About Mongoose
Founded in 1974 in a Southern California garage, Mongoose has always been an innovator. From the company's initial cast-magnesium MotoMag wheels to its current crop of BMX, mountain, and pavement bikes, the Mongoose name has been synonymous with bicycle performance. Mongoose builds specifically for riders, which is why the company's BMX designers aren't wasting time watching reruns on ESPN2. Instead, they're constantly testing their new designs at the park, on the track, and on the hill. This continuous experimentation is what drives Mongoose to cook up things like the Front Porch head tube, which lets you fine-tune the handling on Black Diamond series mountain bikes, or Freedrive suspension technology, which eliminates pedal bob and provides a super-efficient full suspension. Mongoose bikes don't just push the limits; they set new ones.
Completely redesigned seamless butted Cromo team frame for 2011 with new pro-level parts, this bike is the choice of Mongoose athlete Cam White. Odyssey Aitken tires on Alienation Black Sheep rims, Odyssey grips and monolever perched on taller Cromo bars. It’s built to handle Cam’s exploits, and it’ll withstand anything you throw at it.
