Bought this bike and returned it same day It's not good for around town The gear shifting is uncomfortable compared to other mountain bikes With only one front sprocket the bike has poor top speed If your goal is to ride uphill, this bike has great acceleration but other than that, this bike has little to offer if your looking for a bike to get around town Not made to go fast, only good for slow trails
Comment from : @JoeyMossBBG

Hey would you ever upgrade this mountain bike???? It would make a great video!
Comment from : @JohnnyFlores-n8o

I just started biking , and this is the first bike i went with, only because my dad gifted me it, the bike rides really smooth!!! Im not expert , but i can say this bike does exceptionally well in the city, ive yet to test it on an actual trail but that day will come soon 😅 i love this bike !!!!

seat post díameter size?
Comment from : @helioav

I have measured mine several times and I get a head tube angel of 67 when it had the stock fork This frame can also accept up to a 2° angle set Which I’m getting ready to do it’s really a great little frame but I think the 69° number is off Thanks for your review
Comment from : @KISstupid

I want to take this baby on a trail Any list of necessary upgrades I should make before embarking on this endeavor would be appreciated?
Comment from : @casiusr3ricktherulr29

can this bike be shipped to FPO address
Comment from : @thezelona1

So it seem like a nice beginners bike and you gave lots of specks which is nice but what size would you say the frame is
Comment from : @jetskier209

Lever shifters as called here may be known to others as rapid fire shifters, mainly because pro grade bikes referred to them as this when they were first conceived in the 90's
Comment from : @mattjacoby6423

Is this a good bike for someone that’s 6’5
Comment from : @outtlaw324

Is this the same bike as the Dicks Nishiki Colorado from a couple years back?
Comment from : @trevorphillips2868

I’m looking at either buying this bike or the Axum dp I’ma a beginner looking for a good bike
Comment from : @luisalonzo3832

I need an opinion6'5 250 would this be a option for me ? Thank you
Comment from : @702pow

Lmao I'm sorry but 40lb for a mountain bike is unbearable
Comment from : @samb7395

I'm 6'5" what size bike should I buy? Should I buy a 29er
Comment from : @kennnethbrown7582

Comment from : @kennnethbrown7582

I love Schwinn Bikes
Comment from : @kennnethbrown7582

How is it doing
Comment from : @elpatronoriginal

I've had my ascension for YEARS now and I just recently switched it to and 8 speed casset, it's a fantastic bike and very durable
Comment from : @gamesandstuff5170

What ever happened to the axium
Comment from : @codyengle7324

Hi Kev! I bought this bike since it was the only big box 29er I could find, last one in the store, so far I’ve done a bontrager wheel set, a 7 speed cassette, Fooker pedals, a hydraulic front brake, and grips So far it’s comfortably handled every black diamond trail I’ve thrown at it
Comment from : @justdrive1117

I'm really considering this one for my new daily rideafter I upgrade itany more videos on this one kev?
Comment from : @Michael-dj4vq

The Schwinn ascension went up to 399$ lmao
Comment from : @nervy4362

you are right about the fork that fork has more flex than a zip tiefirst up grade is going to be that fork and headset is the headset going to be the same size as the the other schwinn fork upgrade you did i believe you said the size 56/40
Comment from : @timhall4154

I asked the same thing on the ardor video This may be another option to build into an urban assault bike with street tires and a rigid fork
Comment from : @laf733715

why isnt this bike sold on Schwinn website?
Comment from : @DannyPacheco-j6f

I enjoyed the video the Ascension is not a boundary but I do like it internal cables I like that the 185 tube seat tube I like that it's okay thank you Kevin
Comment from : @lamonttucker2842

I got this for Father's Day and I am really enjoying it! I'm 5'7 and the bike feels good Upgrading components and spending time with my 17yr old son is the best part! I want to change out the tires to Maxxixs Aggressors 293" or Continental and go tubeless Are these wheels tubeless ready or will I need to buy new ones? Thanks and your channel is really great!
Comment from : @brianhutson2337

