Currently Unavailable – Consider This Vilano Ridge 1.0 with two color choices
If you’re looking something under $300, then you should consider this bike. It has everything you need.
The all new Vilano Blackjack 29er is a complete redesign of the old model. It’s equally at ease on trail, dirt road & paths, or pavement – everywhere! The frame is a lightweight handcrafted 6061 aluminum and together with the suspension fork this bike allows you to cruise over obstacles. The Shimano EzFire shifters provide, fast accurate shifting. The front and rear disc brakes provide plenty of stopping power in all conditions.
It doesn’t have racing geometry, but still handles itself pretty well in the forest.
NB! The breaks need to wear in a bit to be safely used on a paved road!
