Mongoose Domain Men’s Dual-Suspension Mountain Bike (26-Inch Wheels)

The 21-speed Mongoose Domain all-terrain bike is built to handle the toughest trails in the mountains, across the desert flats, and throughout the urban jungle. Ideal for the intermediate rider for everyday use–either men or women, 5 feet or taller–it offers a full (or dual) suspension, which adds a heavy-duty shock absorber to the back wheel, in addition to the front fork suspension. Full suspension provides more comfort and greater control as you attack the trails. Other features include a lightweight aluminum-alloy frame, nimble racing suspension fork, SRAM ESP 3.0 grip shifters and rear derailleur, and large, chunky tires for rough trails and other rugged surfaces.

Key Features:

• Alloy front triangle dual-suspension frame is more lightweight than a standard steel frame and provides good shock absorption on bumps, rocks, and rougher terrain
• Racing suspension fork allows for a smoother and faster ride than a traditional bike fork
• Flat ATB handlebar with stem and bar ends offers multiple riding position options
• SRAM ESP 3.0 rear derailleur works much better than an entry-level shifting derailleur
• Alloy handbrake levers are more durable and have a more stylish finish
• Forged-steel three-piece crank offers better pedaling performance and is much more lightweight
• 26- by 1.95-inch arrow tires are ideal for use on the road, bike trails, and offroad use
• 21-Speed SRAM ESP 3.0 shifting system offers efficient and precise shifting
• Front and rear alloy linear pull brakes provide sure stopping power

Mongoose Domain Men’s Dual-Suspension Mountain Bike (26-Inch Wheels) Review

Can you use this for serious or professional outdoor mountain biking? Probably not. Do I plan to do that? No. If I did, I’d cough up $1000 and purchase a more serious bike to do that. Do I think this bike is worth the one hundred dollars I paid for it? ABSOLUTELY! Would I purchase it again for one hundred dollars? ABSOLUTELY. For the money, I think it’s a great recreational bike. I will use this bike probably 5 times a week for about an hour or two at most riding around the neighborhood and nearby bike trails. So for me, it’s more than adequate. I don’t need anything more expensive currently. All in all, I’m quite satisfied with the bike for the money. I wholeheartedly give it 5 stars given the price I paid–less than one hundred dollars.

I do have one concern with this bike. I haven’t been able to raise the front handle bars to a higher level. I have to lean/hunch down too far to ride it as of now. I need to get this fixed and it should be a very nice ride given the amount I paid. This has more to do with me figuring out how to raise the handle bar than the design of the bike. I’m certain it’s possible to raise the handle bar, but I haven’t figured it out just yet.
