Mongoose bicycles: mountain for beginners and sports for women

Mongoose bicycles (the US manufacturing country) are known far beyond their homeland. The production is currently headed by a man named Skip Hess. The firm has gained wide enough popularity throughout the world. What caused this popularity? One of the factors can be called the creation and sale of cast wheels for bicycles, which can not be more suitable for extremals. They are made mainly of aluminum. The company began functioning in the late twentieth century. More precisely, in the seventies.

History of creation

In the eighties Mongoose bicycles were released as a line of BMX-bikes. In 1984, the first mountain models saw the light. Superbly they proved themselves thanks to the excellent quality of some components, as well as frames. Many models of the brand had structural innovations, which, according to the buyers, were quite useful. The pride of the company can be rightly called the contract with the legendary star BMX-sport John Tomack, according to which the man took part in the development of new bicycles. Bicycles Mongoose, reviews about which are positive, have gained popularity largely thanks to this cooperation. It can not be said that the reputation of the legendary sportsman played an exceptional role. Most likely, to achieve stunning results the company was successful because John as no one knew better what and how to do in order that the new model of a bike or a bike turned out almost flawless. As a result, it turned out that the Mongoose bicycle, whose manufacturer knew a lot about the choice of materials for production, soon brought the first gold in the championship series Norba to his rider. By the way, there were only ten such situations in the history of the firm's existence, except for similar speeches in the framework of other events.

Mountain bicycles "Mongoose"

Thus, the bicycle is more prepared for the passage of long distances in mountain relief conditions. It should also be noted that the "Switch Sport 2013" model comes with mechanical brake brakes.
