Update still going. Got close to 100miles on it.
Not bad at all. A few things I had to do. Adjust the back derailed. And had adjust the front brake. The seat I’m not sugar coat it. Is rough on the bottom. And any down hill coasting be careful. I way about 220lbs and was a inch from maxing front forks. Other then that did well after a total of 10miles of a trail and climbing 900ft up in evaluation and back down. With some hills pretty steep. Still not a bad but for what u get. Did a 2nd ride on another mountain trail. Climbing 400ft. And doing over 9miles. Still holding up well. Had zip tie the brake cables etc as the plastic c clips stretch. So I’m was hearing something rubbing my rear tire. Then found out what it was and took care of that. I expect few more things as I keep riding. But still not disappointed with my buy. Will keep editing and updating for more ppl know this product. As they did have some crappy reviews for a while.

The tires are missing some ball bearing and trying to put the tire on only results in a wobbly tire. Off to buy some ball bearings now… Grumble.

The bike arrived very fast and only a little assembly to do and very easy. The gears change very smoothly. It’s a little heavy but I’m very satisfied !!!

Assembly:
Removal of the bike from the box and removal of all the packaging/protection takes about 15 minutes. It was packed very well and the box was in excellent condition.
Bike assembly took about 45 minutes including some minor adjustments. The instructions are okay, they are for several different bikes though. Some of the tools required are not even used, and the size indicated to use is different on some items. It is mostly pre-assembled with only the front wheel, seat, and pedals to install. The handlebar stem comes backwards due to packaging, so you will need to loosen the top bolt under the rubber cap and spin it 180 degrees. Make sure that when you mount the handlebar to the stem, that the cables are not twisted. they should be on each side as they come up the frame. Of course you will need to center the handlebar stem to the front wheel. The only adjustments I had to make after a ride around the yard, was to the front and rear brakes. They needed to be tightened up a little so that the handles were catching the brakes at approx. a 1/3 pull. The manual explains how to adjust.
Overall I am happy with it. Looks great! No marks from shipping and all of the stickers are applied correctly. I will add to this review after I put some miles on it!

Had bike for just over a month and gears don’t work proper and back wheel frame is bent and has a wobble. Thought getting a more expensive bike would be more durable but I was wrong. My 200 dollar Canadian Tire bike was better.

When I picked up the package, I was impressed at the condition of the box. There were no smashed corners or gashes. Upon opening the box, I was happy to see such efficient packing, padding and securing of items so nothing rubbed together. The bike arrived with no scratch whatsoever on it!
I started to remove the bike and it came out easily. I began removing the padding and cutting zip ties. Everything looked great although I was a bit concerned as there were no instructions included. Upon further unpacking, I could easily see there were minor steps to assembly which became self explanatory. I screwed in the right peddle and a small bearing fell into my hand. I called the number on the bike and explained the situation. In under 10 mins, a new peddle was on its way free of charge. I completed the assembly and took it for a test drive. The bike felt solid and drove like a champ! This is going to be a fun bike to use on the trails!!

Second ride I took the bike out the gears started to mid shift and actual broke the chain. The front tire was also installed on the rim backwards. Bought another brand gravel bike and been way happier. Schwin quality wasn’t what it use to be.

Bike arrived yesterday, so I put it together last night, and attempted to ride it. The gears don’t change properly, and the chain constantly runs on the chain guard. Tries to adjust the gears, but to no avail. I got it close but either the chain runs while pedalling l, or the gears don’t move to the next sprocket when the trigger is pulled… I’m going to try again tonight after work, bit I’d like to talk to the seller a out this issue…. a brand new bike out of the box should change gears…. I think.
On the plus side, it’s a really nice looking bike… very frustrated with it though….
I sent this bike back, the customer service from both amazon and schwinn, were impeccable, so much so, that I’m going to order another one, and hope it’s not defective. My fingers are crossed, and I’ll post again when the next one comes.

Awesome bike take it from me I’ve road for decades on mountain trails all over Arizona desserts and Michigan mountain trails this bike is fantastic the strength of cam and chain are phenomenal. This bike puts some thousand dollar bikes to shame I rode for 4 years in college at Arizona state in extreme heat and dust and the summers 60 to 70 miles a day this bike is super tough plus the integrated shifting system was always there for me not to mention the life time warranty I highly recommend this scale bike to anyone young or old you wont be disappointed it’s a great investment in your Health which is your Greatest wealth!

The order stated 3 day shipping and it took 6 days, but more importantly FedEx delivered the box all tore up with bottom flaps wide open and the box of pedals lying on the ground outside of the main carton. The bike suffered several deep scratches that really bummed me out! I decided to live with it as I hate to send things back unless I have to. Other than that the bike is very nice at this price point and would have received 5 stars from me if it wasn’t damaged, despite the slow arrival.
It went together very easily, but did need rerouting of the cables which could not be completely untangled as well as some minor tuning. I also replaced the skinny rock hard seat with a super comfortable TONBUX seat that almost matches the color perfectly (best $20 I ever spent!). It rides like a dream on the rough dirt and rocky mountain roads near my house, the full suspension and big 29″ tires really soak in the bumps, very smooth. I am very pleased with the overall performance of the bike so far, it shifts very quickly up and down and the disk brakes are strong. I am 5’9″ tall / 185 lbs. and the bike has plenty of seat adjustment left, I would say it will handle up to a 6’2″ rider, but not much shorter than 5’8″ comfortably. I would highly recommend this bike to anyone that is NOT interested in hard core wide open down hill mountain trail riding. I am sure the bike can handle any trail at controlled speeds, but sustained high speed down hill mountain trail riding needs more bike than this, i.e. hydraulic brakes & better suspension, or in other words spending at least double or triple what this bike cost. At under $400 dollars it is a great bike.
UPDATE: After several long rides on very rocky mountain roads and trails I just had to change my rating from 4 to 5 stars. This bike is that nice, and it didn’t seem fair to down grade the rating due to slow poor FedEx service.
18 MONTH FOLLOW-UP:
Loving this well made Schwinn! Have many miles of very hard riding on it now and it is holding up well. Zero issues and still functioning perfectly. There is a slight amount of seepage at the front forks but that is normal. I have just about worn out the tires but that is after a lot of miles, most of which were ridden on rough rocky roads with zero flats. Overall this bike is a winner. Well worth the current price.
MARCH 30, 2021 UPDATE:
Just purchased a 2nd Traxion for my wife; after she borrowed mine she had to have one. This one arrived in perfect condition via UPS. Had to fine tune the brakes and shifters but that is easy. The people here having pedal/crank problems are causing the problem themselves by installing them dry and severly over tightening them. Put a little grease on the threads and take them down to just beyond finger tight. They are threaded opposite of the crank rotation and will not back out, and if you ever need to replace them they’ll come out easily without seizing or galling. Great bike for the money!

maybe a bit expensive but good simple bike. I ordered 2 and for one of them the front wheel was really untrue, I had to replace it (Amazon was amazing with this).
unlike other bikes I purchased, I did not have to make any tuning/adjustments for the deralleurs – hope this won’t jinx it.
note: no water bottle holes.
