CCM Apex Men's Dual Suspension Mountain Bike, 26-in

Barely got a year and a half out of this bike before the bottom bracket exploded. That’s pretty sad for a product at this price point. This review comes from a good sample size as I do about an hour ride a day on a paved city bike path which applies very little resistance as well as on a resistance trainer where I also put a trainer tire on for optimal contact. For a top model that’s pretty weak lifespan! Looking at costly repairs now or another new bike. Not to mention the water bottle mounting location is the silliest thing ever.

Prix trop élevé et qualité supérieure. Je dois m'habituer avec le vélo, car le suspension est particulière.

Poor assembly .Like others had to do some adjusting

I bought this bike summer 2020 and its broken now (fall 2020). The shifter, brakes and chain suck, they squeek and crack and break, the front suspension IS TOTAL GARBAGE, NO CONTROL, KEEPS BOTTOMING OUT, THE BIKE IS ACTUALLY DANGEROUS FOR YOUR SELF AND OTHERS. Wires are to long brake lever are stuck front suspension bottoms out all the time i managed to bend the crappy metal out of what the fork is made the brake disk came bent the brake pad are crap I COULD COMPLAIN FOR A OTHER HOURE BUT I MEED TO GO GET A REAL BIKES

I bought this bike a week ago and it’s had 2 catastrophic malfunctions in those 7 days. First happened on day 6, and was a failure of the tire. The inner inflatable ring popped while going up a less than 10cm high curb, which I’d say is completely unacceptable for a mountain bike. Second happened on day 7, and was a failure of the chain which resulted in several problems. I was preparing to go up a small hill along a paved walkway and peddling hard to build up speed, before even reaching the hill the chain fell off between the plastic bit and the gear wheel as seen in the picture. After putting the chain back on I realized there was a clicking sound that had not been there before, and it could no longer shift up in gears (though downshifting still worked). Canadian Tire just called to tell me they fixed it (Canadian tire employees have been very helpful 5/5 for customer service), but malfunctions of this nature are completely unacceptable out of a mountain bike at this price point, especially considering I haven’t taken it over terrain more complex than you’d find in any local suburb. Save your money, and buy something better.
