Long live the Mongoose Inferno!!! I have much respect for you man, thanks for keeping it safe over in our neck of the woods. Make sure and get another Inferno when you get back to the states. Matt,
Thanks for the comment. Long live the Mongoose Inferno!!! I have much respect for you man, thanks for keeping it safe over in our neck of the woods. Make sure and get another Inferno when you get back to the states.

My battle buddy has a Mongoose Intake and I consistently kick Iraqi sand in his face. Seriously though... I bought the bike here after I purchased a Huffy. The Huffy had plastic pedals. The pedals broke. I took the broke pedal back received a new pedal. Later that day it broke. I returned the Huffy and now am the proud owner of the Mongoose Inferno. It has alloy pedals. They take a beating and keep on cranking. The bike goes through serious abuse. Sand, sand, and more sand spins through the derailers and they keep moving and don't clog. The suspension is pretty good. I'm 6'5" and weigh 265 with my Kevlar (which by the way smash on your man parts while riding sometimes.) The only downside is the seatpost and handlebars do not extend to a comfortable height for my height. However, the only thing I'm going to regret about leaving Iraq is that I will be leaving my Mongoose Inferno. I will be leaving it for the incoming battle buddy replacement.

There will always be a special place in my heart for the Mongoose Inferno. Seriously though, it was great bike to get back into mountain biking with and it took a lot of beatings.

Have only ridden on 1 trail with it, but I like it so far. I can definately feel some power loss as compared to my previous hardtail, but that could also be in the tires. Also, my bike has some Shimano Alivio components on it instead of the Acera (between Acera and Deore?). Moving up from the SRAM GripShift on my old Huffy, the EZFire shifters feel great. I can also tell the difference in the Aluminum frame versus steel. Do you know how much your Mongoose weighed (before and after your upgrades)? Thanks for posting the review. I was unsure about buying the bike, but your review helped me to make what is, as far as I can tell, a good decision. Just bought a Mongoose Inferno from my friend for $115 (with lock and pump).
