Best Mountain bikes to purchase
Some people consider it a passion, some an extreme sport, some consider it “illness” and yet for the people practicing it – it’s just recreation. Mount biking has become very popular these days but believe me you can’t be a good mount biker without a first class mountain bike.
Some people think it’s an expensive sport, but in my opinion it all depends on how seriously you approach the sport. If you’re a serious mount bike freak, you must definitely continue to read this article, but if you are a beginner I advice you to do more digging and find out as much as you can about this sport before you start practicing it.
If you have just started ridding a mount bike, it shouldn’t take off a lot of your pocket. A bike of $400 to $800 might do the thing for you. Most of the experts recommend the Specialized Hardrock Sport. Its’ latest version will take out about $440 off your pocket. It’s good for beginners and on and off riders and it offers a though aluminum frame that gives a pleasant ride. Also you could go for Trek 4300 Disc which also has an aluminum frame and instead of the classic V- style breaks they offer disc brakes that are good even for muddy or wet conditions.
Now, let’s get down to business. The next few lines are for the serious mount bikers. The Kona Cadabra offers you a suspension system that can expand 6.4 inches to absorb the hit when going on a downhill. The only disadvantage, according to experts that it appears to be a bit heavy. This pleasure of a mountain bike will cost you around $2800.
Also experts recommend the Trek Fuel EX 8. This mountain bike has less than 5 inches of suspension and has preformed great in the pedaling section but runs on some problems with the tires. If you are taking this mountain bike into consideration be ware it will cost you about $2300.
There are also a few other mountain bikes that the market offers those are:
• Zesty 714 – carbon frame and great handling
• Santa Cruz – experts consider it a fan bike
• Narco’s Atomik – with a balanced suspension and although it might seem old- fashioned it’s a very functional rear.
Also the following American brands of mountain bikes are recommended, Randall Scott Cycle Company, Eastern Mountain Sports, Jenson USA.
In the end I would like to say that a bigger amount of money purchases a better quality of mounting bikes but that goes only for the serious mount bikers. If you are a passer by in this sport just go and rent a bike, don’t spend that amount of money if you aren’t serious in your biking intentions.
