Pretty entry level, but still much better than any Wal Mart junk. My son rides an old Trek 800, sort of the same level mountain bike, on 20 to 25 mile rides. Just switch out the tire to a 1.5" wide road tire. Plenty of good options. On my son's bike, we put Geax Street runner tires on. http://www.biketiresdirect.com/produ...Fe9cMgodQjcA3w
