Whether your route to school is on the sidewalk, path, or street, Schwinn kids’ bikes are the perfect way to pedal into a new school year. I knew that I couldn’t expect much for $212 and free shipping. I didn’t bother to read reviews and wasn’t ready to spend a lot more, not knowing if I would even like riding one. The Mongoose Argus Trail handled my excursions with ease.
The torsion and stiffness from fat wheels and hubs paired with quick release skewers might allow for some flex, but when riding mellow trails, the setup seemed to do just fine. Taking the Argus out was a different experience than the mongoose racing bike norm and we both had fun. Mongoose has given the “go-ahead” to do a long term review to assess the handling and function of the Argus once winter comes. So if you’re curious about how the bike performs in the snow, stay tuned…..
Turns out, it’s probably easier than you think. And we’ve got it all mapped out for you right here. The Mongoose Argus Trail is most certainly a unique bike that meets the needs of an extreme niche. The component build is competitive, keeps cost down, and functions as needed. The components all functioned well with minimal adjustments needed and served their individual duties.
The traits of handling and stability will most certainly transition to snow riding as well. The weight of the bike is nearly 34 pounds (15.04 kg) and mongoose racing bike it shows. That is almost as heavy as MY full suspension fat bike. Mongoose made a sound decision considering the weight that a child must pedal.
I don’t know of many that go smaller from there either. Forget glossy magazines and far-off places. Explore trails that aren’t on the app but clearly exist
right here, right now, in real life. Pack extra water and a sandwich in case things go right and you’re having
too much damn fun to head home.
