Schwinn Rocket Full Suspension Men's Mountain Bike - 16 inch Frame New

Great bike, easy assembly, well worth the price

Strengths: good, solid bike. 24 speed.

Weakness: original seat post is too high, lack of detailed instructions

The booklet that came with the bike provided very little detail on how to assemble the bike. I ended up going to youtube to find a video of how to assemble a bike (even though it is pretty straightforward). This is not your ordinary $100 shopko/target/walmart bike. Even though it is not as good as the much higher end bikes, this compares to my friend's diamondback response. The brakes are upgradable to rotor brakes with additional parts. The suspension on the bike makes riding over bumps and rocks more comfortable. Top speed I was able to get while pedaling on a flat surface was right around 26 mph. The 16 inch frame is bigger than most normal sized 16 inch frames because of the seat height. I had the seatpost cut roughly 1.5 inches to make it seat for me, roughly 5 ft 5 in. Overall, very solid bike for a great price.
