- Several owners are disappointed by the bike’s “poor quality,” citing “many” failed components.

- Buyers recommend replacing the stock saddle, pedals, and tires. One feels the tires aren’t suitable for mountain biking.
- The bike’s sizing runs large. A 5’9” owner says the medium frame is too big despite Tommaso’s recommendation of 5’8” to 5’11”.

Bottom line
The Tommaso Gran Sasso is a budget hardtail mountain bike with 29" wheels, a 100mm suspension fork, 3x8-speed gearing, and Shimano hydraulic disc brakes. The easy assembly and ride comfort impress owners, who praise the wide gearing and braking performance. However, they recommend immediately replacing parts like the saddle, tires, and pedals. Quality control issues abound, with owners reporting component failures shortly after assembly. Additionally, it appears warranty issues are not easily resolved with the brand. Despite these issues, owners deem the Gran Sasso good value when it works, but potential buyers should note that it's unsuitable for "true" mountain biking.
