On the other hand, perhaps Walmart want to improve its image, but in doing so it would be ostracizing its core and loyal demographic. How many Pinkbikers shop Walmart for anything other than maybe groceries and household goods? I suspect no, and even more no for the latter.
It is easily transportable and the best thing about Hyper mountain biking is that it is light weight. It’s perfect for people who don’t want to go for a long journey, or who just go on a short bike ride. Usually, you need to look for a superb product when you buy a mountain bike.
The treatment for the bike and the strength of the bike are crucial. It would be a risk for your rider to experience the bike as it can lead you to an accident if he doesn’t feel comfortable. On the opposite hand, it’s a complete waste of money if the bike doesn’t last long.
Riding is a great way to have fun and bond with family members, especially with the great bikes and scooters you’ll find at Sam’s Club. Yes, my friend fell victim to buying the cheapest carbon bike there is, then upgrading it to a top notch feather weight bike. Like rockshox they offer entry level garbage on up… Their air spring forks are comparable to RS models like the XC32s, Judy Golds and Recon models.
The bike lacks the features that interest me, so I’m uninterested. The idea of buying one and upgrading seems lackluster compared to buying a frame and building it correctly. Worth noting there’s nothing on their website indicating the headset standard, so rather hard to research into something that does not seem to be openly published. I see you’ve taken a more in depth look at this garbage, so I’ll trust you’re correct on the standards.
Item prices do not include fees for pickup, shipping or delivery unless noted in the item description. You have to click on Pro Shop to see the slightly nicer bikes they make. Also the video on Tom Van Steenbergen’s page under team is pretty interesting. I know hyper bike they ride Hyper DJs and BMX (they were all here in Bentonville for a Walmart/hyper deal at one of our pump tracks a year or so ago) but they may have a deal with Giant for MTB. Multiple times I’ve seen Travis and others from the Nitro crew on Giant bikes.
I posted a bike for sale last year and when I took the photos, I left it in the granny gear . I got criticized because of the length of chain on the bike. People who claimed to work in bike stores, or manage bike stores were saying it was too short.
The rule of thumb in the world of biking is that if it’s cheap, it’s probably not worth it. Hyper Bikes seem to be tailor made for urban commute. Look as good as their beefier, mountain-climbing counterparts. If you are an experienced cyclist or have the ambition to be one, it will be more optimal to go to a higher range, and buy a corresponding bike, which will obviously be much more expensive. From a bike of this range, the models are really correct for their price.
