Royce Union RMT 21-Speed All-Terrain Mountain Bike, 27.5" Aluminum Frame, Twist Shift

I am 6'3" / 191 cm and weigh in around 265lbs / 120 Kilos. My body shape is relatively long legs , but also a lot of my height comes from my Torso. This made the handlebars too low for me so read on to see how that was addressed. Initial Impressions: Bike came on schedule and it was well packaged. There were no issues with parts missing, flat tires , or any other issues I have read about in the other reviews. The bike comes mostly assembled. My #1 recommendation is search You-Tube for Royce Union Bike assembly. I found the printed manual incomplete and somewhat confusing. The you tube video is about 12 minutes and it was perfect. Once assembled took it for a quick ride. Gear shifting takes a little getting use to, but after a few rides I have gotten use to it. I raised the seat but could not raise the handlebars. The saddle it came with was brutally uncomfortable so I ordered a new one. I also took it to the local bike shop and had a new riser (to raise the handlebars) put in. The break cables were long enough with the extension so I did not have to replace those (had I know this I probably would have done it myself). Now with raised handlebars , new more comfortable saddle it's a joy to ride so far. Other upgrades include kickstand , bell and odometer. So overall an extra $150 or so. For now very satisfied with the purchase along with the upgrades mentioned. I ride mostly roads with some trails. Bike feels solid and I am a big guy. I will update as I get more time on it.

I ride this bike to work and back, and so far it’s given me almost no problem at all. Easy assembly, and a smooth ride. The only issue is that the seat was a bit uncomfortable, so I had to replace the seat with a different one. Otherwise, a very nice bike.

I really like this bike. Lightweight and a smooth ride. I use it on roads, trails, gravel with no problem. Good hybrid bike. I've ridden Specialized, Trek, Cannondales and this bike is at least up to par with the budget lines of those brands. BUT, the seat is the only thing lacking. It is narrow, BARELY padded and uncomfortable. So youll probably want to replace that, which is fine since you can get seats for cheap and installation is easy.

front tire has a bad valve cant hold any air. instructions are the worst thing I've ever seen bike is solid don't get me wrong but the hassle of taking it apart.. putting it back in the box and waiting for an exchange? I would rather just pay someone to fix the tire on my own.. bike is solid and seems like a great bike but one bad part isn't worth the pain the box back up.

Overall it is a great bike. I give the bike 5 stars but I have to give 4 stats because it arrived late. This is not a highend bike so don't expect highend hardware like quick release wheels. With that said the hardware is extremely strong. The frame is heavy duty and much more than I expected for the price. I am 6'4" 300lbs and the frame barely flexed under my weight. The barrings struggle under my extreme weight but when my friend (225lbs) rode the bike there was no squeaking or signs of struggle. The brakes seem good and they were able to stop me in a reasonable distance. I like the tires they are wide and not overly aggressive. I think they will do good on trails and they are great on the road. They produce less drag than expected. The rear end is set up to accept a luggage rack. Gears seem to shift smoothly. If I could change one thing about this bike it would be ride position, but that is difficult to find in stock bike. For the price I am not sure there is a better city/trail bike for an entry level rider on the market. This bike seems to be on par with the Specialized 'Hard Rock' I had stolen. Do not buy the 22" if you have less than a 38" inseam I have a 39 1/2" inseam and I barley fit this frame. In the future if the company makes a hybrid with this frame I will buy one.
