Schwinn Traxion Mountain Bike for Adult Men Women, 29-Inch Wheels, Full Suspension, 24-Speed Shimano Drivetrain, Trigger Shifter, 18-Inch Aluminum Frame, Mechanical Disc Brake, Matte Grey/Neon Green

This is a pretty nice bike. There is some assembly required but its just the easy steps. Quality is very good. The shock absorbers feel great. The shifting mechanism is a little clunky but does give you the gears you need and the weight of the bike when considering its size and the steel alternatives out there makes it worth the money over other budget bikes.

The order stated 3 day shipping and it took 6 days, but more importantly FedEx delivered the box all tore up with bottom flaps wide open and the box of pedals lying on the ground outside of the main carton. The bike suffered several deep scratches that really bummed me out! I decided to live with it as I hate to send things back unless I have to. Other than that the bike is very nice at this price point and would have received 5 stars from me if it wasn't damaged, despite the slow arrival. It went together very easily, but did need rerouting of the cables which could not be completely untangled as well as some minor tuning. I also replaced the skinny rock hard seat with a super comfortable TONBUX seat that almost matches the color perfectly (best $20 I ever spent!). It rides like a dream on the rough dirt and rocky mountain roads near my house, the full suspension and big 29" tires really soak in the bumps, very smooth. I am very pleased with the overall performance of the bike so far, it shifts very quickly up and down and the disk brakes are strong. I am 5'9" tall / 185 lbs. and the bike has plenty of seat adjustment left, I would say it will handle up to a 6'2" rider, but not much shorter than 5'8" comfortably. I would highly recommend this bike to anyone that is NOT interested in hard core wide open down hill mountain trail riding. I am sure the bike can handle any trail at controlled speeds, but sustained high speed down hill mountain trail riding needs more bike than this, i.e. hydraulic brakes & better suspension, or in other words spending at least double or triple what this bike cost. At under $400 dollars it is a great bike. UPDATE: After several long rides on very rocky mountain roads and trails I just had to change my rating from 4 to 5 stars. This bike is that nice, and it didn't seem fair to down grade the rating due to slow poor FedEx service. 18 MONTH FOLLOW-UP: Loving this well made Schwinn! Have many miles of very hard riding on it now and it is holding up well. Zero issues and still functioning perfectly. There is a slight amount of seepage at the front forks but that is normal. I have just about worn out the tires but that is after a lot of miles, most of which were ridden on rough rocky roads with zero flats. Overall this bike is a winner. Well worth the current price. MARCH 30, 2021 UPDATE: Just purchased a 2nd Traxion for my wife; after she borrowed mine she had to have one. This one arrived in perfect condition via UPS. Had to fine tune the brakes and shifters but that is easy. The people here having pedal/crank problems are causing the problem themselves by installing them dry and severly over tightening them. Put a little grease on the threads and take them down to just beyond finger tight. They are threaded opposite of the crank rotation and will not back out, and if you ever need to replace them they'll come out easily without seizing or galling. Great bike for the money!

Got the bike used from Amazon, and it had Microshift drive components so I think it was picked at by the first buyer before they returned it. Amazon gave credit and made it right, so I replaced the cheaper components with Shimano from the midrange groupset and and that gave the shifting and pedaling a really good feel. The front shock is noticeably not very good, all spring and no dampening or rebound control...or even preload adjustments. Rear shock also has no dampening or rebound, but you can at least adjust preload and the 1000lb spring is stiff enough to not notice the springiness (think thats a word, lol). So, because I really wanted a nice Schwinn trail bike, I replaced the fork and back shock with adjustable air shocks, and put Acera lvl brake calipers with 180 discs... After these upgrade it became a really good bike ;-) Photos show the progress as I went, latest are the ones with the Fox Float R rear shock installed. And yeah, very well worth it IMO... even though I had to do some tinkering. Bike hadles knarly trails with ease and is a joy to ride now!

