About this product
This is a rare, vintage 1996 Mongoose MGX Redondo 26" Cruiser MTB, featuring a lightweight 18-inch aluminum frame.

The bike has a front suspension system, 26-inch wheels with clincher tires, and a riser bar handlebar. Its color scheme is a silver fade to dark green.

Our take
The 1996 Mongoose MGX Redondo is a compelling vintage offering for someone looking for a cruiser with some mountain bike capabilities. The aluminum frame is a definite highlight, contributing to its relatively lightweight 32 lb for a 26" cruiser. The 21-speed setup with grip shifters provides good versatility for varied terrain, though grip shifters aren't for everyone. Front suspension adds comfort on bumpy rides. V-brakes are effective, if not as powerful as disc brakes. The 'silver fade to dark green' color scheme is distinctive for its era. It's a unique find for a vintage enthusiast or casual rider looking for a comfortable, versatile bike.
