I'm looking to buy a new bike in the coming weeks. So far I've looked at stuff like the Rocky Mountain Element 930 and Merida Big Ninety Nine 1000. Both of these are full suss 29ers at about 25000. I ride mostly in Tokai and I want to have as much comfort and confidence going downhill as possible without compromising uphill riding. My current bike is a Silverback Alpine 26 hardtail with a very entry level SR Suntour fork so it is definitely due for an upgrade. Any thoughts on the bikes I've named? Any suggestions of other bikes?
Started cycling a few years back with basic Raleigh entry level MTB. Last year decide to get into a more serious level and picked up a TITAN SPORT 29R. My legs failed after abt 30km on dirt with the Titan...mission completing 42km. Realized weight does play a major factor. :-| Considering a 650B now ...looked at Merida BIG 7 300 and Giant Talon 1..trying not to break the piggy B on this one. any thoughts on decent 27" @ this price bracket?
Hi, Looking to buy a gift for someone who does mountain biking. I am confused if I should go Rudy Project, Adidas or Oakley??? I am swaying towards Rudy Project but now Rydon or Agon? I cant find the difference online? Are Photo-chromatic lenses a good idea? Would really appreciate any help
