Vilano Blackjack 29er review
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!

About the Author
Hey! My name is Jeff!
I ride simply because I love to. There is nothing about cycling that I don’t like! I sometimes take part in group-rides and compete in races. I also work with other riders, teaching them how to get better on trickier, technical trails.
I aim to inspire riders to greater interest and activity. There was a few year period when I didn’t ride at all, cause I just couldn’t afford one really. I figured that decent bikes cost a lot and the cheap ones are all crap. Turns out, I was wrong, there are actually many excellent bikes on the market.
I’ve outlined some tips on how to choose and what to buy on my website. Once you pick out the bike for you, I’ll see on the trails!
