Sram Shimano
Buying your first mountain bike
Buying a new mountain bike can be confusing. There are several brands of mountain bikes, and several different types of each brand. Always buy a bike for what they are going to use it. We all know downhill and freeride bikes look awesome, but if you are going to be is cross country, buy a bike cross country. Now there are two types of cross-country bike hard tail and full suspension. Neither is better than the other. The deciding factor is how feel to you personally. full suspension is better for long walks usual butt hurts so bad, and the hard tail gives you a feeling of being better connected land and feel a little more sensitive. But again, everything is personal preference.
One thing many people do not know, is that most bikes in the same price range generally have the same components. The main brands are Shimano and SRAM, which are large companies. Since all components are nearly equal, the most important thing is the frame. The framework has to be strong, a little light, but most of all you need to feel good to you. The most important thing to do is test ride! Try as many different bikes as you can, then once you find one you really like, here are some more. If you do this I promise will not be disappointed with your purchase. Many bike shops will let you rent the bikes they have and will try on the roads. I would definitely take this.
