Wow, at 29 feet that's one big bike. Probably worth it just for the scrap metal value alone at that point.

But, seriously, inches is " not '.

This or Specialized Enduro S works 29"?

Tough choice
Just flip a coin, you can't go wrong with either of them...

This is a really good and steady bike if you're riding on trails or want a good workout. It has good gear ratios too for going up steep slopes effortlessly. And you never have to worry about it failing on you on the road. I've had this bike for 8+ years now and it's still perfect condition.

The dual suspension and mountain bike wheels make it loose a lot of energy. If you ride this to work expect to sweat a lot more. Also it will not be able to keep up with regular bikes on the road.

Thanks OP, but looks like it's gone from Whitby North.

Will CT price match with other store locations or is it local to that store like HD does?

What body height this bike will fit to, why is it so big? Is the frame as bigger as well?

It doesn't have 29ft wheels guys, that would be impossible. Clearly it is a 29ft long tandem bike, my guess is a 12-15 seater.

probably this will be an OK bike, but i hate grip shifters!

Frame sizes are hit & miss at big box store, most likely this would be considered a "Large" frame but I could be wrong. You really have to get on the bike to see how it fits. As for 29" tires, that's the new way of mtb as they're easier to ride on rough trails and have a faster top speed, but they are harder to accelerate, aren't as maneuverable on tight turns and obvi more weight. At this price point, it's better to stay with a hard tail (less moving parts) and you really won't see the benefits of dual susp as much as you'll struggle to keep up with other bikers due to losing your pedaling force being absorbed by shocks.

The wheels are 29" not the frame. Frame is 19".

I picked up this bike last week at my local CT. It's definitely a larger bike compared to the $129 rigid 26" bike we also got a couple of months ago. It almost looks funny when you put them next to each other on how taller the other one is.

I'm 5'8" and this 29" bike with 19" frame has me on my tippy toes when sitting on the seat with the lowest setting. My son who's a couple of inches taller should be fine on it.

never heard someone talk to positively on a supercycle in my life

u sure you don't work for them?

8 years..... you do know this design did not come out 8 years ago right ............

My kid's 20" Supercycle is something that I (and he for sure) wish I didn't buy. Heavy, cheap and like someone else said, great for the junk value. Would never buy this stuff again.

Yeah I'm a bit skeptical on those comments too.

Going up steep hills effortlessly and getting a good workout/lose a lot of energy kind of contradict each other.