This bike is TRASH! First day riding Coyote Creek Trail, that is a paved trail the chain snapped 🤷‍♂️
Comment from : @TuRF_HaWG_SJ_408

It's not mentioned that I noticed Does anyone know the dropout spacing on this bike frame if you wanted to upgrade the drivetrain?
Comment from : @Pudnut

I came across one at my local Target today The welds look good and the bike has a nice aesthetic I did notice, however, that it was improperly set up The shifting needs to be completely redone Brakes were not right But all that should be easy if one knows a little bit about bikesbrbrIt sure would be nice if it had a cassette
Comment from : @peterbaskind9872

Question would trekking bars or risers be a could option? I'm 6'2" but I want a more upright riding position
Comment from : @gprime3702

I’m trying not to return this bike:( I just got it and I can’t pedal fast enough even on the highest gear downhill :( it’s too slow downhill to gain speed to go up hill that’s my only thing? My question is can I add gears ?
Comment from : @AiiRiiCK

Are the decals removable?
Comment from : @1keeofficial

Being 6'2 would this bike be big enough for me?
Comment from : @johnbonair3518

Boundary vs ascension Which would you get for someone just getting into biking?
Comment from : @nobleseals3181

QUESTION I want to upgrade the Front Fork on this bike, but when I look online the sizes available are 26, 275 & 29 Do you know which size fork that I need to fit this bike? Because you indicated 60mm??? Confused Thx!
Comment from : @VinnyDoesLife

I picked one up and found the bottom tube was not welded to the bottom of the bottom bracket It looks like the weld was omitted for the internal cable routing for the rear brake Not impressed
Comment from : @gregorymason9416

That bike has potential
Comment from : @BicMichuM

What size is the bottom bracket
Comment from : @mtbjun4936

Anyone have fork upgrade recommendations? Bought one with a defective fork and the replacement from Schwinn is backordered After a few inexpensive upgrades this is a great bike, but the fork is really holding it back
Comment from : @rimbres

Your next project?
Comment from : @1234ahhh1

Just stumble on to your channel I'm an older newbie who just wants to do some light riding with the kids I bought both the Ascension and the GT aggressor pro 2021 from dick's sporting goods One is going back Which one do you recommend I keep?
Comment from : @mindocean1464

Trying to decide between this and the Boundary Help me decide please?
Comment from : @aidanwhunter

I just got one, how are the forks? Mine started having less resistance
Comment from : @jaime4701

Are tapered head tubes standardized? im not familiar with the taper side of things what would that taper be if there isnt a standard?
Comment from : @skelitalmisfit12

Just picked this bike up for $250, would be awesome to see a build on it, for what I paid, definitely worth it
Comment from : @evilbong182

For $369 and casual easy trails; nice deal
Comment from : @usmc29er44

Can you replace the suspension fork to make it better for going over rougher terrain
Comment from : @MrFLAME-wl7ws

I got an Axum not long ago and I kind of honestly like the ascension better seeing as though by the time I’m done the only thing that will be left is the frame anyways so the internal routing is a huge win plus it just looks sick but that being said I’m still super happy with my axum
Comment from : @Stolas1777

Late ReplyBut the fork is a deal killer not just the short travel but it looks dangerous I would consider and upgrade, but I also intend to ride for a few months before changing the fork It makes me worry that other unseen components are deficient NO PURCHASE Thanks for reading!
Comment from : @21degrees

SCHWINN ASCENTION OR THE SCHWINN AXUM DP? Which is better for the price point?
Comment from : @GK-fp9rf

What would be a good fork for the ascension
Comment from : @boazbeach2969

Schwinn Bonafidebrbr Do this one please
Comment from : @swagbear5496

I swear Walmart is giving better deals on mountain bikes like the Schwinn Taff 29 inch rims duel disk brakes the front shock is not the best lol 😂 Other than that the bike is pretty fast I don’t get the front gears ⚙️ By the petals Why is the gear so small there’s only one gear I go through the gears so fast and I’m almost gone all most 50 miles an hour I’m passing everybody with a beaver on my back 🦫 LMFAORN 😂🤣 Everybody’s jealous because I have a beaver on my back 🦫
Comment from : @brichardsfourty

