Amazon.com Product Description

The Mongoose Strike boy's BMX bike is an ideal ride for junior freestyle riders. The bike is equipped with a handcrafted high-tensile steel frame and fork, giving riders good control whether riding on trails or the street. The bike also includes sure-stopping front and rear caliper brakes and extra-wide 2-inch tires that roll smoothly over both pavement and grass. And thanks to the cross bar pad and screened jump saddle--which includes bumper guards for protection--the Strike is safe and stylish. Other details include two-piece freestyle bars with an alloy four-bolt stem, 48-spoke alloy rims, a one-piece crank with a 44t steel cutout chain wheel, and two front axle pegs.

About Mongoose
In 1974, BMX Products, Inc., later to be known as Mongoose Bicycles, launched from a humble garage. The first of its kind, the BMX bicycle was named after bicycle motocross and was designed to fit the needs of the rough-and-tumble dirt-racing pastime that took its toll on wheels and bicycles. The heavy-duty, one-piece cast-aluminum Mongoose Motomag wheel was soon born, and it was the first competition-ready BMX bicycle available. Skip Hess, while in Australia pursuing his motor sports passion, came into contact with a strange and unusual cat-size animal--the mongoose. Known for its passive nature while unprovoked, yet vicious and aggressive enough to kill a threatening Cobra twice its size, the Mongoose impressed Hess, who quickly registered the Mongoose trademark for his new bicycle racing frame.

The Expert BMX bicycle model, which is still a cornerstone of the Mongoose BMX line today, was introduced in 1980. Shortly after, Mongoose captured the first ever ABA National #1 Cruiser Title. Previously known for the 20-inch bicycle, this title signaled the re-direction of Mongoose bicycles to larger-wheeled, adult-sized models. Several years later, Mongoose continues to dominate the cruiser racing circuit with six National No. 1 Cruiser titles, leading to the introduction of adult-sized Mongoose all-terrain bicycles (ATBs).

In 1992, Mongoose pioneered the full-suspension market with the introduction of the Amplifier. This design is still the most-copied suspension design in the market. Several year later, Mongoose launched the Newman adult bicycle frame, which is proven to be 15% stronger than any other bike frame in the market. The design, while functionally sound, also raised eyebrows because of its distinctive look.

In the next few years, Mongoose increased its marketing focus to dominate the bicycle industry, and more important, extend beyond it. The Mongoose brand marketing initiative makes more than 100 million impressions. Mongoose’s brand awareness increased by over 130% in 1999 and solidifies the No. 2 market share position in units and dollars. Mongoose was acquired by Pacific Cycle, LLC, and continues to grow and prosper with more than 40 models of BMX, mountain, trail, freestyle, jumping, comfort, road, and cyclocross bikes.

2.0 out of 5 stars Dissapointed as a parent but Son REALLY WANTED this Mongoose, April 16, 2010

Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
My son spent his own money on this bike, he is 8, even paid the extra $'s to get it overnighted. Below is my "experience" out of the box.

PACKAGING (External) - ceived the box today, and YEP, SHIPPING/Packaging issues. The rear axel was poking out the side of the box. All box staples were ripped out, but really bad tape had replaced them, box in bad shape, etc. The WORST was that on every surface of the box in big letters it says DO NOT LAY FLAT... well our FEDEX guy clearly cannot read, cause it was laying outside our garage door FLAT. Immediately went online to amazon and reported packaging issues on the Orders page, hope to hear SOMETHING from Amazon on this...

Packaging (Internal) - Some heavy paper/light cardboard partially wrapped and taped around. Zip tie holding front wheel to the frame. Bad part is that some of the "misc"/shipping parts (like a green platic "cover" that goes over the axel nuts to protect them during shipping) were not in place but... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazon needs to repackage this for shipping!, December 30, 2009

Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
We were hesitant to order this bike based on feedback, but no stores had it in stock and my daughter really wanted THIS bike. I am pleased to report that we had all the parts and were able to assemble it. We did have to take one wheel to the local bike shop to loosen a nut for installation because it required a specific bike tool. We also had help from someone who is an expert biker, and we would have spent much more than the 1 1/2 hrs if we didn't have this help.

Amazon ships this in the original box which is NOT designed for shipping and when FedEx delivered it, I was very concerned. The box had rips and damage all over and had duct tape holding it on.

I can't believe that they don't repack this item after all the reviews.

Even with teh condition of the box, we didn't have any damage. I am surprised. I've ordered a lot of stuff from Amazon and I've never seen something arrive like this. I hope that they will figure out a better way to send it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Packaging terrible, bike decent., January 8, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
I read the other reviews before buying, so I was aware of the packaging complaints. But, like others who wrote, my son really wanted THIS bike, and I needed to have it quickly for his birthday in January. I've had good experience with Amazon before, and so I took the risk. I mean, what were the chances of it happening to me too?

Quite high as it turns out. The bike arrive on time in a box that was virtually destroyed. Both sides had been punched through and repaired with yards of clear packing tape somewhere along the way. Some small parts inside the box may have been lost. We haven't tried to assemble the bike yet, so I don't know if we have everything we need. The frame and wheels look undamaged so we may be OK.

The large panels on the box need to be reinforced or padded so that the frame of the bike doesn't punch through during loading, transport and storage. I have never in my life had any item arrive with packing in that condition. It was almost... Read more
