Overview
The Throne Cycles Goon 29er is a fixed-gear urban bike built for street riding, wheelies, and light trail use, with a 16T fixed cog and rear brake as shipped. It is available across 24, 26, 27.5, and 29-inch wheel sizes with single speed, single speed with disc brake, and 10-speed configurations.
Throne designs this as a flexible platform rather than a single fixed setup: riders can run it brakeless, freewheel, or geared depending on what they bolt on. Reviewers who bought it for wheelies, gifts, or general street riding are largely happy, though a couple of buyers ran into missing instructions or parts on arrival.

- Configurable brakeless, freewheel, or geared setup
- Available in 24", 26", 27.5", and 29" wheel sizes

Who it's for
Riders and gift buyers who want a durable, configurable urban bike for street riding, wheelies, and trick riding. Less suited to anyone who wants a bike that requires no local shop follow-up, since a few buyers needed a shop visit to sort out assembly or a broken part.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Owners describe the frame quality and workmanship as standing out, with one local bike shop owner giving it a favorable review despite being unfamiliar with the Throne brand. It is repeatedly chosen for teenage and young riders and for learning wheelies. The main complaints are inconsistent assembly instructions, with one buyer receiving no directions and a broken chain out of the box, and a pedal bearing noise noted by another otherwise satisfied rider.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Durable build praised by owners and at least one bike shop

- Well suited to wheelie practice and street riding

Performance notes
The 16T fixed cog and rear brake setup as shipped is meant as a starting point, with riders free to convert it toward brakeless, freewheel, or geared configurations. Reviewers consistently describe the frame and components as durable enough for daily street riding, wheelies, and jumps, and one bike shop owner unfamiliar with the Throne brand reportedly gave the build a positive review after assembling it.
