I went there and checked the bike, i was bit disappointed to say the least
- Gear up/down shifting knobs appears to have awkwardly placed: normally with my previous bike i use thumb and index fingers for it up/down but on this bike it is just use thumb all the time. Not sure if it is weird by any standard.
- store guy gave me some B.S., you should not fiddling with gears as these bike are prone to gear damage lol, if he was trying to sell the bike, he just did the opposite. I caught him on this and pressed further, that seems poor quality and he sort of become elusive.
Regardless of that, if any has owned, wondering what is their impressions? Normally the bikes sold at Dicks are generally much better brand/quality than Walmart/Target. On Dick's it has got rating of 3.8, sort of meehh.
GT Adult Aggressor Pro Mountain Bike
They're not amazing bikes, but pretty good deal at $300. Worth about $500 IMO. Comparable to the Specialized Rockhopper 27.5, which retails for $600. Rockhopper probably has a slightly nicer frame and slightly nicer crankset.
Assembly quality can be hit or miss.
Here's the Specialized Rockhopper
