I need a trail bike?



i am looking for a trail bike for under 500$. My style of riding is from fire roads to goat paths. I dont want rear sspension. This bike will not be used for any street riding at all so i do not want a all terain bike. I want something that wont fall apart or break too easy.(i always break deraliers)

Hey,

My advice... go do lots of test riding. I don't want to suggest a particular brand, because the bike needs to be comfortable for you.

At that price range, you'll have many options that will be similar in quality.

Here are a few to check:
trek 4300
Specialized Hard Rock
Norco Scrambler
Gary fisher Marlin

There are many many more. You'll ride a bike and know that its good for you, just do lots of test riding

good luck Source(s): work in a bike shop
I have a nice Trek that was about $300 and has held up well on some wild single tracks here in the mountains of California!
for around 500 bucks the best thing money can buy is a 2008 specialized hardrock comp disc. they retail at 550 and are great bikes.
check out the specs, nothing can beat it for the price and it has a lifetime warranty on the frame and 1 year on any moving parts (i.e. cranks, fork, pedals)

Specialized makes good bike in that price range. Check out the Hardrock Pro or Rockhopper with disc brakes. You should not need any upgrades for a bit.
