2010 Mongoose Bikes

Posted: Sep 8, 2009

Mongoose Bikes sent through some photos of their 2010 lineup. All the new Mongoose bikes not only look good but have a well thought out component groups that makes them cost effective, and weight conscious.

2010 Mongoose bikes inside,

For 2010 the frame and suspension designs for Mongoose did not change much, they more so looked at the color schemes they offered last year, and tried to make their bikes flashier and cleaner. I think they definitely achieved what they were shooting for.

The new Mongoose BootR Team has taken on a color matching scheme for 2010. Last year offered a matte blue finish with flashy orange graphics. For 2010 they have gone with a white and gold motif, right down to the seat post collar. The price has remained the same compared to last years price, at $3999.99 USD.

The new Mongoose BootR received no price change, and will cost $2999.99 USD for 2010. The component changes are substantial, including the suspension, and brakes. This new BootR seems like a better "bang for your buck" bike over last year' model, which means you get more bike for your money, something everyone wants when looking at a new bike. The BootR does not share the same color matched component scheme as the BootR Team, however it does come in a nice red and brown paint job.

For the freeride side of things Mongoose has taken the PinnR Apprentice and changed it up a fair amount. The most obvious change, the color change from matte black to shiny grey makes the PinnR Apprentice a bolder looking bike. The change from Marzocchi suspension to RockShox suspension was made, however they kept Fox for the rear shock. The PinnR Apprentice's price will remain the same for 2010 at $2499.99

The 2010 Mongoose Nugget will cost the same compared to last years Nugget at $2499.99 USD. Besides the color changes there are no massive component changes. They have taken last year's white frame, inverted the color to black, and changed up the graphic design for the most part. Still an amazing value bike for park and trail riders.

The Khyber Super for 2010 has lost its chrome finish, and gained some very unique components. With the recent release of Truvativ's HammerSchmidt, Mongoose has equip the Khyber Super from the factory with this unique crank design. The change from Marzocchi suspension to RockShox suspension was made, and a remote telescoping seat post was added too. The Khyber Super has been transformed into a All Mountain killing machine, and yet the price has remained the same at $3499.99 USD for 2010.

Last but not least Mongoose has also looked into the street, park, and dirt jumping side of their line up and tried to refine it as best as they could. The Ritual Dirt-Hi is the top of the line bike from Mongoose, and just like the other bikes in the lineup it received a price cut for 2010. Coming in at $1199 USD the Ritual Dirt-Hi is the same price as 2009, and features some minor component changes, and a paint job change. Just like the BootR Team the Ritual Dirt-Hi is offered in a white color scheme this year, so if you really wanted you could create a white stable of Mongoose bikes.

All the new Mongoose bikes look sweet and it's awesome to see the price stay the same despite the improved builds. The color matched components add a unique touch, and with the overall component changes I think that you will notice a weight savings too.
