Now, they might be competing for second or even third place in that sphere. Mongoose bikes are only expensive from a certain point of view. In terms of quality versus price, Mongoose use to be considered high value. However, in recent years the quality and reputation have reportedly declined, shifting perceptions of the cost of their bikes into the realm of overpriced.
