YES!! Definitely. This was omitted/outlawed from some races because it is said that it is too fast. I love mine. It is an AWSUM BIKE.

It is better than those, quality is awesome. Only thing is to make sure you are buying the correct size I actually bought one for someone a little taller and it was my faultt for ordering wrong. If AI could get a fair price I would sell it and re buy the same bike that fit better, I love it

I don't know the answer to your question. When I bought this bike I compared it to other bikes in the market at the time and I thought it offered the best quality for the price. The fact that it's made in US by an American Company was icing on the cake.

I enjoy it, rides smooth. And looks great. I customized the handlebars bar tape and Saddles, plenty of different options and ways to customize the bike for yourself. All in all I love the way it rides, I think it's smooth and I would recommend it to anyone

What is a Hybrid bike: Well, almost any definition would be accurate for one person...But the one I use is "a bike that is between or combines the attributes of two or more types of bikes". Typically applied to such as a "commuter bike" which is somewhat a tourer, somewhat a mountain bike and somewhat an urban bike. Thus a commuter "Hybrid" bike has a strong but comfortable frame, aggressive brakes and wide gearing, a comfy saddle, upright or swept back bars, fenders, braze-on mounts, at least one if not two racks, strong lighting, a computer/GPS, etc. Adjust the definition to fit your desires after you get the basic idea. Definition implies that you have to decide. Thus if you have something specific in vision, but just buy something labeled as a Hybrid, you may be rather disappointed. Note that changing a bike you have into the bike you really want can double the total cost, so shop with the details in mind. I often suggest folks make a exhausting list of features desired and then add 4 or 5 columns to the right for you to grade a few bikes with check-marks or numeric scores. Then just correlate and compare. For what it is worth, the Northwoods Springdale is somewhat of a hybrid and a quite nice one at the entry level price point. I bought it for my wife and she liked it. After 3 years of ownership, I haven't found any real shortfalls or need to add much in the way of accessories beyond lights, an extra bottle, a pump, a under seat bag, a folding spare tire, and a small tool kit. Hope that helps.

Its lightweight and sturdy. I've never done a triathlon so I wouldn't know what to look for. It is a great bike for the price. You would have to make some small upgrades, like seat and pedals. Hope this helps

Component average quality. The main problem is the gear ratio. Cannot cycle to higher speed . Gear ratio too low. It's a beach cruiser and not a mountain bike. Not meant to cycle fast. The tyre spoke snap easily. The good part is independent cycling and easy to fold for storage.

I love this bike but 2 things to check- gearing is more for racing on flat ground than hill climbing and also the lenght is longer than most bikes for the height whcih I didnt know until I got it and I have to go for a fitting. Bike arrived as stated and is a great deal even got the free awesome sunglasses. Tri design is not an issue

I bought this bike for my daughter that recently started training for first triathlon. Her friend who does triathlons helped her pick it out. I hope this helps you.

I believe it's steel. They probably call it the deluxe because of the streamers on the handlebars, guards, decals, etc. It's a great bike. I bought it for my 4 year old last Christmas and I was a little unsure about the size; she's big for her age. It's held up great.

I dont recommend it, i rode it for 6 months and the frame literally broke in half, its not real jeep, is a subcontractor, very heavy weight and low quality components. If you are on a budget or low WTP, I would still recommend going to a local bike shop. I spend a couple hundreds on repairs, which in total would have purchased a better quality bike with the possibility of upgrades. This bike cannot be upgraded other than bike cleats. Dont be fooled by the name.

David Brinkmeyer is spot on with his answer. It is a great bike but if you are going to be hauling a load you should step up to higher quality bike with more gears and better brakes.

You could but you won't make good time..... it's a great starter bike for tooddling around, but if you are serious about cycling and especially racing, this bike is heavy and its like cycling thru molassas.....check Diamondback, they have some reasonable affordable bikes with better components I got a performance hybrid with disc brakes for under $500 and love it.... unless of course you can afford a Specialized! :-)

Yes it is. I bought my 8 yr old grandson this bike and my son when he was 15. They both love their bikes.

I don't know how the bike compares to other bikes, but I do know it is a great bike and I was surprised how great it looked in person.I purchased it for my granddaughter last Christmas and she absolutely loved it, so did her mother who wanted it for herself.

For me yes. It has been a great bike and I get a lot of compliments on its looks

Yes, it is a good bike. I bought it for my son who is over 300lbs and he is over 6'tall. It does work for him and he is happy with it.I hope this helps. It seemed to be as pictured.Thanks, Audrey
