Overview
An aluminum, dual-suspension mountain bike from Kent's North Woods line, sold in 24 inch or 26 inch wheel sizes with a 21-speed Shimano derailleur drivetrain.
The frame is 6061 heat-treated aluminum, bringing the bike to about 36 pounds despite the added suspension. Kent has built bikes since 1907, which is the closest thing to a track record the listing offers since no buyer reviews are included in this data.

Who it's for

Performance notes
The 6061 aluminum frame keeps total weight near 36 pounds while front and rear suspension take the edge off bumps on trails and streets. Front alloy rims paired with linear pull brakes provide the stopping power, and the 21-speed Shimano derailleur covers a wide gear range for hills, shifted with a simple wrist twist. The seat post uses a quick release clamp so saddle height adjusts without tools.
