This bike was rare in this color as this was a Performance Bike USA exclusive model labeled "Pro" rather than "Super". Full suspension XC bike with dark brown frame. My bike is unique in that it has a vintage Nukeproof zero rise stem with a unique triangular shaped handlebar clamp with a 3-bolt design (not pictured), white WTB Rocket V seat (not pictured), white handlebars (not pictured), black and gray Ergon grips with black stubby rounded bar ends (not pictured), and white Tektro brake reservoirs and calipers with 160mm disc brakes. My rear wheel is not true and wobbles. The first photo is of my bike before I installed the white flat handlebars, Ergon grips with bar ends, and Nukeproof stem. The second photo is just a stock profile photo of the brown Performance Bikes USA exclusive Mongoose Otero Pro. My bike is easily identifiable by the unique white hydraulic brake lever reservoirs on the handlebars (most others are black).
