The Mongoose Montana Women’s bike arrived in a timely manner. It was easy to assemble. It is lightweight yet sturdy. The seat is can be removed or adjusted without tools. I ride it to work and for errands. It goes smoothly over unpaved areas. I have not done any serious trail riding with it. I thought it was a good buy for the money. And it’s kind of pretty, too!

Uncomfortable. The bike comes with the hardest seat I have ever sat on! Also, the way the seat is so far above the handle bars, or Mongoose Montana Womens Mountain Bike seems that way, makes my wrists hurt.

Can’t say enough bad things about this bike.. I ride about 5 miles a day from home to school and back. Very flat, good weather, easy ride, and I’m not huge or anything. I figured a cheap bike like this would last a year, and then I’d upgrade. I’ve had Mongoose Montana Mens Mountain Bike a month, and there have been a number of problems.
In general, the parts are flimsy. The seat post clamp won’t prop up the seat. The handlebars are loose because the bolt that holds them comes loose. The bike feels like it’s off balance. Also, while making sharp turns, my toes scrape the front tire. Biggest problem – pedals made of really weak plastic that actually ripped. Drivetrain, shifters, and brakes OK so far, but I’m not expecting much.
Do NOT buy this bike if you expect to ride it on a daily basis. Spend 2X or 3X more and get better quality components.
