Mongoose brings its "push the limits" attitude to mountain bikes. The Standoff has a full suspension frame and front suspension fork so it will be comfortable chewing up rough terrain, and with 21 speeds and thick knobby tires nothing will stand in your way. Take it on the trail or adventure off the trail onto some gnarly single track. There is nothing you can't do on a Mongoose.

Please don't buy this bike if you plan on actually going on mountains. This bike is not safe for that type of use. No bike that is $125 would be safe on anything other than paved or very smooth dirt roads. Also, the added weight of the suspension is really not worth the virtually non-existent benefits you will get from "suspension" at this price-point. Just some things to consider.
These dept store bikes are great for daily commuting, although probably less so for serious mountain biking. The usual short middle age fat slobs that you see who gatekeep biking and telling people to buy a $2000 bike are annoying as hell. Everyone should be encouraged to bike more. Any bike, is better than having people sit in a car for a 5min drive.

Over time it's more economical to get a better build bike, but not everyone has $750+ to spend.
Cheaper than a tank of gas!

Seems like any of these would be decent candidates for a cheap ebike conversion like this one - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiGGS2gP4v0

The only caveat is that he uses a front hub motor which I've heard mixed things about as far as safety is concerned. Supposedly rear hub and mid drive are safer in comparison. There are concerns about the amount of torque the front hub motors put on the fork in the front. One mitigation is to use torque arms. But the thought of a malfunction in the front is kind of scary too.

Come for a bike ride on Michigan roads and I guarantee you'll wish you had shocks 🤣

What if I like to ride on smooth, paved mountain roads?

Even as a child I've always had mountain bikes, but never used them in any insane incline or real mountainous regions. Think most people like myself use it for park trails and/or neighborhood cycling with the occasional grassy area to pass walking pedestrians.

The people who bitch about cheap bikes always miss the real reason to complain about cheap bikes.

Everyone knows cheap bikes are crap because there is no HDMI. Has Slickdeals taught these people nothing?
