The 27.5" wheels make a difference for me. It's a little more off the ground and seems to ride easier, although I may just be imagining this. I really like this bike and am very glad I bought it. It rides smoothly, quietly, and with little real effort. The handlebars are comfortable and much wider than on most mountain bike types sold today. Good looking and quite comfortable. I put on a different, wider seat, as most seats that come with new bikes are so thin that they seem to wedge their way up the cheeks of my rear end. Other than that little change I would strongly recommend this bike. Great ride, and Great price. Don't think you will be at all disappointed if you purchase this bike.

I bought this bike yesterday at the local Walmart store. It was already assembled. Took it home and rode it around the neighborhood. I was pleased with the bike, the assembly and the price. I am older and just looking for a basic "cruiser" bike that would be comfortable, but would also have 5-7 gears. This bike fit the needs very well, it is quite comfortable to sit on (handlebar position, seat adjustment, etc. are all good). I like that the price was very reasonable, and less than what some other retailers are asking for the same bike - so overall - very happy!
