Real Customer Reviews and Videos of Motobecane Mountain bikes:
Max T. "...awesome bike. It has far exceeded my expectations for what I wanted. It is solid with good welds and decent components for a bike in this price range… I'm 6' 2" and weigh 210lbs. I purchased the 19" and it fits me perfect… frame is well built, drive system is solid, brakes work well ...front fork is solid in my opinion..All in all I'm very happy with this bike."
T. D. "Overall, a very good value for a hardtail 29er with decent components, good brakes, and suspension"
D. C. W. "Hydraulic Brakes 29er…The best bang for your buck if you're just getting into the MTB scene. I'd be willing to buy a fleet of these just for my friends to get to tag along. If you want to test the waters and see if you like MT biking, get this bike, if you dont like the sport, you can enjoy riding it around on the street as well."
W. B. "I wanted to get a 29er after riding a buddy's and also wanted a hardtail to complement my FS bike. I looked at the Trek Caliber X6, several Specialized and Cannondale options and also at building a bike from the frame up. I arrived at the Motobecane because of the overall value. Out of the box it performed well…I have a great trail bike that did not break the bank. Would highly recommend to anyone!"
