn! Don't know how well they're doing though. In 2007, I got a Schwinn Cimarron "mountain bike". This is something you wouldn't have want to use on rough trails. It had some inferior parts but I changed those out. I put tires that were good for pavement and dirt roads. I never took it on hard trails. It was mainly a commuter bike. Once I had it set up the way I liked it, it was a good bike to get around. Hopefully Schwinn continues to improve their bikes and stay in the game. This bike you featured is a good bike for a nice casual easy trail rider for those that want to experience off roading.

I remember watching and liking this video when you first released it, a year ago now. I was tempted to make the order at the time, but it didn’t make sense. One year later and I just placed my order for the 2021 Dropper version in red (looks neon orange to me). I’m very excited and I have you partially to thank. Thank you sir!

I like the frame. I went a little crazy on my upgrades. Went from a 500$ James trail X 8 speed tourney. To a 10 speed xtr drivetrain and xtr brakes. Fsa afterburner wheelset titanium handlebar.

[nobodyspecial]

I think the biggest selling point is that you can upgrade/fix this bike. A newbie probably won't notice the short comings, and it would be easy to upgrade the parts one at a time when they start to hold back the rider's skill level. I think $300 in upgrades (fork, derailleur, brakes) would make this a competent trail bike. Compared to just buying a better bike to start with, it's not as cost efficient, but it is much easier to swallow the lower initial purchase price and pay-as-you-go. Especially for someone who is unsure of their commitment to the sport.

I used to ride an 80s schwinn predator when I was a kid. Back before schwinn sold out. This video makes me smile

[zigzagrz]

i'm sold on it, walmart here I come and with my mask on

[Turretschicken]

Picked up one of these in 2022. Been riding BMX. This is my first big wheel bike at 47 years old it's quite the change and adjustment. The seat and reach is the first thing I noticed that will take some getting used to at 6'1" I opted for a shorter stem and taller bars. But I think I'll really enjoy it once I fall into the groove.
Great video. New subscriber 🤘

Question, for roughly $50-100 more you can get either a Giant Talon or Trek Marlin 29er with Hydraulic brakes, better shifters, and overall quality. Is it worth paying a bit more to you?
