Schwinn High Timber Mountain Bike for Adult Youth Men Women Boys Girls, 24 to 29-Inch Wheels, 7 or 21-Speeds, Front Suspension, Aluminum and Steel Frame Options

This is a great bike and we foresee many years of use. It's sturdy and the individual pieces seem of high quality. My son has had it a few months and it's been good so far. However, as other reviews mentioned, this bike arrives only partially-assembled. You need some bike know-how and special tools to finish putting the bike together. The back wheel is not on, you need to put that on and figure out the gear assembly. Gear assembly needs some finessing to synch and may need additional adjustment to prevent it from catching or slipping. The front wheel was backwards and needed to be removed and flipped in order for the brake tread to work properly and safely. Even if the front wheel hadn't been backwards, it would have still needed to be removed because the brake line was twisted through the frame and couldn't work. If you didn't flip the front wheel and correct the brake line, you would not be able to brake the bike. Basically, it's as if they showed the people handling the partial assembly a picture, but provided no instruction or training in how to put it together. The lack of instruction extends to the buyer as the ones in the box are very unclear. If you don't know how a bike is supposed to work or have the right tools, you will NOT be able to do this yourself. If you know bikes and have a socket wrench set, budget at least an hour to correct and complete the assembly; if you don't, budget at least $100 to have the local bike shop correct and complete the assembly.

Love this bike, it is perfect in size for our 9 year old daughter, and colors are beautiful! I followed measurement guide (google online guide) for wheel sizing. We bought the 24” wheels, steel frame, for 9 yr old with 26” inseam and 55” tall. It is perfect. This would also work for a kid with a 25” inseam and 53”+ tall (our 8 yr old). The bike itself is about 1-2 inches smaller in height than the Mongoose 21 speed Bike with 24” wheels (we liked both!). The seat and handlebars are adjustable but our 9 yr old fits perfectly with both at lowest, leaving room for bike to grow with her. *This took my husband about 90 minutes to assemble but we also removed the front wheel break per safety preference- both hand breaks are still on the handlebars, but only the one controlling the rear wheel break is usable (we just removed the actual front break part from the front wheel of the bike- which was a personal preference:) ). Our daughter loves it, great quality bike. Totally worth the buy and in this case definitely a “you get what you pay for” investment!

This is a very nice bike but I am not giving it 5 stars because of the pedals. The bike comes with cheap petals that do not have an alan bolt on the side. My petal broke and I had a very hard time removing and replacing it.

JUNK! A Walmart Special would compare in quality at a better price! Someone at the Schwinn factory put the rear wheel on so tight, beating the nuts off with a hammer and wrench was the only option. Besides the "High Timber" being so heavy and cumbersome for an aluminum frame, the shift levers are backwards from what one would expect. The right shifter controls the front sprocket, and the left shifter controls the rear sprocket. The front wheel hits my foot whenever I make a turn. Brake levers are also backwards from what I thought was normal. I am not only disappointed in the quality of this bike, but also disappointed in Schwinn as a manufacturer for putting out such a piece of junk. Schwinn use to make good bicycles but based on this bike, their quality is no longer the future and a thing of the past.

It was super easy to assemble and I have had no doubts about how sturdy it is. Solid frame and easy to assemble and Money Well Spent!

I think the bike is very good..I already added a a few aftermarket parts but that's my style and also the bike is very light weight and I'm a big guy roughly 6'2" and around 230 but in a good way lol but I can't wait to ride it and get out there. I put it together without any directions I mean but I've been doing that for a long time but the look is beautiful as you can see and no missing parts everything was in the box so but great bike I was expecting something totally different but I'm actually beyond surprised at the looks and just quality. That's all I got.

La cámara tiene un hoyo... me causara mas gastos

Got the 24" size for my 9 year old and won't need to buy another bike for awhile. This bike checked all the boxes we were looking for: great quality, disk brakes, small frame, light weight material that won't rust. Arrived when expected and was relatively easy to assemble with the directions. Very impressed.

El color coral no se aprecia bien en las fotografias del articulo, pero en persona, es casi fosforecente. El armado fue sencillo, tarde como unos 45 minutos. Lo mas complicado fue el manubrio, oues venia desalineado el eje y tuve que re alinearlo. La llanta delantera viene desensablada y fue facilisimo instalarla con su sistema de montaje y desmontaje rapido de la llanta. El asiento no tuvo mayor problema en su instalacion, tambien fue muy sencillo. Las llantas vienen sin aire, hay que ponerle entre 40-60 PSI. El resultado es una muy buena bicicleta con frenos de disco delanteros y traseros asi como 21 velocidades.

Good

I like the fact that the bike fits for a 5'9 tall guy like me. My wife is 5'5 and she needs to adjust the seat lower. Assembly was good, but had to adjust the brakes and the gear for it wasn't changing.
