Mongoose have over 40 years of experience in the field, gathering insight from pro athletes to develop the legendary Mongoose Legion line of products. They feature specially constructed BMX Frames, handlebars, stems and saddles that are everything a rider could need. BMX was one of the fastest growing sports in the country in the late 70s and early 80s, and Mongoose was one of the most recognizable names in the industry. They diversified into mountain bikes and scooters in the 90s, and they’re now bringing their two most famous BMX bikes back into production. The sky was the limit for BMX and no one had a better grasp on that than Mongoose.
