This inspiring 29" Mountain bike incorporates a wealth of features to provide a high end experience at an entry level price.
The lightweight 6061 Hydroformed aluminum frame with custom geometry blends an off road capable Mountain Bike with an all day Trail and Pathway inspired hardtail providing a comfortable nimble ride on any terrain.
Up front the Eastern 130mm travel spring coil fork with mechanical lockout feature provides a confident riding position ascending any hill and soaks up the shocks on the way down.
Stopping power is handled by the Radius branded 160mm Front and Rear hydraulic disc brakes with adjustable reach levers.
The newly developed 1x9 X-Gear drivetrain using high end forged and machined parts gives smooth crisp shifts while still being compatible with Shimano and SRAM aftermarket parts. The wide ratio 11.34t rear cassette matched with the 32t ring up front gives a ratio similar to 21 and 27speed systems but without the added weight and complication of additional shifters and cables. Smooth internal cable routing keeps everything shielded from the elements.
Outfitted with a high quality wheel package, the fast rolling 29" wheels feature Quick Release hubs and Double Wall alloy rims. Matched with 2.2" all terrain tires as standard inspires confidence across a wide range of terrain, the frame is designed to accommodate up to 2.4" rubber so you can customise the grip to your riding style as your confidence improves.
Finished off with quality Eastern branded contact points along with a Velo Saddle and Grips, they bring a touch of comfort and class not normally seen at this price.
The Eastern Alpaka, is a go anywhere capable machine ready to ride.

Reviews
Not so good
"It’s good for the money but I had many problems. The left crank stripped the inside of the pedal. Came with very poor brakes that bled and gave out completely within only a week. They sent me a new pair and those had the same problem, not even a week and the brakes squeeze to the handlebar and apply no pressure. Also upon arrival the brake rotor on the front wheel came bent and had to replace it. Also the derailer is very poor and needs tuned every month if not replaced. On the good side the handlebars, wheels, tires, and frame are all amazing for the price. But the brakes, crank, and derailleur aren’t great."

The bike arrived in perfect
"The bike arrived in perfect condition and it was easy to assemble. Unfortunately, the brakes do not work which is why I’m giving 3/5 stars."

Shipping was fast. Bike is great.
"Got the Eastern Alpaka hardtail in size XL. Color blue. I used to ride and race mtb in the late 80s thru the 90s. I'm 66 years old now. Haven't had a bike with 29" wheels or new geometry before. So thought I'd upgrade. This bike is great. Only thing I'll be changing is the pedals and down the road I may put on an air fork. But the ones that come with the bike are adequate for most people that will be buying this price range. It's a very good feeling bike."

Shifting not smooth
"Doesn’t shift right."

Great entry level bike. Brakes
"Great entry level bike. Brakes work great. Assembly was easy. The derailleur is the only weak spot."
— Grant S. (4/5)
Honestly it wasn’t a good
"Honestly it wasn’t a good experience, the brakes came bad, I had to pay for assembly and deinstall the brakes, they send me another pair of brakes and I have to pay again for install the brakes, they reimburse me money compensation for that, but even though the brakes collapse again and i had to pay again for new brakes and installation this time. Bike is good but this process just gets me frustrated"

Disappointing early failure — pedal stripped crank after 2nd ride
"Bought this MTB recently and was excited to break it in. On my second ride, literally cruising at baby speeds on flat pavement with my daughter, the pedal ripped all the threads out of the crank arm. No crashes, no hard riding — just casual pedaling. Turns out the crank is made of very soft aluminum that couldn’t handle even minimal use. I had the pleasure of walking the bike home. This might be a one-off defect, and to be fair, the rest of the bike seems decent so far. But honestly, this is a big red flag for durability and build quality right out of the gate. If you’re considering this bike, inspect the crank and pedals carefully or plan for an early upgrade."
— Christopher F. (1/5)
Bleeding
"This bike would be good value if I didn’t have to invest time adjusting the derailer because a bike with less than ten miles on it is throwing the chain over the 9th gear into the spokes. Additionally the rear brakes didn’t work out of the box. information on a bleeding procedure is not provided with the bike. At this price point I expect to upgrade components, but not after 1 ride."
— cameron s. (1/5)
Several issues
"Bought 2 bikes, I came damaged. I reached out to counter service and got a quick response and they replaced the broken part. The other bike’s brakes failed after about a month of use. Again, they responded quickly and sent a replacement. I’m hoping the other bike’s brakes don’t fail also. Great customer service, however I didn’t buy brand new bikes to have all these issues. I would not recommend unless you want to have issues to fix."
