ROYCE UNION RMT 27.5" Mens 21-Speed All-Terrain Mountain Bike, 18" Aluminum Frame, Twist Shift, Matte Black

I ride this bike to work and back, and so far it’s given me almost no problem at all. Easy assembly, and a smooth ride. The only issue is that the seat was a bit uncomfortable, so I had to replace the seat with a different one. Otherwise, a very nice bike.

Overall it is a great bike. I give the bike 5 stars but I have to give 4 stats because it arrived late. This is not a highend bike so don't expect highend hardware like quick release wheels. With that said the hardware is extremely strong. The frame is heavy duty and much more than I expected for the price. I am 6'4" 300lbs and the frame barely flexed under my weight. The barrings struggle under my extreme weight but when my friend (225lbs) rode the bike there was no squeaking or signs of struggle. The brakes seem good and they were able to stop me in a reasonable distance. I like the tires they are wide and not overly aggressive. I think they will do good on trails and they are great on the road. They produce less drag than expected. The rear end is set up to accept a luggage rack. Gears seem to shift smoothly. If I could change one thing about this bike it would be ride position, but that is difficult to find in stock bike. For the price I am not sure there is a better city/trail bike for an entry level rider on the market. This bike seems to be on par with the Specialized 'Hard Rock' I had stolen. Do not buy the 22" if you have less than a 38" inseam I have a 39 1/2" inseam and I barley fit this frame. In the future if the company makes a hybrid with this frame I will buy one.

I really like this bike. Lightweight and a smooth ride. I use it on roads, trails, gravel with no problem. Good hybrid bike. I've ridden Specialized, Trek, Cannondales and this bike is at least up to par with the budget lines of those brands. BUT, the seat is the only thing lacking. It is narrow, BARELY padded and uncomfortable. So youll probably want to replace that, which is fine since you can get seats for cheap and installation is easy.

The bike was easy to order, it was delivered on time, easy to assemble and rides great! It is just what I was looking for versus higher priced bikes. Plus, Customer Service was very responsive with a question I had.

Bike arrived with a defective front fork, also bent spokes which I just bent back. I put together a few bikes and this one was pretty easy, I just wish I could ride it. Edit: almost a month later and replacement part has yet to arrive...still sitting as a pile of junk on my floor. What an absolute waste of money, don't make the same mistake I did. Re edit: After a month of waiting for the replacement part I called them back. After the initial call they said the product would be shipped promptly and arrive within 7-10 days. Today they told me the part was on back order, hasn't shipped and they have no idea when it will. I then contacted amazon for a return but it's a huge hassle, all just to get my money back. DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS COMPANY!!!!!!! They straight up lied to me in hopes the return window would expire. Re Re Edit: Amazon will not take the return, so no I'm basically stuck with a 500$ heap of metal on the ground I cant use or send back. I WILL NEVER ORDER FROM AMAZON AGAIN

Bike is good. Only few issues: - first was with front wheel bearing, it was tightened too strong, weel hardly spinned. Loosened a bit. - brakes had too much of free way before they start actually slowing down the wheels. Adjusted it also. Now bike brakes work well. Additionally ordered different seat, fenders and front and rear lights. Would recommend if you have a bit clue how it works, because if you expected bike to be perfect out of the box, most likely you will be disappointed. Otherwise bike is good. Thank you.

Pros: I'm 6'8" with a 38" inseam. Sturdy aluminum frame takes my weight easily and is still light enough to lift and put on storage/carry rack with minimal effort. Heavy-duty suspension fork also holds up well, and with large wheels and tires gives a smooth ride. Gearshift action is smooth and precise. Cons: If you're going to build a bike frame for people with a 37+ inch inseam, how about remembering that most humans are not cartoon characters with legs twice as long as their upper half? The seat tube, head tube, and pedals were all standard size. I was unable to adjust the seat to the correct height and still insert it to the marked minimum safe length; the handlebars were far too low; and my feet slipped off the tiny pedals. I had to buy an extended seat tube, head tube, front brake cable, and pedal extensions to make the bike rideable. Also the manual was generic and made assembly more difficult. Overall: Despite the extra time and money needed to fit this bike, it's still a pretty good value compared to the $700-plus my local bike shop wanted for something to fit me. The comfort rating is for the bike itself; I would give it 4 stars if it had included the correct-size peripheral parts.

not light weight even though alloy frame, front derailler wont adjust for all gears- I set mine to the two highest, as a regular rider some years ago; time to get back on the bike, seat not bad height not bad even for an old guy, brakes not bad after adjustment, added toe clips, no cleats this time, remember you get what you pay for I might upgrade later but good for now, also tires are more street than trail

I am 6'3" / 191 cm and weigh in around 265lbs / 120 Kilos. My body shape is relatively long legs , but also a lot of my height comes from my Torso. This made the handlebars too low for me so read on to see how that was addressed. Initial Impressions: Bike came on schedule and it was well packaged. There were no issues with parts missing, flat tires , or any other issues I have read about in the other reviews. The bike comes mostly assembled. My #1 recommendation is search You-Tube for Royce Union Bike assembly. I found the printed manual incomplete and somewhat confusing. The you tube video is about 12 minutes and it was perfect. Once assembled took it for a quick ride. Gear shifting takes a little getting use to, but after a few rides I have gotten use to it. I raised the seat but could not raise the handlebars. The saddle it came with was brutally uncomfortable so I ordered a new one. I also took it to the local bike shop and had a new riser (to raise the handlebars) put in. The break cables were long enough with the extension so I did not have to replace those (had I know this I probably would have done it myself). Now with raised handlebars , new more comfortable saddle it's a joy to ride so far. Other upgrades include kickstand , bell and odometer. So overall an extra $150 or so. For now very satisfied with the purchase along with the upgrades mentioned. I ride mostly roads with some trails. Bike feels solid and I am a big guy. I will update as I get more time on it.

front tire has a bad valve cant hold any air. instructions are the worst thing I've ever seen bike is solid don't get me wrong but the hassle of taking it apart.. putting it back in the box and waiting for an exchange? I would rather just pay someone to fix the tire on my own.. bike is solid and seems like a great bike but one bad part isn't worth the pain the box back up.

Makes a funny noise when I pedal so if you don't wanna hear a clicking noise every 5 seconds don't buy. Otherwise great bike I'd buy again

Flat and broken tire after 1 ride!!!!!!
