Kent International 26" Women's NEXT La Jolla Cruiser Bike

This 26" Women's NEXT La Jolla Cruiser Bike is styled in a classic design, with an extra-low dropped top tube for maximum comfort. Its full aluminum frame reduces the weight to an incredible 28.5 lbs., and makes the 26" NEXT women's bike easy to handle. The single speed and coaster brakes provide simple and safe riding. Lightweight alloy rims and an alloy crank help keep the weight down.

Review 1 for 26" Women's NEXT La Jolla Cruiser Bike

Meets expectations

The price was right and I just needed a bike to get to the store/library/gym/etc. It does that just fine. Biggest concern was the single gear. I'm happy that I can take almost any hill without getting off to walk up. The loss is at a certain speed (like going downhill) the pedals just spin. That I can live with.

Review 2 for 26" Women's NEXT La Jolla Cruiser Bike

Great Simple Bike

I was looking for a simple, comfortable bike to ride with my 5 year old. He doesn't go fast so I don't need all the gears and such.
I sat on the Cranbrook bike that was the same but priced $25 cheaper and I didn't like it. The haldbars would've hit my knees when turning. I'm glad I spent the extra money.
This is a good looking bike with a very comfortable seat that gets us going. It makes me look forward to bike rides. I'll be getting a basket so we get even more use out of it.

I bought this cycle as a floor model (already assembled) last Fall and within 6 months it has started to fall apart. The chain makes a hideous noise and the seat literally fell apart... too many plastic parts.

As a 69 year old man, I find it taxing to throw my leg over the bar on a mens bike. The bike I just bought was a woman's model that make it much easier to get on and off. It is light and easy to handle. I love it. We are supposed to enjoy riding so what's wrong with a man riding a woman's bike?

This is a great bicycle. Very light weight for a sub $100 bike. Build is great on the frame, so/so on the body pieces (splash guards). The seat is very comfy and it rides well.

I love this bike. It arrived in excellent condition. I was looking for something simple to operate - I love not having to use a hand brake, and no hand shift - just one easy to use gear.

A Great Bike

I bought this bike for myself about 1 year ago. I waited to post a review until I was sure on this Bike. It is a really great bike! My only issues in the year that I have had my bike is the seat will sometimes "readjust" on it's on and I have to turn it back straight and the fenders sometimes rub against the tires. Both of these issues are easy fixes. It is a simple bike, no gears and has pedal brakes, it was just what I wanted. I keep my bike in the garage, never outdoors, so it has not been exposed to the weather, it still looks brand new! This is a perfect bike for someone who wants a simple, easy to use, no hassle, enjoyable bike ride. I ride my bike at least 3 times a week.

Review 9 for 26" Women's NEXT La Jolla Cruiser Bike

shipping damage

I would have given five stars in every catagory, but the bicycle was damaged in shipping and some parts were missing. I just put the bicycles together today and I was disappointed with this one. The other bike was fine. It has some deep scratches and gouges on the frame down near the pedals. Also
two nuts, two washers and one bolt were missing.(probably as a result of the rough handling. There were some holes in the box.) I found some spare parts in my workshop and I have it completely assembled. It rides fine but my wife is not too happy with the damage. Thanks, Ray Dellinger

Review 10 for 26" Women's NEXT La Jolla Cruiser Bike

Brakes could be tighter

I purchased this bike for my daughter to ride around with her children. She thinks it is a beautiful bike but says the brakes don't stop the bike fast enough. She is returning the bike to try and get the same model with better brakes. Other than that she liked the bike, said her husband put it together very quickly and put a child carrier on the back easily. She'd like it just fine if the brakes were better.

INEXPENSIVE BIKE

This bike was all I expected. Beautiful paint job: the blue color swirls between blue and turquoise and it has a wonderfully WIDE seat. Being aluminum, the lightness is a bit disconcerting if you are used to a regular bike's weight. But, I'm hoping that I just get used to it. It makes me a little fearful when turning. The brakes however are absolutely great. They are steady and quick to stop without making you go over. I really like this bike and expect to use it a lot with my husband.

Review 16 for 26" Women's NEXT La Jolla Cruiser Bike

Great Bike - make sure it is assembled properly

Bought a women's and a men's version of this bike. Put 42 miles on them in 4 days in a beachside area. The women's bike was perfect - no problems with anything. The men's bike was great until one of hte pedals worked its way loose, stripping the thread, after 38 miles (had to bike 4 miles with just one pedal to get back home). The moral of the story - great bike, but go over it and make sure all bolts, etc. are tight before you use it. Also, don't forget to lubricate the chain. In summary, we had a great experience with the women's bike, and the problem we had with the men's bike was because of poor assembly, not a defect of the bike itself. Plus, they look great.

I've had the bike for 3 months and I have no complaints! Reasonable price, and it's nice that everyone comments on the bike's stylish look. However before purchasing I will advise some buyers to make sure you know that this is a CRUISER bike! It does not have gears, so therfore it is difficult to go up inclines and hills. I just wanted to clarify that, due to some negative reviews I've read. I ride around downtown buffalo and resident parks. You will no be sorry for purchasing this bike!!!

We bought this bike for my 11 year old son and within a week the front tire tube had to be replaced, it split at the seam. Approximately, within another 2 weeks the same happened to the rear tire tube! After my son being without his new bike for longer than he has owned it the chain has fallen off numerous times!!! We are now looking elswhere for a better quality bicycle and will be returing this piece of junk!

Happy with my Choice

Sturdy bike, low clearance between pedals is VERY helpful when lifting foot from one side to another. Handles are in a good position so your wrists are not turned outward as on some cruisers. Fenders could be more stable as they appear to be attached at only one point making then prone to pivot. Chain does sometimes rub against guard, but I can probably adjust that. Very lightweight, and just fun to ride. It really does make you feel like a kid again! I've used it for errands, going to church, visiting nearby family and I look forward to times that I can use it. Put a basket on the front and intend to do grocery and library runs now! Excellent value, too!
