Schwinn Bonafide Men and Women Mountain Bike, Front Suspension, 24-Speed, 29-Inch Wheels, 17-Inch Aluminum Frame, Matte Black/Red

Great bike at a great price

The bike looks great. Black and orange colors are very very cool, looks mean. 29" wheels are huge but very light weight. Took some time to figure out the disc brakes but once I figured out how it works, I was able to reseat (wasn't mounted correctly when arrived) and adjusted the power and now very assuring braking power. Seat hurt a lot so bought a new seat at Amazon. Bike is very fast at downhill. Worked nice on snow covered uphill but wished for one more low gear. Now I know why 27 speed is better than 24 speed. Even the frame is only 17" medium, it is big. I'm 6'. With 29" tires, even 17" frame feels like a very big bike. Very tall. Broke the chain after 4-5 uses on about 10 mile trail. Called the customer service (very very nice service by Sidney), short waiting, and new chain is on the way, covered by warranty. Can't wait to go out again because this bike is so good. Bought it from Amazon just before the price increased by about 10% so very happy. 2 months delivery at the time of order but was delivered in 3 week.

I'm real happy with the bike, but after paying all this money I shouldn't have to buy a better seat

This I great bike. I’ve had it for 7 years.

I received the bike today, looks great, easy to assemble. Take it for my FIRST ride and shifting the gears was so loud and unclean/shotty and then went up a hill and the chain snapped. I have product support from Schwinn telling me the next steps but this might be one of the worst products out there. I have a 20 year Trek that never had a chain break. Cheap is not just the price. Update September (purchased in July): I want to update this by saying my bike repair shop has had this bike more than I have. DO NOT PURCHASE. Two chains, a new derailer and now both pedals--I have spent an extra $300 on this bike. It's is VERY cheap!

I have a hard time bike shopping. Being taller with really long legs makes finding a bike that is tall enough, with enough space from the handlebars to clear the knees, semi-challenging. This was a winner. One of the first things I would recommend is taking it to a bike shop after assembly for a "tune-up". It won't cost you much ($15-$20) and they can double check all the things you aren't an expert in adjusting. I feel like this saved me tons of potential future issues. Also fixed my chain slip issue by adjusting chain tension I assume. Overall this bike has been good for trail riding and riding around town. I added a rack to the back and carry baskets on either side for longer trail riding storage or shopping around town, works great. Also upgraded the pedals to these, I don't like my feet to slip off when it's wet/muddy: https://amzn.to/45zGnVu Rack: https://amzn.to/3BXSDBA Baskets: https://amzn.to/3BYduov Headlight/horn: https://amzn.to/3IMRh0l Water bottle holder: https://amzn.to/3IP0iWH

Worked great out of the box. Noticed that some of the midrange gears were jumping. After flipping it over and running the chain I realized that the cable needed a slight adjustment. It's simple to do, just turn the peddles and watch how the chain is running over the gears. The end of the cable (near the derailer) can be turned in/out to get the chain exactly in the middle of the gear. Also found that my toe clip peddles touched the front wheel when going really slow. After reading about it, its something that you just learn to avoid. At faster speeds, its not a problem at all. Having a great time with this bike. Love the 29" wheels. I rode a lot on Schwinn bikes until I was 17. Now at 61 I'm getting back into it for cardio and general endurance. It's great. Highly recommend it.

Good bike for the price; cons: Seat is super hard consider upgrading it, The tires seem kinda cheap Breaks squeak a lot Front tire rubs with your feet sometimes The bike handles kinda numb Grips dont really grip they shift position constantly Pros Gears come very well calibrated from factory break feel is great Front suspension on point Looks awesome Not very heavy

