Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Get off the beaten path when biking in the great outdoors with the strong>Pacific Stratus Men's Mountain Bike (26-Inch Wheels). The Stratus is equipped with steel mountain frame geometry, along with sure-stopping front and rear steel caliper brakes. The strong>Pacific Stratus Men's Mountain Bike (26-Inch Wheels) Torque Drive 15-gear thumb shifters, meanwhile, help you change gears quickly while on the move. Other features include a mountain handlebar and stem, a one-piece MTB crank, and steel wheels for control and durability.
The price is excellent. What I wanted was something for my 8 year old to get used to the idea of shifting and being able to climb those steeper hills. The good news is my son loves it. Here are some problems to look out for.
It is not shipped well. Pacific Stratus Men's Mountain Bike (26-Inch Wheels) comes in an unprotected box and arrived at my house all beat up and was missing a small plastic plug that fits in the top of the front suspension. The box had holes in it, so no telling where that ended up, anyway it could've been much worse. The rear derailleur was slightly bent during shipping. The brakes Pacific Stratus Men's Mountain Bike (26-Inch Wheels) needed adjusting and a good bit of assemply was required. You need to be a bit of a handyman to put it together.
Also, for shorter riders (like my son) the top cross bar is too high and you can't adjust the seat enough.
I went down to the new 'Dicks' sporting goods store to check out their bikes after I bought this off amazon. 'Dicks' had a Diamondback with these features (minus the dual suspension which really isn't needed for a kid) for $89.00 and it was much, much better quality. I was really kicking myself for not spending the extra money, because it was much safer bike to. My son had a pretty bad wreck because the Pacific Stratus Men's Mountain Bike (26-Inch Wheels) failed coming down a hill (he was fine, but it scared me and twisted alot of the bike up), this was mostly due to my poor brake adjustment and he was new to handle bar brakes. Anyway, that diamondback is also much better to adjust for different heights and is especially good for shorter 12 year olds. Plus that diamondback had excellent shimano components for durability etc.
Well, Pacific Stratus Men's Mountain Bike (26-Inch Wheels) if you really can only spend $89, this is a good bike, but for the extra $70, you can get an awesome bike that will last for many years.
