My husband bought this bike for me for mother's day and I love it. I like the wide wheels and the ease of use. I can keep up with my kids in the park and in the neighborhood and the gear shifts are easy to use. It also doesn't hurt my back like other bikes where you have to hunch over more. The seat can use a little more cushioning, but otherwise it is a great bike.

we searched far and wide for a new bike for my daughter. shopped the local bike shop first. i was terribly disappointed to see $389+ for heavy trek and specialized brand chinese made bikes with generic brand components. that's NOT going happen at ALL. i love my local bike shop, but unless they carry a higher quality product... they're not getting my money. bikes in the $350-450 price range use to have air sprung forks, dual wall rims, shimano deore DX or LX components and quality non-threaded headsets. those days are, apparently, long gone.
i happened on the SX2000 at a local one-stop-shop store, Meijer. identical components as the treks and specializeds at the LBS, still made in china, SRAM 3.0 shifters, identical SR suntour front fork. all this, was for $199+ tax. that's nearly half the price! local bike shop, take note!
now... the big advantage for the SX2000 over the "major" brand bikes.... a noticeably lighter aluminum frame. this is a fine bicycle for the casual rider for both street and dirt use and I expect will serve my daughter well for many years. everything is upgradeable if my daughter decides to take MTBing more seriously, like her dad.

in reference to the prior reviewer noting a frame error, where the front wheel hits the pedal...
this must have been an isolated incident. there is at least 6" between the pedal, fully forward and the front tire with the handle bars turned as close to the pedal as possible.

Most comfortable bike I have ever had. The price and shipping is great, the packaging is excellent. If you're having issues with the wheel hitting the pedals, you have to adjust the "camber" so that the wheel is angled outward, the earlier reviews are unfair if you take into account that they had to put it a certain way to fit it in the box and you have to adjust it yourself. I love the women-specific design of this bike. I hated how awful my old bike was on my back and butt, this new one was almost worth the old one getting stolen. They can have that back straining thing. Be sure to get a theft resistant u-bar lock and a specialty seat, I got the one recommended with this bike and it's sooooo much better.
