5Polaris RMK and Victory Vegas Low
By fire105
11-29-10. This will not be a standard review but will have some helpful hints---hope it will help you.My Goal was to find (using reviews and ratings) the best dual suspension/disk brake mountain bikefor under 300 dollarsBased on reviews and ratings from different web sites it came down to the following three.1. GMC Topkick, made by Kent Bicycle.2. Polaris RMK made by Ming Cycle in Taiwan (seen above)3. Victory Vegas Low---Ming CycleAlthough the GMC Topkick is a 4-star bike, I ruled it out because it is more bulky looking and itis a few pounds heavier than the other 2 bikes and there were many reviews claiming a front dérailleurshifting (inherent) problem and complaints the handlebars could not be raised.The Polaris RMK comes in with great reviews and a 4 1/2 star rating. But in just one day Amazon raisedits price from 199 dollars to 267 dollars(nov 20,2010). -----After some more investigation it turned outthat the Polaris RMK is exactly the same bike as the Victory Vegas Low only with different colors and name.The Victory is selling for a lot less than the Polaris and is (as of this date)189 dollars at Meijer,(whereI bought mine, see below).The Polaris and the Victory are made by Ming Cycle out of Taiwan and distributed by anAmerican company---Cycle Force Group. Ming Cycle makes different brand name mountain bikes,like Polaris, Kawasaki, Victory, Mantis, all of these can be found on Amazon and retailerslike Wall Mart, Target and Sears.------As it turns out the Polaris and the Victory are Ming's topof the line dual suspension mountain bike with upgraded wheels and front disk brake and 19"frameand generally reviewed and rated better than some of the mountain bikes that sell for more. So basedon reviews and ratings I think for a dual suspension mountain bike with front disk brakesthe Polaris or Victory is the way to go ---except that the Polaris price has been increased too much,So go with the Victory Vegas Low, its the same bike!!!! and can be found on amazon but It can be boughtas of todays date 11-30-10 at Wall mart or Meijer's for under 200 dollars and with free shipping.---A review for Victory is a review for Polaris and vise/versa. See my complete review for the Victoryon Amazon and Walmart.----Best dual suspension mountain bike for the money. 5stars12-12-2010---Now Amazon lowered their price again even lower than the Victory Vegas and you can find it on Miejers for 187 dollars. Apparently Amazon raises the price when Walmart and Miejiers runs out of stock, then when they get restocked and have the lower price Amazon lowers their price------Anyways they are both the same bike so you have your choice of colors and one of them will always have the lower price.

3Overpriced
By Gregory J. Forzano
Do not buy this for more than 200$I was about to purchase for this price untill the day a wanted to order it. Amazon raised the price. I asked two days later for the advertised price. Told no. I found it advertised for less at Costco. Amazon refused to match the price.I have the bike now not from amazon. It is good polaris continues to make a good product. Unfortunately consistency is not a practice of Amazon.com. However polaris is still into it

2Not as good as reviews indicate
By Michael B.
I bought this bike and just received it a week ago. I had it professionally assembled. The front disk brake is not/not a good component, poorly designed, and does not work. The bike store stated it was not standard, and it is very rough even after several adjustments. The gears are not as smooth as other reviews indicated. They shift just as rough as other cheap bikes with cheap components. I was really excited to get this bike for my 10yr old son after reading the reviews, and was disappointed after it was assembled. I suppose you get what you pay for, but I was certainly expecting more. I agree with jesse d flynn's review more than any other on this site.
