Hey Cherokee!! Thank you so much! Please email us at viewersrides@yahoo.com We have a little something something for ya! Sorry for the late reply, we have been on vacation!!
Totally agree with you. Bike should cost, at most, $449 or even $399. I feel that derailleur is definitely messed up. It should not be that loose fir sure. The Axum is still a better deal than this one.
I got the get aggressor for $350. I like the bike so far. Is this one an ok bike for the price? I do feel the tires are a little too fast but it switched gears well and was fun to ride.
Had the same issue on the derailleur popping and changing on me at first on the GT agressor...needed to really sit down and tune the system to get it running smooth but since no issues.
Thanks for the review! I’m 5’3” with a longer torso, so the fit sounds good. Unfortunately it sounds like it needs a new group/crank out of the box, and a new fork soon after.
Honestly the only thing I like about the bike is the color. It is overpriced and the lack of basically a seat to adjustment really isn't good. They designed the down tube with a very slight curve which stops the seatpost from going any deeper. Just wait and see when you try to put a DP in it. As far as big box bikes go I would say that Schwinn has the better buy/build right now with the new axum x. Better components and it comes with a DP. Great videos!!❤
That bike is not worth anywhere near what they’re charging for it. If the Royce union was still available, it would be a joke to buy that bike, but even line it up against something like a Kent Travelle. Match it point for point ,the mongoose is way too expensive.
Facts. You can still get a 'Royce Union', but the solid ones are a lil' pricey right now. But I've seen them listed as low as $450. And 'Hiland' offers some decent project worthy bikes at a lower price point also.
With new dereailleurs, if you're clicking on the sprockets, and feel the indexing is odd, you could take the derrailleur off the hangar and slowly open and close it for a few minutes in case you have a stiff spring. I just replaced my rear m6100 and had to do that. Edit: @18:30 looks like you have other problems with yours.
So waiting for these reviews. The newest iteration of the mongoose hardtail and full squish👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍. The xrpro>ledges x1 and 2>switchback/impasse. And in purple no less👍 Aluminum, upgradeable to premium forks with tapered; what's not to 👍 Wish my xrpro had tapered head tube😢; at least a 44 internal bearings to adapt a tapered fork. Would've loved to get those Rockshox domain when on sale.
New bike cables stretch. And forks that are on it might be just janky. I’m doing a video on a ebike I got free from a friend. He could not get it to work. But I got it to work. But a video on it for sure
Hey Brother... Love your channel in immensely!! I took a gander on the shoes you're wearing. Can you send me a link to where you bought them!! Ordering some of your merc as well. Thanks. Say hello to Wolfman for me. 💪🙏
Nice a Monday morning Wolf Tic video. Gonna guess this price will fly for abit then when reality hits the bike will be on a forever sale of the 450 mark.
Got mine setup at Dicks, but I'm not sure if they tuned it. I took mine on a paved trail with no hills or anything and i had derailer issues, specifically in 6th gear.
So many better bikes for the money. GT has 2 different Avalanche model that crush the Dicks Mongeese. If you can get one on sale and we'll see what they go to otherwise better options or there. I wish you would do a GT Avalanche episode.
I have Switchback 2019/20 27.5" orange and am thinking of swapping the Xposed Fork with Suntour XCR and keeping this bike for another 2-3;years, before switching to another one completely. Not an aggressive biker at all. What do you think?
There are all out of stock unless your needing a small frame and have been for weeks all polygon bikes are out of stock I was gonna get one till I seen that plus had to pay shipping
I'm looking for a bike that would be good around town on pavement. Bike paths not trails just the path and maybe some gravel. This seems like it will be a good bike for that.
I just traded a guy a skateboard for a beat up Kent trouvaille with a set of tektro hydraulic brakes. 😂 it’s tubeless and only needs a new derailleur and crankset. The forks still lockout. I’m going to jump it because I have a large ozark trail ridge to really ride on trails.
I've snapped to many Frames on Mongoose's Mongeese lol whatever, I used to be a Diamondback guy myself but they were a little heavy, I own a GT but think Trek might be the way to go, I haven't tried one of those yet, anyways, what do you guys think so far is the better bike brands? oh and Thank you guys again for the wonderful content
So it's a buy if you can get it from $200-300 and then sink some cash money into it. I'm thinking of that George Harrison song from the 80s Got My Mind Set On You
the one by may not be as great as you think, the chain angle is bad with 10 speed, the small gear needs to be a 11 or even a ten. then the front gear needs to match your riding. have a 30 for the climbs, 34 for the higher speed....
I was have the same problem today shifting my Ozark trail ridge. Gonna have to take it to a shop and get a different derailleur and some hydraulic disc breaks. Any suggestions on what breaks and derailleur I should get. Also should I upgrade the cassette?
Microshat???? It lasted 15 minutes before i got tired of it chain kickn me! And the push and then push on the shifter sucks! The WTB Trail Boss tires always feel flat riding on them. Your Suntour fork i had once. 😂. I blew the caps off the top and went OTB! 😮
I got to ask, I'm looking into getting a new bike and I'm very green, my budget is around 400, would you get a mongoose switch back comp or a gt aggressor pro
its a 500+ bike. from pacific cycles. in a world where the axum just got a significant update. with a 2x drivretrain. AND tourney groupset. again. over 500 dollars. imo, it doesnt need to exist.
I find in video twlking takes away from a true ride. Let it rip talk after or a talk over I’m not being Judge to you guys you do great videos. Fun as well. Just my option. But ya know that saying everyone has one

