Overview

Mongoose built the Legion L20 as a park, street and dirt freestyle bike with a Hi-Ten steel frame and tapered head tube. Removable brake mounts, a U-brake and wide aluminum rims with BMX tires complete the build.

The reason to look at it is the real BMX geometry and parts list, which means a young rider can learn tricks on a bike that is built for them rather than a toy. The limitation is weight and the one-speed drivetrain, which make it a poor choice for long pedaling rides.

Who it's for

A big kid who already rides confidently and wants to learn freestyle on a purpose-built frame gets the most from it. Small children, or anyone planning long road rides, will find it heavy and limited.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Real freestyle BMX geometry
  • Removable brake mounts
  • Wide rims with BMX tires
  • Frame and parts warranties listed
Cons
  • Single speed only
  • Needs assembly out of the box
  • Heavy for a smaller child

Performance notes

Wide tires and a rigid frame hold the bike steady when landing, and the short gearing gets it moving quickly from a standstill. With no suspension, the rider and the chromoly cranks take the impact of every drop.
