They are official measurements

Picked this one up few days ago. Haven't had a mountain bike, or any bike in 15 years. What a thrill - rides like a dream. At 62 years of age, it's so great for my overall physical and mental health, while having a blast. Not even knowing if 29" was a good choice... bought it anyway. Overwhelming how fast this bike can go. If you are good to your body - your body will be good to you. 🚴🚴‍♀️

Walmart bikes are stepping up the entry level game. Hopefully some of the big bike brands are taking note.

​@@tarstarkuszThe first thing I did after I bought it was take it to my local bike shop for a safety/assembly check, so I wasn't able to check if there was any assembly issues. As for upgrades, I'm not sure. I haven't had any issues with the drive-train, deurailer or crankset, so I think I'm going to leave those for now. To be fair, I haven't taken the bike on any difficult trails yet, so I can't comment on how they'll hold up on that. I'm going to be doing some minor things. I might look at 180mm rotors (although the 160mm on there work fine for now), maybe look into tubeless options and replace the seat (as it's not the greatest).

@@linkboy321 Yeah, it all adds up. But at least you can spare a bit on the lock. Big box bikes are generally only stolen opportunistically. They really don't have much aftermarket value. I might try putting on some K Mart logos or Huffy logos. There are videos on youtube that are so depressing. There's one of a guy stealing his own bike right in front of a cop. He's got these giant bolt cutters and is being very obvious about the theft with a camera surreptitiously filming the whole thing. There are also videos showing dozens of various locks being defeated in like 30 seconds or less with basic tools. There is virtually no correlation between the price of the lock and the amount of time needed to defeat it. Now with cheap easy to use powerful battery powered portable grinders everywhere, very few locks stand any chance of stopping a determined professional bike thief. Stealing a car or bike should be on par with stealing a horse in the 19th century, a capital offense!

Just got this for my son as a birthday present (thanks to this video!) and he took it on its maiden voyage. He was back after 15 minutes saying how awesome it was (it was after 10pm) and he couldn't wait to get up tomorrow to ride it again. So happy we found this video and picked the right bike for our son. Thank you!

I’ve noticed most of the sizes frame options are MD or LG only. I would love to see the marketing research that seems to keep it that way. I suspect someone has done the math and determined SM and XL wouldn’t justify adding those. I could be wrong, but that’s what I suspect. I would love to see an option with 27.5 wheels for SM and an XL frame for taller riders 👍🏻

​@@KevCentralI bought a 2020 boundary based on your videos. I loved it but it was always a little small for me. I've been waiting for an affordable xl option ever since

I was just mentioning on Berm Peak express that you deserve credit Kev for big box bikes being as good as they are. Little did I know how right I was!!

Just an FYI, if this helps anyone, the Ridge is only offered in medium and large. I am 5'11" and I originally bought the large because I was in between the two sizes. The large is HUGE; it is as big if not bigger than most companies XL bikes. The only large bikes that are similar in size large are the Rocky Mountain Fusion series, Marlin Gen 3 series, and Kona Lava Dome. Part of the issue with the large frame is the stack...it is 662mm!! I have ridden the Fusion, Marlin Gen 3, and Lava Dome and they didn't feel as big. Long story short, I went with the medium and I think that was a good choice. The Ridge medium is almost identical in size to the Trek Marlin Gen 2 series large or the Gen 3 series M/L (which is my recommended size). The geometry is sooooo close to the Marlin Gen 3, if you like that feel. So, I feel like I got Marlin 6 Gen 2 for half the price or Gen 3 for $500 less, and ready for upgrades! If I put that extra $400-$500 into this bike, it will dominate similar priced bikes spec-wise. I hope this helps!

I've always said the Taiwanese frames are the best ones made in Asia, so I'm happy to see this one being made there.

It's surprisingly pretty decent. I'm impressed. People forget that not everyone has money for a $5k bike, or isn't yet ready to spend more than a few hundred till they are really dedicated.

I bought this exact model to see if mountain biking is for me. I'm 6'2"/220 and the large version of the bike(with 29" wheels) was the right size for me. Very impressed with the quality of parts that were included with this entry level bike, and it rides very smooth. The only things I added was an after-market kickstand and pouch for phone/wallet, keys, etc. Good job guys!

I love your show...I bought the Genesis 29 in. a couple weeks ago for 248 dollars, the big difference is they switched out the tires and rims for the kind of rubber and thin ness is so bad.

Amazing job from the house brand at Walmart. OT is making amazing products, great work.

Great video! This version, or the Vibe, is on my list to get next year for my all-around ride. It'll be the third bike, but I want to use it for flat and cruiser paths.