Hey that’s me! It was awesome talking to you guys!
Hey Cherokee!! Thank you so much!
Please email us at viewersrides@yahoo.com
We have a little something something for ya!
Sorry for the late reply, we have been on vacation!!
Just got the XL on sale for $380 at Dicks. It has been great for me. I’m 6’1 with very long legs and arms so the XL is perfect size for me.
New fork, new tires, 1x, new groupset, new stem. So, keep the frame and wheelset and then it's a great bike lol!
🤣🤣🤣 YOU GOT IT!!! LOL
Alright! The return of the Cat's Meow!!
Thanks for the usual great review! I just picked it up for $350. Your review let me know I didn't over pay!

Good Morning Wolftick Nation!
Nah....I knew I wouldn't buy it before the video... now I'm 100% sure.... nice looking frame.... and that's it
Thanks for the review! I’m 5’3” with a longer torso, so the fit sounds good. Unfortunately it sounds like it needs a new group/crank out of the box, and a new fork soon after.
That bike needs an air fork and hydraulic brakes but the effectiveness of the brakes grows with the size of the rotors.
Big ring to 4th cog would be 11th gear.
Cable stretch on a brand new bike is to be expected and can cause your gears to skip.
So overall, it’s a good bike you just have to buy a whole new bike to replace it with and it’ll be fine. Got it! 👍🏼
Bikes are on sale at Dick’s Sporting Goods right now
Nice! How much???
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS $399 Switchback Comp and $549 Expert!
$399 @@WOLFTICKVIDEOS
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOSI just paid $400 here in MA & I purchased 2 of them .
Just got this at a M size great bike!
Honestly the only thing I like about the bike is the color.

Just wait and see when you try to put a DP in it.
As far as big box bikes go I would say that Schwinn has the better buy/build right now with the new axum x. Better components and it comes with a DP. Great videos!!❤
This bike should be in the $299-$349 range
I was about to say this, it’s spec similar to Al comp
Agreed.
It is it's at Walmart
Dicks has these for $350 built at the moment
That bike is not worth anywhere near what they’re charging for it. If the Royce union was still available, it would be a joke to buy that bike, but even line it up against something like a Kent Travelle. Match it point for point ,the mongoose is way too expensive.
Facts. You can still get a 'Royce Union', but the solid ones are a lil' pricey right now. But I've seen them listed as low as $450. And 'Hiland' offers some decent project worthy bikes at a lower price point also.

