Cross-country bikes are designed to be lighter and more agile than other mountain bikes in order to handle a mix of climbing and descending over moderately technical terrain. They typically have 80-120 mm of front and/or rear travel.
Lifestyle mountain bikes are a type of hybrid bike, designed to combine the everyday functionality of a road bike and the off-road capabilities of a mountain bike. They are great entry level or "around the town" bikes. For more info: http://mountain-bikes.gearsuite

The components on this bike are solid. Shifters, derailleurs, brakes, and fork are what you would expect on a bike store bike. Where they get you is inferior bearings in the headset, bottom bracket, and hubs. These are designed deficiencies to keep costs down and make you want to upgrade later. Add about $50 for a new headset and BB and see the difference. When you have some cash, replace the wheels and add hydrolic brakes and you've got a nice little bike that will keep up with the $1000 bikes.
Rules of thumb on sizing. For an average rider with the following inseams you should look for a 27.5 MTB in the following frame sizes:
15" - 27" inseam and below
17" - 28-29" inseam
19" - 30-31" inseam
21" - 32-33" inseam
This is your bike inseam which is flat-footed, floor to crotch bone. Longer arms needs a larger bike and vise versa. Longer torso needs a larger bike and vice versa. Men have longer torsos and arms than women in general so women's bikes have shorter top tube/reach length. Women buying a man's bike should choose a size smaller men's bike unless they have longer torsos and/or arms.
Finally, this is a real bike. Do not expect to let it sit and have everything be gravy in 6mo. You need to keep up with maintance (lube, tune, inflate) at least monthly or you'll be in for a nice big bill to repair it. $50 for a set of tires, $25 for a chain, $100 for a drive train, $35 for a tune. This is not a bike to throw away when you get some rust, or if the tires go flat. Keep it and love it. Buy a floor pump and a bottle of lube. Wear your helmet. Wash your bike and put it away clean and freshly lubed.

18" will be too small and 22+ too big.

On April 16th, 2016 Sport Chalet began the process of closing all of our stores and stopped selling merchandise online.
But all stores will still sell?
