Customer Reviews

Not bad for what it is. You'll need help or experience to assemble it.4
I was intrigued by the endorsement and the fantastic price. I figured it ahead of time for a Dynacraft (Walmart) and it was. As with all Walmart type bikes it was poorly protected in its box and arrived scratched and with a broken brake handle. I'm a bike mechanic so finding a spare handle was no problem and the scratches were cosmetic only.
The bike is pure Walmart quality, meaning standard but functional components. It does have a 3-piece crank and decent Tektro copy brakes however.
Assembly took 45 minutes (unusually long for me) because both rims needed to be trued, the brakes and dérailleurs adjusted and re-torquing of several connectors.
I do like the bike though. It's not as heavy as I thought it would be (sub 30lbs) and rides and handles rather well. It'll be an excellent short-commuter and gravel path bike. It's definitely not for mountain biking but, for what I paid, its not bad at all. And it does have the 'Tony Hawk' logos. Just be prepared to do a lot more than put on a wheel and go for a ride when it arrives.

Good bike4
I received the bike very quickly, it came with instructions for the minimal assembly required as well as the tools needed. The brakes and gears do require some tweaking, many parts had to be loosened and adjusted, and the chain comes without grease. If you are not familiar with bicycle assembly you may be better off taking it to your local bike shop. Once i put it together and made all the proper adjustments i have no complaints. It is a smooth riding bike with a sturdy frame. If there are any problems in the future, the forks/frame have lifetime warranty and all other parts are under a 2 years warranty.
