With the brand history done, let’s review why Mongoose bikes are outstanding. We have spent decades gathering information from many, many sources, including our friends at bmxproducts.com, bmxproducts.com.au, vintagebmx.com, bmxsociety.com and bmxmuseum.com. We don’t claim to have all first hand knowledge, we just wanted to condense all the information out there into one place for all of us to enjoy. In fact, most of the product descriptions are taken from BMX Products Inc. catalogs and are available to download in the catalog section on this site. So if you see something that just doesn’t seem right please email us, and we’ll do our best to clarify the inaccuracy.

This drivetrain also enables you to ride at a higher cadence, thus increasing the time it takes for muscle fatigue to kick in.

Put down your Atari joystick and dream a little dream of retro shredding with Mongoose Classics bikes.
