**UPDATE**
So I've had this bike for some time now and it has continued to impress me. So I increased the amount of times I ride it from once a week to twice a week. I have no problem keeping up with my buddies on expert rated downhill courses. They all have different downhill bikes such as my Super V that all have a camma in the price tag. Pads and tires are literally the only thing I've had to replace so far on this bike. The parts are cheap, and I order them right from Mongoose so the bike stays 100% factory. This bike has taken a beating and some pretty hard hits, and I have no damage other than the expected scrapes on the frame and handle bars. My buddies have actually nicknamed the bike "the death wish" lol. They say I must have one for riding a bike the way I do with them that you can get for $250 at your local Walmart. However, with what it's been through so far, I don't see it going anywhere any time soon. I inspect the entire bike before and after going out for the day, and I have not found anything wrong. I have removed all of the front shifting components. I just don't need them and they were just getting in the way. It's not that there was anything wrong with them. Also a couple tips if you do some serious riding with this bike: Check the hubs before and after you go out. Especially the front. They have a tendancy to loosen up. Also you may have to lube the fork every now and then or it will become rigid and stiff. Other than that, I say purchase and enjoy.
For my wife and I which are only going to be riding on trails and state parks Etc I think it's an excellent choice.
As far as the fit goes I am 5'11" and 230 lb. The bike fits me perfectly with the seat moved more towards the bottom. I could see where it has plenty of adjustment for somebody that's two to three inches taller than me and maybe one to two inches shorter than me.
Add: my wife and I went for our first trail ride. 3 miles with absolutely no issues going uphill, downhill, changing gears, braking and absolutely no issues. I am going to have to pick up a pair of gloves to provide some better cushioning for my hands, and the seat could use some extra cushion as well. But that's more preference than anything else.

After all the fixes, my Impasse Dual bike proved to be good bike. Smooth ride downhill, reliable brakes that slows and stops the bike on time even in faster speeds. Although, there is still that problems of changing gears, but 2 or 3 seconds of waiting before it changes gear is not really problem for me. And its weight can be dragging going uphill, but I have a fairly strong legs so its not a problem. This is the best a $290 bike can offer for its performance so I wasn't expecting that much of it.
I have this bike for 2 years now and so far it hasn't really given me problems. Not that bad for a $290 bike.
If you are expecting more from this bike, then better find a more expensive bike where their drive trains, derailleurs, brakes, etc. are high performance because this bike will be a disappointment. But if your looking for a fairly cheap, reliable gears, and sturdy frame of bike then I recommend this bike.
Top reviews from other countries
The bike itself is awesome. The parts on it are what you'd expect. It's not top of the line.
The brakes feel solid and compare well with my Trek bike.
The derailer does feel much cheaper then my Trek but works well.
The seat and seat post I swapped from my Trek. The one it comes with is NOT easy on the butt lol.
I also changed the pedals as the lens it comes with are as you'd expect. Entry lvl.
The front shocks out of the box are so nice. I have Rock Shoxw on my Trek and these for now feel just as good.
The tires are ok. I can tell they will wear fast. Very soft rubber. But that's to be expected.
Rims feel good so far. But eventually probably something I'd change up.
I also added a bike rack as there is no place for a bottle. So for $40 it's a cheap addition I'd recommend if you want to have a place to carry water.
I'd suggest getting a front small fender for it. It does kick up more water being a 29".
Back doesn't need one if you do the bike rack as I did as it acts as one.
Back shock is very soft. And is bouncy. It's good enough for now. But prot something I'll upgrade.
All in all. Take the time to set it up. Took me 45 minutes to set it up. Swap parts and adjust.
If you are not savy with adjusting just take it to your local bike shop and they can do it for usually $50.
Update after a few rides.
The front rim's being painted spokes are the worst idea I have seen on a bike. Literally the guy powder coating them must have been in a bad mood. The spokes constantly creak from the paint. I had to literally take some sandpaper and sand the paint down between the spokes to stop the annoying creaking. Back rim was perfectly fine.
