  1. Hi,

    My current trail bike is a Mongoose, and looks like this:

    trakcycles.com.au8

    ...but I worry it's a knock-off, since I didnt' pay 389 for it. ($200).

    Is there a version one step below? How can I tell which mongoose it is?

    If it -is- that model, is this a good bike for a newbie heavyweight rider?

    I know most ppl say get a hard-tail, but I'm not so heavy that I don't get use outta the
    dual-suspension. ;-)

    Thanks, and sorry for the semi-lame questions.

    OK, I'm answering my own question. It's not the D.H 1.5. The bike I have is the XR-100, and that is
    a step below the D.H.

    Supposedly the retail is $300, and I paid $185ish.

    I couldn't find it anywhere so I posted here. THen I got the idea to look on ebay and found it.

    It's a bit on the 'heavy' side at 45lbs. A bit. Yeah.

    Maybe this will help someone else.

    The XR-100 sells at Walmart.com for $149.
