This is a one-off total custom build, assembled here in-house in Wigan with all new parts by our expert mechanic Adam. The Mongoose Legion L60 Bike is a good entry level BMX bike for someone on the slightly taller side. The Mongoose Legion L40 Bike is ready for the beginner to intermediate level BMX rider.
A few posts up there is a link to the new Mongoose bikes that are supposed to be as good as anyone else’s and are not walgoose editions. I did some digging on another site and found that by 1983 Mongoose frames were being built in Taiwan. I feel that bad now with mine being made there too. Raceit, I wanted but did not have a Mongoose in my teenage years. I guess that is why I still WANT that 1980 Supergoose I never had. I am a bit closer by now having my ’96 Mongoose expert pro.
From the original Motomag wheel BMX Products Inc created the Mongoose bicycle and parts brand which becomes a global success during the BMX boom of the 70s and 80s. Mongoose also produced Freestyle bikes, Mountain bikes, Scooters, Kids bikes and an enviable roster of talented team riders over the decades to follow. Today they continue to offer a large range of products and support top tier BMX and mountain bike riders. Only sold in USA, Australia, Germany, Japan & New ZealandInspired by the 1984 Supergoose BMX bike, this iconic ride is perfect for the classic Mongoose connoisseur.
Not that I had many bikes to compare my ’96 to,(only my old huffy pro thunder), but it is so light and quick and really responds quickly to every turn when I ride it. I guess no one knows when they started making them in Taiwan and if mid school bikes are made stronger than old school bikes. I just gathered that they were from the hundreds of posts I have read here.
For example, one of the first moves Magoo made after taking up the role at Mongoose was to hire Dennis McCoy and Tim ‘Fuzzy’ Hall. Building on this positivity and rewarded for his management, Magoo is given more responsibility and ends up designing a number of products, including the ‘Hooligan’ (with Dennis McCoy) which is described by industry as the hottest bike of the year. His new recruits also blossomed into the most sought after bikers on the BMX circuit at the time, with schwinn mountain bicycles ‘Fuzzy’ landing the very first cover of Ride BMX and Dennis McCoy dominating the Bicycle Stunt Series for 4 x years straight.

They’re also significantly easier on your body, particularly when ridden more than occasionally. The SWFT BMX is an e-bike disguised as what the pros use, with a durable low steel frame, an LCD control display, 350W motor with a top speed of 20 mph, and standard 20-inch wheels you’d typically find at the skatepark. You can easily take curbs but don’t expect to do many drinks in this—40 lbs. Is annoying heavy for bunny hops, plus the internal wiring prevents barspins.
