New Rider Having Fun

I first want to say I purchased this bike on March 14/2020 and I have put a lot of miles on the bike so far. I am a semi short guy at 5ft 8 and I am hefty at 233lbs. I want to add that info because I have had NO issues with this bike at that weight. My girlfriend and I ride as much as we can and so far I am loving it. So far I would say if you are new to mountain bike riding on trails and also do a good bit of road/sidewalk riding this bike works well. We ride to our local park and then ride some of the trails. I will be honest the trails would be considered very easy but I do enjoy it a lot. Buying this bike has inspired me to make trails on our property. I've also started a lot of research on mountain bikes and I feel this is a good starter bike that you can learn to ride on and learn to perform your own maintenance. My next bike will be a full suspension bike but I will always use this bike for going to the store and rides to the park.

Below-entry-level; not a good value.

While my review is of the DRT 1.0, the only difference with the DRT 1.1 is the frame size (XXS) and tire size (26x2.1). Everything else is exactly the same between the two models, and therefore the problems will be the same. The worst thing is, these problems do not exist on other reputable bike lines around this price point. The biggest problem with this bike is the external cable routing. It really is a cheesy setup that is held on by zip-ties as mentioned by another reviewer. This means that you cannot carry this bike on the most common bike carriers which support the bike under the top tube. If you do so, you will risk damaging the cables and/or the zip ties. Even at this price point ($600 as of April 2022), you can easily find internal-cable mountain bikes that don't have this issue. The second major issue here is the 3x drivetrain. The Shimano Tourney is the lowest level drivetrain they make. There is a reason bike mechanics are really familiar with Tourney adjustments and repairs... that's because they get a lot of practice on them! I would consider Shimano Altus/Acera as the bare minimum for entry-level quality. Aside from the quality of the drivetrain, the 3x drivetrain is a really obsolete setup that is much too complicated for a young or less-experienced rider. My daughter usually only used the middle and smallest chainring. The largest chainring was never used, even when she probably should have used it to go keep up on the fast segments. Again, if you are looking for a usable entry-level mountain bike, look for a 2x drivetrain (1x is even better, but gets pricier). This bike is also very heavy for its size. On the plus side, this bike does have hydraulic disc brakes, which should be the minimum standard for mountain bikes, regardless of level. It also has a 100mm travel fork in all sizes. So how do you find a bike to address the shortcomings of the DRT 1.1? Well, there is the Co-op DRT 1.2, but that makes a huge jump to a $1000 price point. REI should really find a middle ground between $600 and $1000, but unfortunately you have to look elsewhere. I won't mention the brand, but the absolute minimum MTB I would ever consider has a 2x Shimano Altus drivetrain and internal cable routing for $720. You can get a 1x Shimano Deore model for about $850. These two component packages are as good as--or better than--even the DRT 1.2, but the 1.2 does have a better fork than those less expensive alternatives. I also prefer the DRT 1.2 tubeless-ready presta rims vs the non-tubeless schrader rims on the alternatives. This same brand has a $620 model with internal cable routing, but it has a 3x Tourney drivetain and mechanical disc brakes which are marginally better than the old-style rim brakes, and I would NOT recommend it. The bottom line here is that bikes always involve cost-quality compromises and trade-offs. In 2022 with inflation, $600 is actually below entry-level. An acceptable entry level floor is more likely $700-750. REI has a very competitive bike in the DRT 1.2 for $1000, but they really need to look at the market between the 1.1 and the 1.2 (and raise the bar on the 1.1) because I think they are missing out. A last word on wheel sizing. My daughter is 4'7" but with relatively long legs for her height. She was riding a 20" bike last summer but went through a growth spurt to get to her current height. She was actually too big for our 24" hand-me-down MTB. I initially thought a 26" would be right for her, but even the DRT 1.0 (discontinued) was a bit on the small side. We ended up getting her a 27.5" wheel size in roughly the equivalent of the DRT 1.2 XS frame size and it is perfect for her, with plenty of room to grow. So don't be afraid to make the jump from a 24" wheel size to a 27.5". Be careful with the "room to grow" adage, however. Don't get a bike that is too big (and hers is not) and expect your kid to grow into it. They have to feel comfortable on it and have the proper standover clearance TODAY. All the "room to grow" means is that you should probably choose the bigger frame size if your kid is right at the edge of two different sizes.

