Adventure begins where the pavements ends, and the Mongoose Guide Sport 700c adventure bike is ready to go wherever the ride may take you. With its relaxed, upright geometry, the Guide Sport offers more comfort whether you’re commuting to work or bikepacking across the country. A few of the key features include:
• 700c adventure geometry and Tectonic® T2 aluminum frame provides increased strength and decreased weight for a more agile ride • Increased chainstay spacing to accommodate a 1.95" tire for increased off-road grip and stability • Relaxed geometry for comfortable all-day rides • 29" wheels with 1.75" tires for fast, controlled riding on the road or off the beaten path • Stash Pack frame bag offers plenty of storage for the necessities of a long ride
This bike begs to be taken down those forgotten roads and trails that you’ve been meaning to ride and experience. Most of all, the Guide Sport is a steady reminder that riding is about having fun and soaking up your surroundings.
There will be new prizes revealed every day in the lead up to Dec 25th so check the Advent Calendar daily on the front page of Pinkbike and make sure you enter for a chance to win.
Winners will be notified via the email associated with their Pinkbike account within 48 hours of their name being drawn.
What do you think the Pinkbike readership is? Its not all teenagers on parent bought rigs. Hung beside my hardcore steal hardtail and carbon ‘enduro’ bike is a carbon road bike and a gravel grinder like this Mongoose that I did adventure touring on earlier this year as well as hack about my village and take on holiday with the family. All of those bikes get good outings, the mtbs more so. Obviously! I will happily win the Mongoose all be it it needs more bottle cage bolts by the look of it.
Pb definitely has a wide range of readership, but the vast majority is mtb content. I don't think anyone would be disappointed adding another bike to their range, just might be less appealing to most than something like a teocali or bootr would be.
Gravel / adventure bikes are so much fun. I love mtb, but i also love how with gravel you can cover bigger distances in a day and explore even more of the area you're in. In contrary to a mtb, ashpalt roads are still nice to ride on a gravel bike when connecting dirt roads and trails. You can enjoy everything on it from asphalt to xc-style single trails.
Depending on your goal, i really recommend it as a N+1
I would ride this to work. It's probably too heavy to replace my Mtb-converted-to-road bike, but the way some people here are acting like they are too good to ride it is exactly why it would be a perfect commuter. Built in theft deterrent.

I got a Santa Cruz Stigmata as my all-purpose road/cross/gravel bike and yeah--take easy singletrack that might be boring on a mountain bike and ride it on a skinny-tire machine. It's insanely fun.
I have a cross bike, and they're loads of fun! I mostly use it for road rides. I usually get a little bored of the pavement after a while and these bad boys let you hit a little single track on your way home!
I'm still waiting for the e mtb give away. That way if I win it I can tell people the only reason I'm riding it is because I got it for free. Win/win. I can hate them and still have one.
I commute on mtb's because I don't feel safe on anything else, pluss other bikes seem to keep breaking.... I'll enter still and sell it to fund repairs on the rest of the bikes if I win.
I will happily win the Mongoose all be it it needs more bottle cage bolts by the look of it.
