I want to start mountain biking but i don't know what type or brand of bike I should get? |
I'm looking for a sturdy reliable bike that can handle trails and off-road stuff but i need to keep it under $600. I have that same question haha but i have been looking online and found that trek and specialized make really nice mountain bikes and some are in the 500-600$ price range the one i am looking at right now is the trek 4300 (the price is not on the trek website they want you to go to a bike shop to buy it but from what i found online it is around 500$) trek makes really well bult bikes for half decent prices (specialized to) but your best bet would be to go to a bike shop they can help you find just what you need! and also for some added pointers in that price range get a hardtail bike (one without a rear suspension) full suspension bikes are great!! if you got 2 grand to blow on a bike you can find them for 600 bucks but they are gona be pieces of **** and break on you. also stay away from walmart!!! i have had like 5 difrent bikes from there and it might just be how i ride but they all break on me and everyone else i have talked to said the same go to a good bike shop!! they will have nice bikes that wont break!! (excuse my ranting) A Trek 4300 would be good for you, they come in black, and will leave you with about $80 to spare. Treks also come with LIFETIME warranty on all frames, and 1-2 years on parts. If you want durability and longevity, you can't go wrong with a guarantee like that. Trek is also the #1 retail store brand name in America, by the numbers. shop around at different bike shops, and find a dealer and bike that you are comfortable with. all the major brands offer a lifetime frame warranty, this isn't exclusive to trek! there are a plethora of bikes in your price range, so have fun testing them out! when you're on the trails, no one will look at your Specialized, and say: "gee, you sholuld have got a Trek!" well, perhaps one poster will.. http://www.google.com/products?q=mountai... Tour the local bike shops and tell them what you are looking for you can get a nice one for less them $600. |

What do you consider a long bike trip? I ride a 100 miler a week. Do you mean that long - or - longer? The best tip you can receive is to be in shape for the length and conditions of the ride....