Great little bike

5 years ago

Bought this for my wife for mothers day. So far she has logged about 215 miles on it and is loving the bike. Is it top end? Nope but is it worth what ya pay? So far I would be inclined to say yes. No issues with gears as some mentioned. Only really place I see a glaring “they cut a corner” is the cables are attached to the bike with zip ties. It serves the purpose but it just comes off cheap and tacky. Also its just an oversight by REI in design but the bottle bracket mount doesnt fit a normal size sports bottle. Was mixed on buying this based off the reviews but overall very happy with it minus the couple minir details mentioned.

Great purchase!

5 years ago

I was looking for a bike for myself and my son since his birthday is coming up. I was looking for best value in the $500 range so I decided to purchase one and see if I like it. I ordered the grey one first and when I got it I immediately liked it. It comes in a big box almost fully assembled. You can tell they took care in putting it together before shipping it everything was tight and aligned perfectly. The bike is quality very solid and the paint is high quality. I went ahead and ordered the black one for my son too. They even sent me a free park tools multitool that was very nice. Overall I would definitely recommend this bike to anyone looking for a good bike in the $500 range. Thank you REI I am very happy with my purchase!

Great bike for beginner or returning rider

2 years ago

I bought this bike during the last bike sale. At the price point nothing else could touch it. Great neighborhood bike and very capable on the trails. Shifting is smooth, and the suspension fork is actually pretty decent. The brakes work really well. This is not a bike for hardcore riders, but if you are just starting out or a returning rider you really can’t beat it.

Good, solid bike. Not so good tires

5 years ago

I bought this bike with a large frame for our son, who is 5'-5". It was shipped quickly to the store and it took about 10 days to complete the assembly due to the high demand for bikes this summer. He has not problem riding it on dirt trails or on the sidewalk. Parts are good quality. Ride is smooth. My only issue with it is that I feel the Kenda tire tubes that it comes with are cheap and not good quality. They cannot handle trail riding. If you ride on the sidewalk or street, it is ok. In one week of riding on trails, he blew the back tire tube after a small jump and yesterday he blew the front tube. My sense is that they are not heavy duty enough. I have never had that problem with any other of our mountain bikes, including some that are much cheaper and are used on the same surfaces.

Very capable!

3 years ago

It’s been a few decades since I’ve ridden a mountain bike and this one is a serious upgrade to anything I rode in the past. It’s light weight and when off road it feels like it was purposefully designed to handle anything your capable of. I like the wide tires, and disc brakes, that don’t lock up (unless you want them to). The forks are sturdy, but not front heavy, and soaked up small downed trees and roots on a small deer I went down. The tires are Kenda and seemed good for trail biking. Overall I’m happy with the price as it was $100 off. It’s worth the reg price, but it was nice having extra $ for a helmet, bike lock, and repair kit. I would not want this as a daily commuter for long paved rides. It’s not bad for a few miles but the tires will wear fast and create a lot of resistance on pavement. Off-road I give a 5/5. On road I give a 2/5.

Best Bike I have owned :

4 years ago

I was tired of used bikes and inconvenience of transporting them to where I wanted to ride. When the urge hits you want the best most functional sound ride to give you the thrill you seek. After I test drove it I knew it was perfect for me. At 5’4” with long legs it felt comfortable and so fun to ride. A gorgeous, solidly engineered bike with a front wheel that easily comes off, and hydraulic brakes, sold me. The customer Support and service at Rei is outstanding . They are brilliant ,Helpful and human. I am a loyal customer for life. I ride several times a week and feel safe and solid on dirt, paved roads. You will love love this bike.

Middle Aged Guy Buys His First Bike in 25 Years

2 years ago

I wanted to expand my activities beyond trail hikes and strength training at age 51 in a way that was low impact, so I picked out this bike from REI for a lot of reasons. It has hydraulic brakes, which is unusual for a bike at this price point. The shifters are a style I really like. I’m new to trail and mountain biking so I need to take it slow and build my endurance and confidence. This bike looks to fit my abilities perfectly.
