anybody who has knowledge with bikes please help thanks

Answer 1

If you are a young first time rider this bike is fine. However, if you have any experience on bikes i suggest you upgrade as this bike is of a low quality and will not last as long and work as well as better bikes.

Answer 2

Mongoose is basically a walmart brand, I'd recommend against it if you are interested in serious cycling.

Answer 3

It's not a proper mountain bike if it's $240 new
