KNOW YOUR ROOTS.

A bunch of bikes, two RV’s, cheap hotels, quality (well okay, and some cheap) brew, half-decent food, and the open road – where we come from, this is paradise. Not to mention the basis for countless stories, as any rider who’s been on road trips can attest to.

It’s been a while since we last hit the road, so this year we decided to pack our entire team (minus Chris Akrigg because of injury, you’ll see why in a minute) into two 30-foot RV’s for the Know Your Roots Road Trip. Beginning in the shadow of the Coors Brewery and ending in Southern California back where it all began in '74, our riders represented the ‘Goose at iconic BMX and Mountain destinations – culminating in an all-star celebration in Los Angeles with our pro riders and Mongoose legends from our storied past.

Our Know Your Roots Road Trip showcased Mongoose at its best through the non-stop hustle and commitment of our pro riders – demonstrating (and exceeding) what’s possible on two wheels and validating our product’s performance. Our 2012 line represents our commitment to producing authentic, high-quality bikes that will hold up to the rigors of any trail or street, giving our pros – and aspiring riders across the world – confidence in their ability to perform and push their limits on two wheels.

URBAN

Instead of taking a cramped bus to work, hop on a bike – or instead of flailing around on rollerblades, cruise along the waterfront on two wheels. No matter where you live, getting around town on a bike is the best way to get where you need to go.

Our Urban line lets you do this with style and ease. For 2012, we’ve introduced the brand-new Assphalt series, a versatile and durable commuter bike that makes it easy – and fun – to get from Point A to Point B. Our Maurice and Crossway models all received fresh paintjobs and spec updates to deliver unique styling and outstanding value.