Thanks a bunch for this vid. Really surprised to find that hidden gem in the ozark line. Stopped out to local Walmart and you were spot on about quality and feel. Walked out with one. It had better componentry than the more expensive models beside it. The 27.5 OT model felt and looked cheap in comparison. People are paying 1000-1200 for SE big bikes….but this 29 wheelies just fine. Hashtag WalmartBikeLife!

Super impressed. If you like to tinker with bikes get this bike! I have a Motobecane that was also made in Taiwan. The Ozark Trail is half the cost of my bike (3years ago) and is pretty much the same frame and geometry even the provision for the internal route for a front derailleur. The difference is mine has a SRAM SX 12x groupset, dropper post and a little nicer wheelset and 2.5in tires. Mine does not have a tapered head tube and they both have the exact same forks. Basically the money saved on the Ozark Trail is in the groupset. Well worth the money to buy this ride it and then upgrade.

I bought this bike yesterday and it's very well made. I bought some Snafu pedals to put on it and will be building a "FrankenBike" with it in the next few months. Looking forward to upgrading it and seeing how it performs.

Excellent video and a modder's delight !!!

Great video review... I'm only 5'5... so the OT Vibe was the right choice for me... pretty happy with it after a few short rides at Greer Ranch... but an upgrade to metal pedals are a MUST.

Great review. I almost popped for this bike after a thief kyped my grandsons schwinn AUXx 27.5 wally world which we had just rebuilt the bottom bracket, mounted new pedals, serviced the hubs and adjusted the derailleurs. How convenient for the thief. Anyways decided to go with Norco Indie I street fighter since grandson rides 99% on street or hard pack. I know the Ozark sells for $399.00 + tax while the Norco Indie sells on sale for $699.00 + tax. It's like apples compared to oranges no sense in detailing. Just Wanted to buy something that didn't need greasing...or possible adjustment or have damage from untrained assemblers. The Ozark looks to be a great opportunity for someone to have a decent intro bike with potential. Or for an ol'geezer who wants to tinker. Enjoy your reviews 👍

Seth from @Berm Peak Express did a video on this bike, where he added upgrades & even he was surprised how good the bike is. This is a good entry level bike for the price. It's upgradable & not that heavy.

Just picked up one that was returned to $110! A few scuffs and the dork disc broken from the chain slipping off the last gear. Excited to tinker with it and get to riding.

I work the Bike/and Lawn&Garden areas at Walmart. Our store has some Vibes, But I wish afford a Ridge someday. Never Seen one in Person yest. Our bike builder sucks, so im always having to do the Fine Tuning.. Not Complaining! I Love it!!

Budget minded riders should be aware that yhe rear wheel is only a 28-spoke. They are prone to bend out of shape much quicker than a 32 or 36. It would be wise to have a spoke nipple tool to adjust spoke tension regularly. Thanks for another great video sir.

These specs are almost the exact same as the Kent Trouvaille lol. They've actually updated the Trouvaille. There's a medium (16") and large (18") frame. Just got a large and now it's got internal routing options for a front derailleur or dropper post. They also used a 34.9mm seat tube so there's no need to ream it out for a dropper post anymore. It's got a 180mm front rotor and 160 back. Microshift Advent drivetrain, wider tires, and the same SR Suntour fork. Also has mounting locations for a rear rack, but only one set of screws for a bottle holder.

A note to all bike manufacturers stainless steel spokes with brass nipples should be mandatory at any price point to stop corrosion and allow for upgrades without wheel rebuilding being needed. People don't mind spending a little bit extra if they don't have to get the wheels rebuilt which is extremely expensive and is something they normally can't do themselves. Very nice frame 😎🇦🇺👍

Recently purchased a few bikes from REI on their Labor Day sale. A couple co op drt 1.1s and a drt 1.3. Having not ridden one of these, the drt 1.1 with a sale price of $479 might be a better overall value with 27.5 tires, 3x7 gearing and hydraulic brakes. ( normally $599) But this does have 29” tires and a lower entry price 🤔 It’s definitely not up to par with the components on the drt 1.3 , but it is a bike with 29” tires on a budget 🤷‍♂️ I hate these springy forks. I replaced the springy fork on one of my drt 1.1 with a rockshox Judy fork similar to the fork that came with the drt 1.3 . I did replace the uncomfortable seats with $30 fat butt gel seats from Wally World. Other than the fork upgrades on the drt 1.1 and the seats on all 3 bikes, I don’t think I’ll be upgrading anything else unless I break or wear something out. It’s nice to find somewhat affordable bikes to basically enjoy riding instead of just drooling over $5k -$10k entry fees and being stuck at home. While I’m happy with my drt 1.1, 1.3 and my mongoose malus, I’m considering adding one of these to the fleet as a grab and go bike. An affordable way to bring a bike less buddy along.
