I avoid Walmart as much as I can and bikes are the last thing I'd ever purchase from them.

there fun mess around bikes

A friend from work was looking at a 24" cruiser online and decided to check it out in person. It turned out to be very cheaply made and was far from being a quality bike.

Word!

According to the reviews, some 20" bikes are breaking the same day the're purchased.

the xenia would actually be a pretty decent quality dj'r, and it comes loaded with good parts for the money. I'd actually consider buying one if the frame geometry wasn't royally futtbucked.

ministock101 · 2011-12-03 11:42pm

i mean mess around as in me and like 6 of my friends save our pocket change and buy a walmart bike to jump into lakes and ghost ride them off of cliffs into lakes, etc

FatGuy · 2011-12-03 11:57pm

The Xenia is actually a pretty good low-budget DJ bike.

ministock101 · 2011-12-04 12:00am

i thought the same thing but i dont like the frame geometrey

that's what I'm sayin. it looks good overall, but this isn't 2001 anymore. no one is gonna be riding a freeride mtb with a high toptube like that. and to think they were sooooo close to finally making a really good wally world bike...

ministock101 · 2011-12-04 12:13am

i do not like bikes in general with a high top tube

the Xenia that carbon got from Walmart actually seems to have a lower top tube. so the pic doesn't match up....

Those are not dirt jumpers, just like a toupee is not your hair. They may look the part, but that's all.

In my opinion, I feel the first batch of DK's that went into Wal~Mart were the actual bikes we used to buy from Dan's, etc. However, after these ran out due to high sales, the next wave coming in were cheaper made products in order for DK(Huffy) to meet the low purchase price demanded by Wal~Mart.

As for the Xenia, I had one from D&K and loved it. Nothing broke, but I cannot attest to these newer models where what you see on WM's site is not exactly what you are getting.

muphasta · 2012-05-29 9:02am

Probably some small print on the tag that the bike is not intended for dirt jumping or trick riding. If you were to break it doing something other than riding off a curb, the warranty would be void.

Just a guess.

Nahhh dude, I'm looking at the frame. And it's not my bike either. Like I said, it's Carbon's bike.

I have a 2005 DK Xenia:

Look at the angle of the top tube compared to the angle of the seat stays. Or, look at where the seat post clamp is--is it parallel with the top of the tire, or well below it. To me, the seat tube appears to be about 2 inches shorter. But I've asked Carbon to check....

http://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/dk/54582

the seat tube (and top tube) means it's more like the modern standard dj lineup. on some of those bikes if you slam the seat all the way down it will hit the rear tire.

like the blackmarket mob:

transition trail or park

Sorry about that, my statement was not meant to hurt the feelings of any folliclly challenged Chihuahuas or any other breed for that matter.

I remember when they came out, they had a street bike for 299. It's not there any more.
