Buy a bike with a well known air fork, forget about the groupset SRAM vs Shimano. The fork is what set those bikes apart ito weight etc... I will look for a entry level bike that is kitted with a SR Suntour Air you can service the Suntour fork, look for a bike with a SR Suntour Raidon fork at least, not the AliExpress forks on some of the bikes mentioned above.

Any advice on a generic cassette that works 100% on SRAM 10-50 groupset? Looking at the KCNC 9-52 cassette, and have read that it is not working 100% with the older SRAM 10-50 groupset, or must it be used with the new SRAM Lunar 10-52 groupset? Any feedback on the issue... Anybody tried the E*thriteen G2 9-50 cassette? What about the SUNRACE XD 10-50 (SunRace CSMZ91X WT5 10-50t) as an option??