It's a great bike for the price if you track the price over time. The price fluctuates quite a bit and I was fortunate to pull the trigger when it dropped to $530. At this price point, I don't think you can find anything similar feature and quality-wise. Positives: 1. Bike is shipped primarily pre-assembled, so the remaining assembly takes around 30 minutes. The manual is somewhat useless and confusing as it walks you through the assembly process from the scratch. Rather than wasting your time reading it, watch a few short YouTube videos if anything isn't clear 2. It's a good quality bike that will gracefully handle some beating. Shimano EZ shifters are great at changing your gears rapidly and precise to help you tackle different types of terrain, mechanical breaks are excellent, 29' wheels let you build some serious speed and the aluminum frame feels light enough 3. Lastly, the paint job is sharp. Perhaps, it's one of the better looking bikes I owned Some negatives: 1. Front suspension is fine but cannot be adjusted. 2. Optical gear display shifter shows a red line indicating your gear position. The only numbered gears are "1" and "8", leaving you to guess the gear you're on if you ride on middle gears. I find it annoying that they didn't bother with a bit more descriptive indicator. 3. As mentioned in some other reviews, the seat is NOT comfortable. It's ok for a casual ride but gets really uncomfortable during more serious and longer trips. Do consider upgrading your seat at some point. 4. Derailleurs needed some adjustments and brakes too as they were rubbing disks. Not sure if it really counts as negative as some adjustments are expected, but it can take time to figure them out. You may want to take it to the bike shop to save some hassle Other observations: Some people complain about pedals coming off. By looking at their photos I am guessing that they put pedals wrong. Make sure to watch a pedal assembly video before you start if you never had to do it before. It is not as straightforward as it seems. Foot rubbing front tire at slow speeds l if pedals are parallel to the ground. It never happened on my old 26'er but apparently not something unusual for a close-coupled frame bike like this one. it's called 'toe overlap' and becomes a non-issue as you get used to avoiding it.

Mi hijo está feliz. Viene de una Giant r26, y no tiene ninguna queja. Es ligera, los cambios son rápidos, está cómodo con el tamaño (mide 1.73m) y puede seguir creciendo sin necesitar una nueva. Le gustó mucho la respuesta de la suspensión. Al ensamblarla, hay que tener cuidado con dejar las ruedas bien alineadas. Me tomó un poco de tiempo entender el armado del manubrio, pero en general, el proceso fue razonablemetne simple.

En términos generales la bicicleta es buena, ligera, ágil, se siente bien armada. El detalle viene en los componentes, son básicos. A la semana de haberla comprado, con no más de 100 km recorridos se rompió el eje de la llanta trasera (200 pesos). Las balatas del freno tracero son algo "malas" por lo que compre unas Shimano (400 pesos) En una semana de uso ya le he invertido 600 pesos en refacciones, cosa no se espera que sucedan tan pronto. Cabe recalcar que no le doy un uso rudo. Mayormente sobre asfalto, algunos lados con empedrado y otros en terracería (como muestro en la foto) Les recomiendo que quien compre la bicicleta la lleve al taller de confianza para que les digan que le pueden cambiar, antes de que pasen un mal rato en plena rodada.

Bike is good for the price. Definitely a solid bike for $600 CAD. Frame is well built and components are of good quality. Definitely not for a hard core mountain biker... but solid for a daily rider. Assembly takes no more than 30 minutes. I did have to do some fine tuning on the Brake setup and gear/derailleur which is definitely something requiring a little higher skill level then the typical assembly procedure. However, nothing a little research and trial/error can't solve. If you're not mechanically confident, take it to a bike shop to assemble for another 50-60 bucks. Important note, the shocks are NOT adjustable, for those of you wondering and they are a little soft for my personal preference. Also, the seat it very mediocre. I'll be replacing it shortly. The Bike fits me great, and I am about 6 foot 235 LBs. Also, a quick note about shipping. Most people said they received the bike in the expected 3-5 days. Mine took about 1 month to receive even though there was stock. The shipping was pushed back 3 times and was very annoying although within the max time frame provided. Definitely worth the buy for the price, but I will likely look to upgrade the seat ASAP and the shocks next year.

Ignore all negative reviews, this bicycle is more than great for the price, if you want to do actual mountain biking, then soon you should start thinking on upgrading the shock absorber, and maybe the seat, else this bike will survive more than you think. I dont think you might find a better one for this price.Not heavy in weight, good quality, smooth, and easy to assemble (30 minutes max)
