After all, the Schwinn High Timber is a hardtail mountain bike. The assembly is relatively easy, I found a video about it, if you follow the very detailed instruction of the video after purchase, you can expect to assemble it very well in 1 hour. But some parents have bought this bike for their 5’1? girls and they can ride it without any problem. When your child is expected to ride a distance of approximately 200 miles, a brake adjustment is required to avoid riding with poor braking and jeopardizing riding safety. There is also a shock spring at the bottom of the seat to reduce ground impact to the rider from either the front or rear wheel. When encountering potholes, the shock forks respond to soft and stiff moisture. Mega mountain bike riding fun is right here on the Huffy Trail Runner. The dual suspension frame combines with the suspension fork for great response whether you chose an exhilarating ride on a trail or a more relaxed ride through the neighborhood. From branches to potholes, youll have better control. Wherever you ride, easy-to-shift 18-speed index shifters are integrated with the Shimano rear derailleur for smooth performance. Alloy linear pull brakes provide great control for smooth braking. Because there will be moist air attached to the bare frame when riding in the woods or on trails, you can apply Vaseline or lubricant under the seat to extend the service life. The responsiveness feels above and beyond what you’d expect from a mountain bike at this price point. If you disregard that aspect of the complaint, I believe this is a great mountain bike for the money.

This bike is the best alternative to each other, and when I saw the Huffy Trail Runner, I wondered if they had picked up the design of the Hyper 26? Shocker Mountain Bike. The girls are also more eager to explore the nearby mountain suburbs rather than just the city. Riders prefer soft seats, and the Huffy Trail Runner has a colorful ATB saddle. The interior is padded, and the ATB material is durable enough not to chafe without leaving hard scratches. The rear shock absorbs the vast majority of the vibration when the rear wheel passes over rocks or roots. Trending price is based on prices over last 90 days.

Because the Schwinn High Timber is available in a variety of colors and has a sturdy aluminum frame, it can be used for an extended period of time with little maintenance. It is very easy to damage the paint and make the exposed frame rust if you scrub it with a hardwire ball. Alloy linear tension brakes are not the best option, but if you have the money, replace them with front and rear disc brakes. The Huffy Trail Runner 26 is durable enough to last up to ten years with proper care, and it’s a great fitness bike, unlike aluminum frames, which deform when bumped.
