Overview

The Schwinn Traxion Mountain Bike is a trail-ready model that comes with a lightweight full-suspension frame, wide handlebar, and grippy tires. With plenty of room for accessories and customization, it will take biking to the next level.

Who is this bike perfect for?

If you are an average height person who enjoys biking every day, you’ll love the versatility of this model. For forests, hills, coast riding, and even neighborhood cruising, this bike is an optimal pick thanks to the soft suspension. It allows you to jump onto and off the curbs, and the large wheels offer maximum traction.

As for the extreme downhill speed runs, it’s better to look for something else since the front fork might be not ideal here. Also, the pedal clearance might be insufficient for some trails.

Performance

The bike shows decent results both in the city and on a trail. The handlebar is wide enough for all your gadgets and a comfortable riding position, and the all-forgiving suspension helps a lot on uneven terrains. Since this is a 24-speed bike, it’s easy to find the right gear for your situation to make pedaling effortless.

The only drawback is the fork that will clunk on the bumps. Still, you can adjust it to give you better control. Once you replace a seat, you can set out on a longer trip with this model

Conclusion

The Schwinn Traxion Mountain Bike is a reliable semi-professional pick that suits trail-shredding and is quite comfortable for quick daily rides. The 29” wide wheels make it possible to climb almost anywhere, and the 24-speed trigger shifter makes pedaling simpler.

It’s clear that it needs some improvements if you plan to use it for extreme biking, especially when you compare it to some high-end models. But the difference is not that critical, and you can add your accessories and adjust this bike according to your liking.
