Huffy Hardtail Mountain Bike, Multiple Sizes & Speeds

I bought this bike for my son’s birthday.
He really loves it.
Unfortunately one bolt for gear guard was missing.
My wife called to customer service for the missing bolt.
And, she was impressed by their professional support.

WOW, It took me a FULL Week to decide which Huffy sized Bike I would buy. I originally was going to purchase the 20 inch til I saw for a “girl” I assumed this meant a child. YES I am short 5 feet. So then I went looking for a 22 inch.I could not find one.Now my 2 brothers growing up had the sting ray cool looking Huffy bikes. So I strictly surfed HUFFY Mountain Bikes still NO 22 inch, what did I know, I have not ridden a bike in 37,38 years, lol, lol. The info on inches and heights was there right in front of me..This AWESOMELY made, relatively easy to put together, took about 1 1/2 hours>PERFECT!. I watched the video which clearly walks you through the entire process. OH My the Crisp Red color,The sleek cool looking awesomely light weight solid structured fit me to the TEEEEE…This Bike is NOW in my TOP 3 items I have ever purchased on Amazon..that I cherish the most..The cost is nothing compared to how I/We/You are going to feel proudly riding on this Bike. I rate this Huffy Mountain 21 Speed, 24 inch Huffy Bike a Perfect “20”….Now instead of driving to Lake Champlain I will ride there….

Bought this for my 10 yo for Christmas. Bike took some time to assemble but came together pretty easily. Issues:

The wheels are not straight and contact the brake pads sporadically while riding, making a scrubbing sound. I made significant adjustments to the brake pad spacing but could not easily dial it in to the spacing referenced in the manual – needed wider spacing to avoid contacting the tire.

The derailleurs were not indexed properly. I followed the instructions step by step to set the low and high limits, then adjusted the thumbscrews to adjust the indexing. I spent 4 hours (not exaggerating) adjusting and could not get the shifting to work properly – it skipped gears, and the bike would often shift gears on its own while pedaling. Front derailleur was trash, could never get it to shift into the smallest gear. The shifters were “tight” especially for the front gearing, my son couldn’t even shift it to the smallest gear because it was so tight.

Ultimately I decided to return it, too much wasted time trying to make it functional. Don’t waste your time on this bike, it’s trash just like many of the other reviewers said. I wish I’d listened to them, but I was attracted to the positive reviews and the price seemed reasonable.

At the very least, don’t trash the box after buying it, because you can’t return it without the box. I had to buy a $20 bike box just to return it after trashing the original box (which was damaged on the bottom). Fortunately Amazon covered the cost of the bike box and made this return process pretty easy.

Es de muy buena calidad y mi hijo está muy contento , los materiales son muy buenos y no es pesada, gracias

This bike is just what I wanted, a simple mountain bike to start out with. Its a bit expensive for what it is. Assembly was easy until it was time to adjust the brake handles. The bike comes partially assembled but the brake handles were sitting on top of the grips, making them impossible to use. Easy to fix, with a screw driver, except the gear handles were installed right in front of the screw, so you need to move the gear handles to be able to move the brake handles. Fortunately, a simple allen wrench twist and you can adjust them. Unfortunately, an allen wrench that fits is not included. I had to go on a mission to find one that fit. When I did, the screw was so tight, I had to use pliers for leverage and it bent the allen wrench. I can finally ride my bike now and it seems fine. Id probably like it better if I could have ridden it immediately after I put it together. Maybe I need more allen wrenches in my tool box.

Sort of got finessed with this one for 180 or so dollars, however, it’s ‘fine’ for the price, especially for a beginner and a commuter, I guess… Hard to really even call it a ‘mountain bike’, this is pretty sketch right out of the box and shouldn’t see any rough use until it gets checked out and tuned up after assembly.

The stock seat is horribly uncomfortable, the handlebar is a little frustrating to align, and honestly, this design is almost like a hybrid bike that’s way heavier with knobby tires and mostly useless fork suspension. For me, it’s decent enough for the abysmal sidewalks and bike paths in my city, but most certainly not fast or speedy enough to compete on the road, at least not at a cost-effective effort with its weight and lack of aerodynamics.

That being said, still a decent enough commuting bike, not the best but it certainly gets the job done, and certainly beats walking once you replace the seat and get some cargo racks and baskets. Though, I personally wouldn’t go too hard on this thing for actual mountain-cycling, it creaks and clamors already on a flat sidewalk as is.
