Reviews
Below are some critical reviews about Mantis Orchid Suspension Mountain WheelsTheis bike feels like a cheap Walmart/Kmart quality bike. Purchased it for $200, and it's not worth it. It's heavy, can't tell the difference between this and a regular steel frame bike. The shifters are very rough and don't work very well. The brakes are ok, the pedals are mostly plastic. The lowest gear is much to high for a mountain bike, you'll burn out your legs going uphilil (the rear wheel gear discs are too small). You would be better off going to Walmart and buying their cheapest bike. I wouldn't recommend this purchase to anyone.
Bought it for my wife. Heavier then expected. Package was all torn up and had holes in it, and the front wheel was slightly bent. Didnt realized the wheels was bent until i assembled the bike. I would definelty check the box that it comes in... if its all torn up and have holes, return it without even opening it. Other then the slight bent wheel, everything else was good. Luckily a local bike shop fixed the bent wheel for free.
Its not that great for out door- the tires dont grip that well in the dirt but its good for the price i guess

I am at a three right now. The packaging on this bike was horrible, It was all torn up and hard to move since the bike was just thrown in there and would just move all around when you moved the box. Gives you a good understanding of why the box was all torn up. I am also struggling with the direction on how to assemble. I am slowly working through it but they are not super helpful. I am at the point of adjusting the front brakes. All in all, it looks pretty good assembled and I am unsure of how it rides yet. All in all, I like it so far.
It's beautiful and impressive looking. The only bad thing was I had to pay a bike store to put it together, which cost another $100. I was shocked how difficult it was to put together so consider yourself forewarned.
Bought for my wife, great bike. Easy to assemble. Holds up great too. The shipping box was trashed by UPS, the driver tried to run off w/o a signature. I almost refused it because of some large holes in the box, not knowing if something was missing or not. So the only complaint, is the box isn't very sturdy that they ship it in and UPS likes to play soccer with the boxes...other than that, this was a great bike for the price.
