Today we received a new mountain bicycle and we decided to make a quick video tour and share first impressions with the Sprint Wood 2 Mountain.

This is actually one of the cheapest bikes to buy brand new in 2020 that has front and rear Shimano Deore derailleurs.

Here are couple more images of the unobxing process:

As you can see it is a pretty good package that this mountain bike offers. Probably the only thing I wish it had is a double-butted lightweight aluminium frame.

And here is a quick video tour of the Shimano Deore bike - Wood 2 Mountain unboxing:

And just to remind you, this bike is very similar to the Sprint Apolon Pro 26 mountain bike that we reviewed sometime ago, even though some of the components are different (including the 27.5 frame vs 26 in the Apolon) and the Wood 2 is bit more expensive.

Price

We bought this Shimano Deore bike for $500 (April 2020).


Thanks for stopping by and checking our first consumer Sprint Wood 2 Mountain bike review. Stay tuned for our long term feedback after couple of months riding it.
