To be honest guys I fell for the meme and bought a low end MTB since I moved to an area with a lot of trails for a few months
I hate it. The biggest problem is most of the trails are loose rocks/gravel over dirt. Absolutely no grip. I have not hit a hill I don't have the legs for, I just am constantly spinning out. Downhill I lose control of the front end and have crashed multiple times. This loose gravel is hell to ride on. Even worse is the rock gardens. Do you guys enjoy the constant vibration going though your arms and shoulders? You can't pick up any momentum on the uphill. And your holding the breaks on the descents. The front suspension does absolutely nothing. The bike in general feels so sluggish in general.
Give me a road bike and smooth tarmac anyday. Or even a gravel bike(read road bike with wider tires) and hardpack anyday
