Need to get a bike, considering a Motobecane, online is half to a third of the price to equivalent specced bikes from a store,

Anyone tried the brand? If not what mtb brands would you recommend between 500-1500$ ?

Thank you anons

No one who NEEDS a bike needs an mtb.

you're gonna want a hardtail 29er

less shit to break, easier to climb, generally better for what you're looking to do.

check pinkbike first. might catch a good deal.

The motobecane isn't bad but it has 0 trail cred cause it isn't name brand and everyone knows where you got it. I'd take the stickers off or build up a chinese carbon frame.

Trail cred is earned by the rider.

what makes you think you need a full suspension bike? If you want to get a mtb at that price, get a hardtail, you're getting a better bike. Less stuff to break, since there's no rear suspension everything else can get more attention and care.

You don't need a full suspension bike if your on dirt paths. Unless by dirt paths you mean rough black diamond singletrack and i'm also gonna be launching off jumps

A hardtail will do rough stuff fine

a hybrid or cyclocross bike will go offroad fantastically as well but aren't a good choice if you're going to be on rough singletrack like pic related, or anything where you have lots of obstacles like roots or rocks you're slamming over

also go in the bike buying general next time

frame manufacture is largely irrelevant. you could put an X1 group, Guide Rs, a Float and a 36 on a Walgoose and likely not worry about the frame failing.

quit shilling hardtails- a decent fox shock is only like $150 now and they are really fucking good. Its a whole new sport compared to 90s coil shocks.

I think you can get a pretty decent mtb in the 1000$-1500$ range.
