    Good mountain bike?

    Those of you that are into bikes... what is a good mountain bike to buy? I dont need the top of the line model, just something decent. There are so many on the market now, and its been 11 years since I last rode, that I have no clue what is considered to be a quality bike these days.

    Please & Thanks

              What's your budget and what kind of riding do you want to do?

                          I have new Trek 8.3 Dual Sport (hybrid) which I'm loving so far. Cost around $700.

                          I've only used it as a road bike, but I'm trying it on the trails this weekend. I'm sure Trek makes a decent mountain bike also.

                          If you're casual like me, I would get a dual-sport because you might want to take the bike on paved roads also.

                              Just got a Trek myself about a week and a half ago and I love it so far. It was awkward for me to get back on a bike after not riding one for a long time but I'm starting to get used to it again. Also, once you get your bike, check out the app stores for your phone, some pretty cool biking apps out there.

                                      That's a great price, but bikes that cheap with full suspension and disc brakes make me wonder what they cut the quality on to keep the price that low.

                                          Not really interested in spending more than $1500, and would prefer to keep the price under $1000.

                                          As for riding, will be a lot of street... but we have nice desert trails (hard packed, not deep sand) and some challenging mountain trails nearby. I wont be doing any of that extreme downhill stuff.

                                              Yeah dual sport... or "urban" I think some guys call it... thats mostly what I'm interested in. I'll check out Trek, thanks.

                                                  Found a Trek dealer just a few blocks up the street from me. I'm going to trek down there right now and check them out.

                                                  Thanks guys

                                                      For a bike in the $400-500 range, it is a lot of bike ... and made by RALEIGH, so you know it's not going to break at the welds if you rough it up a bit!

It was awkward for me to get back on a bike after not riding one for a long time but I'm starting to get used to it again. Also, once you get your bike, check out the app stores for your phone, some pretty cool biking apps out there.

Just because it's not $1000+ it does not make it a shitty bike. If I was a hardcore mountain biker then ya, I would have gotten a much more high end bike, but I'm not so spending that kind of $ is stupid.

                                                                                                                      A 20 year old civic probably does get around fine. They are meant to last.

                                                                                                                      An avid bike rider who rides every day is of course going to want a better bike. But someone who just rides here and there, it is a waste to spend more money than you need for something you may not use that much.

                                                                                                                      My Yamaha scooter cost $1500, and I ride it every day. Paying that for a bicycle that I only ride 2 or 3 times a week (max) isn't logical. But I can easily see how someone who rides seriously and does so often, would want the best bike he could afford.

Bought it 2 or 3 years ago and ride it six days per week on tar and dirt road; so far, I had four tire punctures and fell really bad only once.

It was awkward for me to get back on a bike after not riding one for a long time but I'm starting to get used to it again. Also, once you get your bike, check out the app stores for your phone, some pretty cool biking apps out there.

I wont be doing any of that extreme downhill stuff.

There's one on Lake Mead & Rainbow and another in Henderson on Sunset. Picked up a Fisher sugar4 a few years back for 1/2 price. Front & rear shocks and actually rode it on the trails and streets in/around Vegas. Was more than adequate.

                                                                                                                                              I agree, that is a piece of shit.

                                                                                                                                              I didn't see that Trek has no frames that matches your need, that's a first I've heard but hey. If you can, get a Specialized, they are usually top of the line. It also depends on the range of equipment you can but on, but with a very limited budget like that, you won't get much high end stuff.

                                                                                                                                              I have 3 bikes that I could recommend, I think the first bike I bought was a bargain at around $1000 it was a Giant Terrago Trail model, don't think they make en anymore. It's heavy as a horse but you can't break it. The second is a Ghost RT-7500 Full suspension bike for XT racing. The third is a Giant AC2 that's only got the frame left from the original bike, everything else has been replaced to make it handle Dowhill better.

                                                                                                                                              If you are new and can't find any Trek bikes that fit, I'd go with Specialized, Scott, Giant or Ghost bikes (in that priority). And do get a hardtail, if you get a new full suspension for anything below $3K it's gonna be crap (I think, I'm in Europe shit is expensive here).

                                                                                                                                                      I am going to pick up one of these http://www.specialized.com/us/en/bik...xpertcarbonevo as soon as the 2013s are out.

It definitely comes down to how much you're actually going to use it. When I was a teenager my best friend lived next door and was a semi pro mountain biker. He always had two of everything (mountain climbing belts, kayaks, bikes, etc) and so I always got to ride his backup.

                                                                                                                                                                      What I remember about good bikes was how light they were (huuuge difference) which lets you sort of put the bike where you want it to go much better. Using bike shoes that attach to the pedals made a massive difference too, because you can get power on your upstroke. Totally different experience and worth it imo. Gears were the other thing, and I think the most expensive. If you get a set of great gears and derailleurs, it really makes a world of difference. Smooth, fast, powerful..

It's a great bike. Very light, very very fast, strong, handles light trails (bumpy not rocky) fine, on the road it's a dream and stops like you hit a brick wall. Only thing I changed was swapping the seat off my HT as the one the Hybrid comes with is a nut crusher. Excellent bike for the money.

Good solid frame, front suspension has good travel and absorbs most of the washboards, comfortable (although I replaced the stock seat with a nice cushie one).

Good solid frame, front suspension has good travel and absorbs most of the washboards, comfortable (although I replaced the stock seat with a nice cushie one).


                                                                                                                                                                                          I ride this Raleigh now, the frame is from 1976, made in Japan, size 62 [!].

I am going to buy another one because of this frame is Huge and its uncomfortable to use for me [6 feet ~ 180 cm].
