Mongoose 2010 Khyber Elite
$2,300.00
Released January, 2010
The Pros:Strong frame does not bend or waver on bumps. Comfortable and efficient while climbing and for all-mountain use. Very responsive brakes.
The Cons:Pivot bearings need to be replaced much more often than competing models. Rear suspension links tend to bend on big impacts. Some components are lower spec'd than expected at this price.
