 Polaris RMK and Victory Vegas LowNov 29, 2010
By fire105
"ALLAN"
11-29-10. This will not be a standard review but will have some helpful hints---hope it will help you.
My Goal was to find (using reviews and ratings) the best dual suspension/disk brake mountain bike
for under 300 dollars
Based on reviews and ratings from different web sites it came down to the following three.
1. GMC Topkick, made by Kent Bicycle.
2. Polaris RMK made by Ming Cycle in Taiwan (seen above)
3. Victory Vegas Low---Ming Cycle
Although the GMC Topkick is a 4-star bike, I ruled it out because it is more bulky looking and it
is a few pounds heavier than the other 2 bikes and there were many reviews claiming a front dérailleur
shifting (inherent) problem and complaints the handlebars could not be raised.
The Polaris RMK comes in with great reviews and a 4 1/2 star rating. But in just one day Amazon raised
its price from 199 dollars to 267 dollars(nov 20,2010). -----After some more investigation it turned out
that the Polaris RMK is exactly the same bike as the Victory Vegas Low only with different colors and name.
The Victory is selling for a lot less than the Polaris and is (as of this date)189 dollars at Meijer,(where
I bought mine, see below).
The Polaris and the Victory are made by Ming Cycle out of Taiwan and distributed by an
American company---Cycle Force Group. Ming Cycle makes different brand name mountain bikes,
like Polaris, Kawasaki, Victory, Mantis, all of these can be found on Amazon and retailers
like Wall Mart, Target and Sears.------As it turns out the Polaris and the Victory are Ming's top
of the line dual suspension mountain bike with upgraded wheels and front disk brake and 19"frame
and generally reviewed and rated better than some of the mountain bikes that sell for more. So based
on reviews and ratings I think for a dual suspension mountain bike with front disk brakes
the Polaris or Victory is the way to go ---except that the Polaris price has been increased too much,
So go with the Victory Vegas Low, its the same bike!!!! and can be found on amazon but It can be bought
as of todays date 11-30-10 at Wall mart or Meijer's for under 200 dollars and with free shipping.
---A review for Victory is a review for Polaris and vise/versa. See my complete review for the Victory
on Amazon and Walmart.----Best dual suspension mountain bike for the money. 5stars
12-12-2010---Now Amazon lowered their price again even lower than the Victory Vegas and you can find it on Miejers for 187 dollars. Apparently Amazon raises the price when Walmart and Miejiers runs out of stock, then when they get restocked and have the lower price Amazon lowers their price------Anyways they are both the same bike so you have your choice of colors and one of them will always have the lower price.

 TerribleSep 26, 2011
By Dave
This bike arrived damaged. The box was torn open, and the crank was bent and destroyed. Even if it had arrived intact, the bike is considerably smaller and of a lesser quality than advertised. I still have not received my reimbursement, although I have sent the product back and submitted my return form at amazon.com. A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY!

DO NOT BUYSep 01, 2011
By jesse d flynn
I read all of the reviews, thought that it was going to be a great bike. It came with a flat, the rear brakes did not work, the front brakes eventually gave out (2 weeks) the gears hardly switched, and it just felt like riding a bike that had 200 miles on it. I ended up returning the bike, it was really bad. Every time I went and road this bike, I had to tweak it and fix it when I came back. SAVE YOUR TIME AND MONEY, DO NOT BUY THIS BIKE. I suggested my friend buy it as well, and he had all of the same problems as I did. I don't know who reviewed this, but it was just pathetic. DO NOT BUY!!!
On a positive note, it only took me 5 days to get my money back after returning it. DO NOT BUY! I'm not kidding this thing is a real piece of junk.
 Not as good as reviews indicateSep 07, 2011
By Michael B.
I bought this bike and just received it a week ago. I had it professionally assembled. The front disk brake is not/not a good component, poorly designed, and does not work. The bike store stated it was not standard, and it is very rough even after several adjustments. The gears are not as smooth as other reviews indicated. They shift just as rough as other cheap bikes with cheap components. I was really excited to get this bike for my 10yr old son after reading the reviews, and was disappointed after it was assembled. I suppose you get what you pay for, but I was certainly expecting more. I agree with jesse d flynn's review more than any other on this site.
good value!Aug 28, 2011
By ricapie
We bought this bike 1 month ago for my 11 y/o son who rides it 1.3 miles to school each day (jumping every curb & bump along the way. He is 5'2 & the bike fits him well(seat low position) with room to grow.
Assembly, It arrived mostly put together. We (mom & son) attached pedals, handlebar, seat & front tire(quick release anyway) without problems. The gears were pre-assembled & needed nothing further. The brakes (incl. front wheel disk) were also pre-assembled & needed some adjustment(dad). Parts were undamaged on arrival.
Performance, my son says the shocks are "smooth" The gears are working fine. He has had one more brake adjustment.
Considering my son is still growing, & the possibility of the bike being stolen, we didn't want to spend $1000+ for a name brand 'full suspension' bike. We are satisfied with the quality of this bike - a good value!