This is a great bike and comes a lot more assembled then I was expecting, I wish the front shock was adjustable but that’s my only plight. Shipping took a while but corona screwed up a lot more then shipping times for everyone so life happens, when it finally showed up I assembled it in about an hour making sure to check break and gear lines that were already adjusted almost perfectly then toor through a Northern California mountain trail, it’s perfectly responsive and the shock system is super good to my deteriorating knees for everything that I put it threw. It cruises so smooth and effortlessly on pavement and it’s large tires handle large rocks and other sketchy obstacles with ease. I was not nice to this on my first couple rides cause I needed to know if it can handle more serious trails in my area without throwing me off a cliff which happens to people a lot more often in my area then It should but that’s the risk of a lot of out door rec in a volcanic park. To some up this is the best bike I have ever owned and could easily go for more, for my time my money and my riding experience I would 100% recommend this awesome bike. The seat is awesome for a man and my boyfriend uses and enjoys it on his mountain bike but I have a female pelvis and it just doesn’t fit my body, no big deal I have a nice bike seat that’s transferred to the original seat most seamlessly

Update still going. Got close to 100miles on it. Not bad at all. A few things I had to do. Adjust the back derailed. And had adjust the front brake. The seat I’m not sugar coat it. Is rough on the bottom. And any down hill coasting be careful. I way about 220lbs and was a inch from maxing front forks. Other then that did well after a total of 10miles of a trail and climbing 900ft up in evaluation and back down. With some hills pretty steep. Still not a bad but for what u get. Did a 2nd ride on another mountain trail. Climbing 400ft. And doing over 9miles. Still holding up well. Had zip tie the brake cables etc as the plastic c clips stretch. So I’m was hearing something rubbing my rear tire. Then found out what it was and took care of that. I expect few more things as I keep riding. But still not disappointed with my buy. Will keep editing and updating for more ppl know this product. As they did have some crappy reviews for a while.

With the price-gouging going on for bikes during Covid, a Schwinn was all I could afford for my son who grew three inches this year. Seemed like a decent bike at first, but quickly the shifting began to decline. We live a mile away from a singletrack and it became obvious very quickly that this bike cannot handle daily trail use. Every other day, adjustments had to be made. Now, not even two months after purchase, it is unrideable. The derailleur actually bent and went through the wheel and threw my son off head-first. We replaced the derailleur and now it can't complete the upshift without holding your thumb down on the shifter until the shift is completed. The front drive side crank arm almost fell off and now won't fit on the bottom bracket spindle. The bike-repair guy wouldn't even charge me for a tune up because he couldn't get the bike working properly. So, now I have no way to contact the seller, I missed the return window, and I have a $450 POS bike that can't be ridden. Riding on the trails is the only thing that has kept my son happy during this turbulent time. Now I don't know what to do. I can't buy another bike because I don't have a job. Take it from me and don't waste your money.

Great Mountain Bike for the Price Point. I could not afford an expensive full suspension mountain bike thus I thought this would be a good option. I order the bike while it was in "Not Available" mode. They sent me an email to let me know it would available. I got it three weeks, later. The Box was not damaged. It only took me 1.5 hours to assemble. Very easy to assemble(Seat, Handle Bar and Front Tire). Had to make minor adjustmnets to the Front Tire for Brake to not rub. It rides very smooth.

Now its squeaking, I lubed it and cant find the squeak. Lubed chain, suspension and everything. IDK what to do about it. The front shocks are junk, just riding on pavement and hit a little ditch and clunk. Loud. No adjustment available. I know the reviews didn't like them but I mostly ride roads and dirt not mountains I'm 60yo and didn't expect them to be this bad. Kids mountain biking are going to find issues. But I expected them to be fine for an old lady. Im hoping my old Diamondback hard tail front forks will fit, I wanted something that didn't jar my rear and back which this does perfectly. My Diamondback is over 20yr old and the front forks are still perfect and smooth. Still shifts fine, but I wanted suspension on the back. When you read reviews listen.. I didn't want to spend a fortune or buy someone's used trouble. Its a great bike from the neck back. Im just really disappointed in the front forks. I didn't expect them to be this bad.
