Schwinn 405 Reviews

Model/Year: 405/2009

Pros: This is an exceptional intermediate bike. So far strong and quick. Comes w/ quality parts.

Cons: A bit heavy for an advanced rider. Parts are not as good as $2,000 bikes.

Recommendation: So far it has been a great bike. I've owned it for 3 years and spent $700 at my local bike shop for it. Liked it better than the Giant I tested within same price range. It has the same parts as the Mongoose Comp, and base Cannondale. Also Schwinn stopped making these racing series. Now you can only choose std trail bikes they offer with crappy parts for $400 at target. If interested in something like this go for the Mongoose or cannondale base models.

Pros: solid frame takes all I give it and I weigh 215 pounds

Cons: heavy !

Recommendation: I lost alot of weight off the bike by upgrading suspention and rims. Still weighs 33.4 pounds
