Everything we learned developing BMX bicycles, about dirt, rocks, jumps, trails and the kind of damage they can inflict on a bicycle were incorporated into our Mongoose all-terrain line. We used the rid. ing expertise of John Tomac and Max Jones along with their knowledge of components to put together the best possible performance all-terrain bicycle package. Today's Mongoose all-terrain line includes six models, ranging from the affordable Switchback to the uncompromised John Tomac Signature edition bicycle. Much of the information from our racing teams came together for the development of the incredible Mangusta aluminum composite road bicycle. Introduced in 1987 the Mangusta's success has demonstrated Mongoose's capability as a full line performance bicycle maker. The Mangusta line incorporates much of the engineering and component experience we developed during our years developing award winning BMX and Freestyle bicy-cles. The geometry is the result of the input from John Tomac during the development of our performance all-terrain bicycle line. As a result, the Mangusta like any of our other models will always represent the latest input of components and geometry from our winning riders "in the field." Mongooses continuing involvement with BMX, Freestyle and Mountain Bike riders will help us stay on the leading edge of performance and technology. Ultimately that means every Mongoose model you choose will always represent the best possible combination of quality, performance and value.