I buy me one yesterday an very happy thanks kevcentral for the info
Comment from : @mtbjun4936

What would be a good upgrade fork for cheap
Comment from : @boazbeach2969

Nice detail in the brake discs is the Schwinn logo Overall a very nice looking bike
Comment from : @triggeredcat120

Schwinn be watching these videos
Comment from : @bikelifemedia2191

just want to warn everyone, target doesnt exactly have expert bike builders, the one i got was very poorly put together, lots of loose bolts, rotors were rubbing very bad, handle bards were very loose, chain wasnt lubed, make sure you inspect it thoroughly, can be very dangerous if you do not
Comment from : @mattgotsskill

Been waiting years for 7 speed to get larger than a 34t,now we need somebody to market wide range 7 speed cassettes!
Comment from : @stephenhisel9395

How come Giant cannot paint their bikes that beautiful ?
Comment from : @armandojuan64

Do the huffy marker
Comment from : @vincentsimon7870

would this be good for primary pavement but occasional dirt roads?
Comment from : @mattgotsskill

looks like gtx3 i got mine on Saturday ty dicks very happy with it
Comment from : @pokerbosscycler

Boss can I put a 26 wide tire on the Schwinn Ascension?
Comment from : @ANTONIORODRIGUEZ-wj3mf

Boss question I want to upgrade my bike I got a Auxm and Schwinn Ascension which one is better ? Frame ! which is better? I got the DP 2020 but fell its a bit big for me? So Not sure to get the 2021 in Blue Not the DP red not a fan of red ,or get the Acension like the black colorSo boss which frame is better? This way I can upgrade
Comment from : @ANTONIORODRIGUEZ-wj3mf

So I'm planning on getting my first "real mountain bike" do you think this is good buy for a beginner? Like what I'm used to is mountain bikes that are 150 bucks and are made my mongoose 🤮 I have never even tried to take it out on the trail because I dont wanna die lol So do you think that this is a good bike for a beginner and wont get me killed?
Comment from : @elliott_tapp042

at least US walmart has better and great choices for MTB here in Canada walmart MTB are all GARBAGE!!!
Comment from : @edmontoncouple1562

Another nice ride as always Kav good job 👍🔧
Comment from : @terrellstewart1532

I wish a big box bike of this calibre was available in Australia
Comment from : @yehnahthx

What happens to the geometry of these bikes when u add a 120mm fork? Does it make it too slack for xc and climbing?
Comment from : @dylandean5043

As always a great review with all of the pertinent information Your reviews are perfect for these times when it's not always possible to see the bike in person brI think this bike fall short of expectations for the price Internal cable routing isn't something that I drool over, so with that said a Boundary is a better value and with its external cable routing an external routed dropper would fit right in
Comment from : @dougse-bike9770

I simply don't understand why the big box bikes can't put a decent head tube angle so you can upgrade to a better fork At least build the frame so you can put an upgraded fork of 120mm I would trade that for the internal cable routing and other features for a better head tube angle 60mm is simply not a enough travel Might as well put a sold fork on it rather than a crappy 60mm travel junk fork
Comment from : @adamsmith1728

Great video KevbrSchwinn is going after the TREK Marlin market brThe new 2021 RED/BLUE Axum DPbrIt's a shame that they don't have the same bike at 🎯br14-38t 7speed vs 11-40t 8speed ?
Comment from : @Not_Sure_

What is making the the bike so heavy?
Comment from : @dylanmajoos1861

38 pounds for a hard tail lost my interest
Comment from : @MrStingraybernard

Hey Kev I purchased this bike a few weeks ago and have only had it on streets and light off roads trails and enjoy it I’m curious as to what fork and headset you’d recommend to upgrade to for a reasonable price I’ve looked at bucklos forks and Jessica headsets to mate with but have been waiting for a video of someone changing out there current set up
Comment from : @DukerK14

Looks like my 2020 Roscoe 8
Comment from : @aaronsosnoski1017
