I've been pretty happy with my Walmart Ozark G1 Explorer. For reference, the Walton kids are big bike enthusiasts and have funded a lot of trails in Arkansas. Walmart used its purchasing power to build a good bike at a decent price. In the past, the options were spent a couple hundred bucks on a crappy gravel bike or $1,000+ on an entry-level Specialized, but now for about $250 you can get something decently built and with Shimano components. Mission accomplished.

I got the drop bar version because I like drop bars but the straight bar version is more common. I live in the Seattle area and have used it almost entirely so far on roads and paved bike trails, although I do plan on doing some gravel rides. The roads here can be kind of crappy with cracks so the 50 mm tires have been much nicer than the skinny road bike tires. However they are not so wide that they inhibit too terribly once on the bike trails. This past weekend, when I was cruising I was going between about 15 to 16 mph.

I've used it on about a half dozen rides, with the most recent ones being between 30 and 45 mi. Probably like any bike, it does require a bit of know-how and problem solving on YouTube and AI. It was functional right out of the box with minimal assembly needed but gear shifting and whatnot is eventually going to require some tweaking but it's not hard to do.

I recommend it. I also added on the Allstate warranty through Walmart. Also, I'd avoid a front suspension bike for fitness if you don't need it. It's going to be less efficient and something else that is going to go bad. And if you really need a front suspension bike, I'm not sure this is the one I would go with.

Looks like the Ozark is not available anymore on the walmart website. :/

They still sell it but it's a pain to find. There's a separate page for each size. When you search on their website, put a period (.) in between the G.1

Here's the link to the medium for the drop bar version that I have - https://www.walmart.com/ip/168285...91200ec19e

Here's a link to the medium for the flat bar version that most people buy -

https://www.walmart.com/ip/582268...57e9399612

It looks like there isn't online inventory but I checked stores in two different cities in they both have it.

Also worth noting than when I bought mine last summer/fall, I had to wait for it to come back in stock online. So I wouldn't say that they are discontinuing stocking it online - it might just be out of stock in their warehouses given summer is around the corner, but locally it seems to be available at least at certain Walmarts.

FYI that they did make some changes to the bike last year. Unfortunately the skus were the same but there are videos online that talk about the changes. You want the newer version because it uses better components and they upgraded to the 50 mm tires from 45 mm from my recollection. I would look on YouTube and online to see what the changes are just to make sure you get a new one. At this point, I would imagine all the inventory is new because the changeover happened last summer/fall.

Thanks for the reply and info. I found one on ebay for $199 but the seller seems sketchy so I'd rather go through the mart.

No worries and I agree with you that I would prefer to buy it from Walmart, unless you can find a really good deal on one on Facebook Marketplace. Also if you purchase from Walmart, the extended Allstate warranty is not that expensive for a bit more piece of mind.

The only Shimano component on that bike is the rear derailleur.

I don't know where to begin with you 🤣....ok, let me give it a shot...... It looks like the person wrote the difference of $58 between the bike at Walmart and the Nishiki bike. Does that make sense to you?🤣🤣
Doh my fault! Thank you. Embarrassment

The flat bar version actually also has a standard Shimano HG (HyperGlide) freehub body rather than a cheap freewheel, so there might be two Shimano components on that one.

There are some other things that have it punching above its weight class. It has an L-TWOO front derailleur on the drop bar version which is a notable upgrade over the posted bike (the flat bar version doesn't have a front derailleur since it is a single chainring setup). It also has a nice 6061 aluminum frame, internal cable routing (rare on a bike of this price point), brifter (dual brake/shifter) levers, lots of mount points including on the fork, Kenda tires, and mechanical disc brakes. And fortunately, it doesn't have the unnecessary front suspension that the posted bike has. I am not an expert and perhaps there's something better at the price point, but I think Walmart did a really good job.
