The Mongoose Thrive - Grinding In Style

By Joel Colman


For Mongoose, BMX is second-nature! The company began its operations by providing wheels, of unmatchable quality, for BMX bikes. Today, that commitment to BMX continues as it designs & manufactures some of the world's best machines for this unique biking circuit.

If ever there was the need to create an "example bike" to demonstrate how a real BMX bike should behave, the Mongoose Thrive would be it.

There is something about the Thrive that is wildly uncommon - something that you just cannot put your finger on. It isn't a part or a feature or the mind-boggling things you can do with it - it's something more! From performance and comfort to stunts and safety, this is one bike that can take whatever you can dish out!

Fully Loaded and Ready to Rock

With many companies contributing to the BMX phenomenon finding new technologies and designs would seem to be a challenge. However Mongoose comes through again with their idea of adding a full-Chromoly fork to their BMX banger. A truly great idea! Every enthusiast knows that Chromley is the strongest out there, but what if the entire fork was a single unit?

Mongoose has indeed given us and single piece fork, but they didn't stop there. The Mongoose thrive also comes with massive handle bars and pedals by Odyssey for excellent comfort and performance. This also provides safer landings and higher jumps. Mongoose also has a "street" package with pegs and gyro breaks for fine grinding.

In addition, the Rush levers, the Tektro stock alloy brakes were specifically chosen for those tough riding moves. This bike company has truly invested time and effort to provide that "special something" so riders can enjoy that biking experience. This is one incredible machine!

Heavy Performance but Not Heavy on the Wallet

When it's time to break out the cash, $370 to $400 isn't so bad considering it's still $50 - $80 less the what an average 20" BMX usually runs you. And since we aren't talking about a "average" bike here, and considering Mongoose never does anything average in build or quality, this price could be certainly be considered a steal.

Not only do you get a supreme bike with world class parts and a wonderful ride, you get it for a price that would normally get you much less of a bike. Since it's already a good deal, finding it for cheaper will be a hard task, no one gives up this bike once they bought it since the bike is the bleed edge technology in the ever growing BMX world.
