Damn! Imagine that - dropping R50k on your first MTB!

only problem is if you get the wrong one, for me that was an xc bike instead of a trail bike. Spent a lot less than 50k on the xc bike luckily, which is now a wall decoration

 

on the flip side, a super stiff xc bike is fun too...

I don't understand why people insist on buying XC racing bikes when they are recreational riders.

 

It would be like getting a Lamborghini for your first car. Sure it's pretty awesome, but it's uncomfortable and difficult to park. Everyone that sees you stalling at every intersection will also think you're a tool.

 

Rather get a bike that is a little friendlier to your skillset, and a lot more comfortable to ride - a BMW if you will.

 

I don't know what brands tickle you, but consider a light trail bike for its comfort and forgiveness. It won't give up much on the climbs but will give back much more in terms of happy riding.
