For almost 40 years, Mongoose has been in the dirt, on the trails and off the
ramps. Founded in 1974 in a Southern California garage, Mongoose has always been an
aggressive brand with products that push the limits of what a rider can do. From
the biggest hits on the mountain or in the park to the urban jungle, Mongoose is an
authentic brand that produces durable products built for real riders. Born out of a garage in SoCal back in 1974, Mongoose is synonymous with BMX. Mongoose designs BMX Freestyle and BMX Race bikes for riders of all ages and ability levels, and our bikes are trusted by some of the world’s best riders.
The other style of Mongoose Bicycles are those low-end, mass-produced bikes which are distributed by major chain-stores at discount prices. Firstly, their expensive, SCHMICK bikes are retailed through specialty bicycle stores. Through this more illustrious product, Mongoose Bikes raise their brand profile by being deeply involved in sponsorship of professional cycling events, tours and individual cycling athletes. Since Mongoose only offered these bikes in the continental USA they have been working hard to find a way for people in Canada, Alaska/Hawaii, Mexico, UK, ect, to get their hands on them and that’s where we come in. Obviously, the cost to ship to these states/countries isn’t cheap, but these bikes are affordably priced even with the cost to ship to these locations. Whether shop here at Albe’s BMX or at , we’re just stoked to help get these beauties to hardcore ‘Goose fans anywhere in the world.

They diversified into mountain bikes and scooters in the 90s, and they’re now bringing their two most famous BMX bikes back into production. Brunswick sold Mongoose to Pacific Cycle in 2000 and Pacific Cycle was bought by Montreal-based Dorel Industries in 2004. By combining Pon.Bike and Dorel Sports, a leading bicycle company in the world will be created, with a combined revenue of around 2.5 billion euro. Skip Hess started BMX Products, Inc. out of his home in Simi Valley, California in September 1974 with his first product being the famous Motomag One wheel.

RECO (Racer Engineering Company) was a wholly owned manufacturing division created for insurance purposes to be separate from BMX Products, Inc, even though RECO was always produced in-house. It was headed by Vice President of Manufacturing Hoppy Brooks, in his attempt to market motorcycle frames. Mongoose Bicycles are essentially produced and marketed for two different demographics. Back in 1974, the BMX Products, Inc company was originally known for their famous MotoMags wheels which were produced from cast magnesium.
This determines the “size” of the BMX, not the wheel size. Just like the original it has a polycarbonate seat, and the classic padding kit consisting of a pad around the handlebar clamp, the handlebar top bar, and the upper frame member. As you may expect it comes with ample Mongoose branding, the MSRP is $549.99 USD.
The Legion L80 is designed for taller riders because it uses a 20.75-inch top tube which will suit riders from around 5’8” tall.

It’s made from hi-tensile steel with 1 piece cranks.
