Tommaso Gran Sasso 29er Mounain Bike Hydraulic Disc Hardtail Best Looking MTB

I bought this bike 5 years ago and she's still in great shape! I'm a large guy, 6'4, 230lbs, and I ride the rough trails of the Wasatch here in Utah. Steep, rocky terrain. I'm amazed at what this bike has put up with over the years. It is a bit heavy, but with that comes long-term durability and strength.Like any and all bikes, I've had to do my fair share of maintenance on it over the years, but none of the primary components that came with the bike have failed. Same derailers, same shifters, same discs.I had my reservations when I bought a bike from China, but US mountain bike prices are outrageous. Who wants to drop several thousand on a good bike? My original purchase price was $450, so the price has gone up, just like everything else in the world.Thousands of pounding miles later, she's still a champ. If you're looking for a large, quality hardtail mountain bike that's affordable and will last a long time, give this one a shot.The tires that come stock aren't the greatest for mountain biking, I'd recommend upgrading to a quality tire if you're into tough and rocky trails. I also replaced the pedals with Chester pedals, and the seat with a more comfortable and squishier seat (never understood thin narrow hard seats). Also fits paniers and saddle bags quite well due to its large size.

Nice bike but mine had few issues. Wheels shakes and wobble. My crank arm was damaged and kept falling off. Asking seller to give me to cover a new crank arm. Did not get that resolved. Planned on returning to find out seller wants 20% restock fee plus I have to pay to ship back. Was cheaper to fix the bike and keep it. I would recommend this bike but find a different seller

It has been a long time since I graduated from HS and had a new bike. Been milking mine along for 20+ years. So, things have changed in the bike world and I am still learning to like the differences. The bike was easy enough to assemble, and rides nicely. I was very surprised how big the frame was. I am 5’9” and went with a medium and I wish I would have seen it in a shop first, I may have gone with a small. So if you are between sizes, as I am, you may pause and do some comparison shopping with other bikes and see how the frame size compares .

I'm not a real big review writer, but I felt the need to write this review for the bigger folks out there who are trying to decide if this bike is good for them.To start, I'm like alot of people, who hasn't ridden a bike in years, but wants to start getting out there to get some form of exercise. I have very bad knees and walking for miles, tears up my joints, so I wanted something with less impact on my body.I also knew that I didn't want some box store run of the mill bike that wouldn't last (again I'm a big guy) but also knew, I didn't need a $3000 carbon bike, with full suspension either. So that brought me to Amazon.I live in the middle of nowhere, and don't have any bike shop close to try bikes and have one tuned and all that, so I had to kinda wing it. Trying to find a bike in extra large, for a guy who is 6'4", and weighs right at 270 lbs, proved to be a bit of a headache. I got caught up in all the specs, and being right on the cusp of the weight limit of so many bikes, had me hesitant to say the least. Logic then kicked in, and I started looking at what I'm really after in a bike. The answer is, to be able to get out with minimal impact on my knees, so both me and my dogs can get exercise. I'm not jumping, downhilling, or even trail riding. I'm literally riding around town on gravel roads.So that made me realize, alot of the cautions, and prerequisite's didn't really pertain to me. I would maybe worry about the weight limit, if you are going to launch this thing down mountain sides or try to jump huge jumps, or anything like that. If you are not, this bike will be perfect! It very well may do all that stuff as well, I don't know. I just know what it will do as I've experienced.If these bikes are supposed to be tuned, by a professional, they must do a pretty dang good job at the factory, because I literally assembled it, rode it and have had zero issues.All you have to do, is install the front wheel, handlebars, seat tube, and in my case, a new seat. The original seat is not good for a big person. I got one of those plush gel seats off Amazon, and man it made a HUGE difference.This bike rolls great! I've never ridden a bike that is so smooth! I got on and peddled a couple rotations and could not believe the ease at which this thing got going. I was in second gear up front and 3rd out back. The range of gears this thing has is absolutely amazing! 24 in total! Thankfully the brakes are equally as impressive, because I was a bit jerky at slow speeds and turning at first, since I'm not used to the large 29 inch tires. The larger tires really do make this bike ride over rocks and dips and bumps with ease. I've also never ridden a bike with a front shock before, so that was pretty impressive as well!I know this review wasn't a whole lot about the bike, but instead about the type of person I am, and riding style I will be using it for, to maybe help alleviate any concerns another big person may have, if they are looking at this bike. I've ridden about 25 miles already, in 2 days, just trying to get a feel for this bike and could not be happier! I have ZERO regrets purchasing this bike and if I ever need or want another bike, I'll probably look at this company again.

I was not informed when I made the purchase that I do not have any warranty because I did not pay the 125.00 to have the bike assembled by an authorized bike shop. I would not have purchased the bike If I had been informed of that before purchase.

I really, really like this bike. It is solid and strong, just what my 225lbs are demanding, yet I can ride it easily and it performs smoothly. The gears work well and easily and coming down that path at speed requires some more-than-leisurely braking, and these brakes do the job. It’s a great value for the price. I wanted a bike that would support my riding style (not to mention that extra gravitational pull) and with the Gran Sasso I found it. A gran sassy beast!

Not the best experience.
