The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.

4 reasons not to buy
- The Vertex isn’t suitable for “dedicated mountain bikers” and is best kept to “mellower trails.”
- Experts feel the Tektro hydraulic disc brakes lack stopping power for proper off-road use.
- Testers note that riders at the extremes of the Magnum’s listed height range (5’5” to 6’2”) may not fit.
- Experts say the bike lacks “adjustability,” with just 8.5 inches of seatpost adjustment and a fixed handlebar height and reach.
Bottom line
The Magnum Vertex is a “versatile” e-bike equally suitable for commuting and light off-roading. Reviewers enjoy the “striking visual design,” ride comfort, hill-climbing ability, and “responsive” power that feels like riding a non-electric bike. However, limited adjustability may deter riders at the extremes of the stated height range. Overall, reviewers appreciate the component quality at this price. They feel the bike’s versatility is both its strength and weakness, as it’s “capable across most types of terrain” but lacks the performance for proper mountain bike trails.Expert Reviews
