>>1501308Not only that, My full suspension bike with superior parts picks up way more speed than my friend's new xc 29. When I was in fornt of him on the trail he notice how my rear whell was moving up and down reading the terrain while he was shaking all over the same terrain.
But yeah, bikes as good as these are too expensive.
What is I find quite sad is fully rigid bikes that are almost as expensive as ones with double suspensions and are attempted to be sold as go to trails with "more emotions".
I don't have much experience, but I'd bet even more simple full suspension frames with proper shocks and front would make the bike feel awesome on trail/dirty roads.
Maybe used from some store would be awesome too.
