I stole mongoose kids bikes two of them from Sports Authority for $1000 when they went out of business. I can’t speak for the new model, but the model i have (white) is actually “bike shop weight” about 32 lbs.
It is a 300 dollar bike and great bang for the buck but I was left walking up a big hill after the derailleur hanger bent forcing the chain to lock behind the sprocket on the rims and wheels. I’d have given mongoose fat tire bike it 5 stars, but like I said I had to walk up a big ass hill.

One of the most important parts of a mountain bike are the brakes that they are fitted with. Although not as high end as hydraulic brakes, disc brakes are top of the line in terms of quality and efficiency, and are far more effective at stopping a bike than rim brakes. A disc brake works by having the stopping pads work indirectly to stop the tire by acting on a metal disc, rather than the wheels rim. There are huge advantages to this including, increased brake control, greater braking range, greater range of use and greater durability.
Starting with the frame itself, the Mongoose Dolomite Mountain Bike offers a 17Inch steel alloy frame which itself is very durable thanks to a metal build. It is also styled like a Cruiser to give you the added balance and comfort needed whilst also adding to the look of the bike. Below that we have a crank which like most of the bikes in this price range, is not made of the best material which is an understandable compromise considering the price.

The weight can be a little overwhelming for some riders, but once you get comfortable with it, you will have a ton of fun riding the bike.
