anybody know how much weihjt this bike will support safely?
What’s the difference between this boba fire schwinn and the one that costs 200?
They seem identical.
I would say nothing except for the pricing.
They both reference the same ASIN on the mothership so I would imagine that they are identical except for possibly the purchase orders upon which Woot acquired them. It would not be the first time that they have done something like that.

The Schwinn Bonafide Mountain Bike is marketed as a unisex bike, although it has a men’s style frame.
The Schwinn Bonafide Mountain Bike has 29-inch wheels and a 17-inch aluminum frame, which is designed to fit riders who are 5’4 to 6’2 inches tall.
Per Amazon Rufus Ai
This is an example of what we used to call Persian rug pricing: original listed price $600; on Woot for $400; and same item also shown on Woot for $200. Caveat emptor, as we also used to say…
Good info Kevin, thanks. As many know, MTBs (and most other bikes) are all “unisex” these days, except for a few high-end brands that tweak the frame geometry slightly for women. For this cheap bike, only the listed frame size and standover height matter.
Another good question and catch!
Anyone know if Woot will honor the $200 pricing for this one? I’m not paying double for the same bike but would purchase at $200. So bizarre to list the same bike twice at the same time for two substantially different prices.
Not a chance.
