Review: Motobecane Outcast 29er Mountain Bike
Saturday October 11, 2008
The Motobecane Outcast is an intriguing bike. It's a single-speed mountain bike with 29-inch wheels and a flip-flop hub to allow you to run as a fixed gear if that's your thing. And at a low price right around $400 including shipping, you won't be able to get into this type of bike any cheaper. But are there any liabilities that come with that low price point? Find out by reading our whole review.

Purchased it, lowered the gearing to 33t front 22t rear. Spins out on the pavement, but crawls up steep hills/trails with ease and very comfortable. Up grades, wider carbonfiber handlebars and crank bros pedals. Absolutely favorite bike. I’ll never go back to 26er’s again. Articles about the bike have been mostly positive and I would agree. Similar bikes Haro Mary SS and Redline monocog. More expensive, but Motobecane Outcast is still a bargain in my opinion.
