Mongoose Title 24 BMX Race Bike, 24-inch Wheels, Beginner or Returning Riders, Lightweight Tectonic T1 Aluminum Frame and Internal Cable Routing

I have not been on a BMX bike in 25 years. My 4 yr old started racing this season, and she is so fast on her Mongoose Title Micro I had to upgrade from the mini schwinn stingray I would ride with her to something that could keep up with her. I dont plan on racing this bike, more just to cruise with the kid and use the bike to demonstrate and teach the kid. I always wanted a 24" BMX and now I have a reason to get one! The bike was packed well. I wouldn't really say it is a beginner bike, as traditionally a person would start BMX racing at an age this bike would be to big to ride, but I guess in todays world 30 is the new 20 so I guess 20 is the new 10? I am 5'8 and this bike fits me just fine. Being a life long bike rider I knew if I wanted to cruise the hood a new seat and post was needed so I ordered that at the time of the bike. Also the crank set is pretty heavy, useable, but heavy and when racing light is right! The bottom bracket has sealed cartridge bearings. The peddles are of the cheap plastic variety. I replaced the bottom bracket, crankset with a hollow tech style, and what a huge weight saving. I also ordered some fancy aluminum peddles, and installed it all right out of the box. You will need to remove the chain guard, and reflectors. The headset is integrated sealed bearings, and very nice quality. The wheels are ok, not sealed cartridge bearings, but they work. The brake, and lever are usable, no plastic parts. I gave a 4 for beginners, as it is on the heavy side for a race bike out of the box. I also ordered a set of chain tensioners, which all race bikes/single speeds should have. There was once a time you could only find Mongoose in bike shops, and they were of top quality. This bike is no different. This is NOT a Wal-goose!! This is a great starter bike, that can be upgraded. I will say this bike is pretty quick, I did not ride it with the factory crank set, seat or post. The bike rolls very well on the stock rims and tires. Some more weight could be lost by swapping the stem, bars, forks, and even wheelset, but if you are a beginner it isnt the most important thing. Its more important to learn technical skills. You can always upgrade this bike as you move up in race class. I did save the crankset for a later project as I am sure I will need a BMX Feestyle/dirt jumper soon enough to work with the kid down the road. I did think abut buying the Title Pro Elite 24, but I think you can build a bike just as good or better at lower cost with this frame. I believe the two bikes come with the same wheel set, the Elite has a CroMo fork and Bars, and I have seen most people eventually upgrade the Elite forks to carbon, which you can also do with this frame. Even with replacing the bottom bracket, crank, and chain wheel to a comparable hollow tech setup i'm still below the cost of the Elite. I have found some carbon forks, and even with that set of forks I would be coming in about the cost of the elite before tax and shipping. Again I am not planning on racing this bike, but it does fly around the track and is making me think twice about it!! I would buy this bike again, and it is early in the BMX season, so I would assume the demand will drop off come late fall, so that maybe a good time to consider a purchase if you can wait that long

Exceeded expectations - a great bike for an adult.

Es buen producto muy ligera, sin embargo las zapatas de los frenos son de muy baja calidad ua que rechinan muchisimo tal vez les haga falta un poco de uso, y el asiento en verdad es muy incomodo ya que no se puede mover es fijo.

My son got the 24". The bike came very well packaged and mostly assembled. The only assembly needed was the front tire, handle bars, seat, and pedals. It was very easy! The only complaint is that the seat is uncomfortable and the tilt is non-adjustable, but the bike is beautiful, high quality, and rides great. My son loves it!

On my 2nd bike (thanks to Amazon Prime for the no hassle shipping of a new one)... but both are likely going back. It makes such a loud knocking noise from the rear hub or bearing or whatever it's called. Read other reviews, not just me. Mongoose was very slow to respond, and only offered up to a $30 repair with an invoice as proof. No bike shops here would take it on as it was too much of a "small" job... they can make more doing other jobs and they all said $30 wouldn't cover it.