Best way to start a Monday:)
It's 399 now
Great video as usual guys!! 💯
Thanks man!!! We try! Lol
Would prefer the larger frame @ 5'11" but the 29's are a no go for me.
How does this stack up against the Ardor? Giordano Valor or Intrepid blows this away. 399.00 now at Dicks.
How is this bike any different from the Ardor? Other than color and price.
So waiting for these reviews. The newest iteration of the mongoose hardtail and full squish👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍. The xrpro>ledges x1 and 2>switchback/impasse.
And in purple no less👍
Aluminum, upgradeable to premium forks with tapered; what's not to 👍
Wish my xrpro had tapered head tube😢; at least a 44 internal bearings to adapt a tapered fork. Would've loved to get those Rockshox domain when on sale.
Great day for a ride❤
I'm guessing the back Axle bends I'd rod over any jumps.
New bike cables stretch. And forks that are on it might be just janky. I’m doing a video on a ebike I got free from a friend. He could not get it to work. But I got it to work. But a video on it for sure
$549 is up there on price almost as much as the rockhopper sport ($649 on sale right now) especially when it still need to be wolf ticked out
You guys are awesome would like to see Wolfman put helmet strap under beard and let that baby fly 😆
You should name your next bike by that woman's honest deed.
Hey Brother... Love your channel in immensely!!
I took a gander on the shoes you're wearing. Can you send me a link to where you bought them!! Ordering some of your merc as well. Thanks. Say hello to Wolfman for me. 💪🙏
That is a $349 to $399 bike. There are better options out there at around that price point.
Nice a Monday morning Wolf Tic video. Gonna guess this price will fly for abit then when reality hits the bike will be on a forever sale of the 450 mark.
that purple is so 🔥. Is it a $500 frame though?

better options or there. I wish you would do a GT Avalanche episode.
They should have went with sram nx or shimano cues 11 speed.
That 2x is so yesterday in this application.
This bike not worth the price just get a Schwinn
I mean If you buy it and upgrade the fork and drivetrain like most of these big box bikes then it'll be good
Facts. Better bike components, better all-around bike.
When you get into upgrading this bike I feel like a $1000 cannondale or trek isn’t as bad as I once thought
I have Switchback 2019/20 27.5" orange and am thinking of swapping the Xposed Fork with Suntour XCR and keeping this bike for another 2-3;years, before switching to another one completely. Not an aggressive biker at all. What do you think?
Will we be seeing a build of this bike by chance? 😁
Yep!
The Xtrada 5 has thru axles and better fork with boost spacing and hydraulic brakes for $50 more.
There are all out of stock unless your needing a small frame and have been for weeks all polygon bikes are out of stock I was gonna get one till I seen that plus had to pay shipping

Buy the Royce Union, better parts and cheaper

For the love of God, why did they not stick with the Ledge frame and tapered head 2?
I was have the same problem today shifting my Ozark trail ridge. Gonna have to take it to a shop and get a different derailleur and some hydraulic disc breaks. Any suggestions on what breaks and derailleur I should get. Also should I upgrade the cassette?
Just want to say thanks for doing these, you helped me rebuild a cheap bike into something decent.
You are very welcome and thank you for the comment brother. Send It!!!
Would so like to see you some day testing sub $2k bikes like the polygon. Or a used Fezzari or something from Craigslist or facebook marketplace.
How is the assembly of the sailor cabala going?
Microshat???? It lasted 15 minutes before i got tired of it chain kickn me! And the push and then push on the shifter sucks! The WTB Trail Boss tires always feel flat riding on them.
Your Suntour fork i had once. 😂. I blew the caps off the top and went OTB! 😮
What about the Switchback Pro? Would that be upgraded enough?
I like Marín.
I got to ask, I'm looking into getting a new bike and I'm very green, my budget is around 400, would you get a mongoose switch back comp or a gt aggressor pro
I want a Medium in 27.5
Tick... Do you not think a medium may solve some of your dislikes of the small?
Possibly, but I do worry it being 29er and just a tad too big feeling?? But I am curious on the wheelbase??
Definitely should be a few hundred less. Derailleur looks to be broken somewhere. Where is your chest protector???
What do we think compared to the Ozark Trail Ridge?
Not even close that’s what I picked up for 398 updated Version
its a 500+ bike. from pacific cycles. in a world where the axum just got a significant update. with a 2x drivretrain. AND tourney groupset. again. over 500 dollars. imo, it doesnt need to exist.
I clicked this one so fast 💨 🎉
Failure (rides) should always be shown at the end. (So we know how to remember you.)
26:24 .....im not one for guys but that shirt color looks good on you
Good review! I’m glad I don’t get this.
I find in video twlking takes away from a true ride. Let it rip talk after or a talk over I’m not being Judge to you guys you do great videos. Fun as well. Just my option. But ya know that saying everyone has one
So for a bit over 750$ Canadian i can own your Mongoose! Not!
