Best Mongoose Bikes

Mongoose Legion L60 20" Wheel Freestyle Bike

Lightweight enough for BMX stunts and tricks, but we recommend replacing the original inner tubes first. Sturdy construction and high weight capacity for adult riders.

Very easy to assemble and tune. Not as heavy as traditional Mongoose models. Frame is stylish and sleek, easy to maintain.

Original inner tubes are not high quality. Not durable enough for heavy "trick" riding. No kickstand provided.

Massif Boy's 20" Fat Tire Bike

A heavy cruiser, not a BMX stunt bike or sprinter. Younger children may find it difficult to pedal, but older riders will enjoy its impressive design and all-terrain performance.

Heavy duty construction, will handle difficult terrain. Assembly only requires one Allen wrench. 7-speed Shimano gear system.

May not arrive with assembly instructions. Some critical parts are plastic, not metal. Very heavy, challenging for younger riders on steep terrain.

Best Bang for the Buck

Bmax Boy's Fat Tire Bike, 20"

For younger riders who want the stunt capability of a BMX and the versatility of a trail bike.

Combines elements of off-road and BMX bikes. Designed for younger riders, but adults can ride, too. Rugged construction. 20" fat tires can handle a wide variety of terrain.

Assembly can be very challenging. Brake components are not high quality. Handlebars remain loose even after adjustments.

Girl's LSX Bicycle, 20"

The LSX girl's Mongoose is not designed for stunts or racing, but it does provide a smooth ride over flat and moderately hilly terrain. We suggest upgrading the braking system for younger riders.

Frame is very sturdy, provides a smooth ride. Extremely easy to assemble with minimal tools. Adjusts easily to growing riders. Great price for a genuine Mongoose.

Paint has durability issues. Some critical components made from cheaper material. Single rear hand brake system, not ideal for younger riders.

Girl's Maxim Full Suspension Bicycle, 24"

While some younger riders may find it a bit heavy, the aluminum frame provides a lot of stability and durability. Arrives almost fully assembled, and major parts can be easily upgraded or replaced if necessary.

Easy to assemble straight out of box. 21 gear derailleur and suspension fork provide easy, comfortable ride. Size is good for both youth and adult riders.
