Kent International Genesis 26" Men's V2100 Dual-Suspension Bicycle


Kent International Genesis 26" Men's V2100 Dual-Suspension BicycleGreat bike! Came pretty much put together. Nothin for me to screw up anyway. Little small for me at 6'1" but put an old seat shaft on it and my handle bar ends and it rides great. Never had a bike with suspension befor, seems great for the money
This bike is not a mountain bike but for the flat off road trails where I live it is most suitable, I found the initial build quality to be excellent. The wheels were true and everything has worked as to be expected. I paid the $179 with free shipping, overall for the money a good deal.

When I first received the bike I was surprised that it arrived so quickly. I chose the free standard shipping from Amazon but somehow the bike arrived the next morning. Assembling the bike was quite easy. Any problems that I ran into were the result of the rest of my order arriving two days after the bike did so I was stuck using the tools that I had around the house. Anyway, overall the bike is a great bike for me. I love that it changes gears easily and smoothly. I also love that it was only $170 when I made my purchase. If you purchase this bike, I hope you like it as much as I do.

The assembly is not so difficult if you are the one from DIY world, and the machine is also well equipped. Before buying, I had worried about the stability of rear part due to the structure of the tail (the way the rear part is connected with the main triangle frame), however, after riding about 50 miles or so, there has been no trouble from that. I am willing to recommend this bike to the one that seek for a cheap and good bike with dual suspension.

The bike is made of aluminum material that is supposedly lighter. I test ride it and was extremely comfortable thanks to its dual suspension although I did switch the seats to a more comfy on. It comes with a kickstand. The shifters aren't really that great. Max of 40 psi tires. Quick release only on the seat. The only thing I didn't like was I don't have any good place to put my U lock on the bike frame. Overall I expected what I paid for.

While I have a fair bit of mechanical skill, I have never put a bike together before. The things that required assembly were: front brake, front wheel, seat post, handles. Thing that probably needs tuning: the second gear on the three gear set, not the derailleur on the back wheel. Unlike other reviewers, I did get a 21-speed bike (seven on the rear wheel and three on the outside) and aside from switching to second on that three set the shifting is great. It's a pretty comfortable bike even though I barely meet the height suggestion, but I can't comment on the seat because I swapped it out with a Sunlite Cloud-9. It handles Chicago curbs and potholes like a champ, which is to be expected, and I haven't yet had to "Brace for impact" to protect my crotch area from a bump. All in all, I'd say it's a pretty solid bike (aside from the plastic pedals).

This is one of the best buys on the market today. I has everything many bikes that cost $600 plus have and some extras. You need to tighten all the nuts and bolts, even the ones that were not involved in the assembly.You need to tune the bike gears and brakes regularly.
I didn't need to buy any additional parts and am happy with the bikes performance.
