best mountain bike
What is the best beginner mountain bike?
I am new into XC mountain biking. Main goal is to enjoy the great outdoor. Currently, using a loaned full susp Haro Extreme 6 and didn’t like it. Would like to get my own bike for less than 1k. Hope to get recommendation of specific model(hard tail). Prefer good frame with lower end components so that I can upgrade as my skill progresses.
Well I started out my whole MTB love/addiction/obsession on a simple $350 DiamondBack Response… No disc brakes or anything… just a simple Response… all Sram, 2.1 Kenda Klaw tires, WTB seat, etc. Im sure they’re cheaper and better now thn they wer when I got mine… I lvoed that bike!!!!!!!!!!!!! Very basic components but a STRONG frame to mod out. Always start out on a hardtail… A) it gives you way better practice and training for movign on to full sus if ever desired and B) They’re stronger then a low-end full suspension bike… (my friend is liek 110lbs and broke his IronHorse Maverick frame in half on a 10″ curb) I recommend this incase u decide to explore other MTB styles or riding… I chose street freeride so i was able to mod out my Response pretty well and It’s held up to insane stair gaps and jumps etc… I HIGHLY recommend a strong AM (All-Mountain) bike when starting out… Please take these suggestions into consideration… You won’t be disapointed
