    Best emtb on a budget?

    Yes, ain’t that the truth, Hence why this Norco I rode today is very tempting, the shop is like 10km away from my home, didn’t even know it existed till today. In saying that the shop with focus jam2 6.7 is only 20km away. The rest are considerably further to travel. Both bike feel completely...

    Best emtb on a budget?

    Size Large, Yeah been all over that page. Just got back from 3 shops today and confused myself even more, as one had a Norco Sight VLT A1 with nice bike but has the older Shimano 8000 motor in it, is there really that much of a difference? But the offer was $5500 and I could have it, that’s...

    Best emtb on a budget?

    Your best bet is to call all the Merida dealers that don't have a website - better chance of them having stock than the bigger online operations IMO. yes I’ve driven around pretty much every suburb and done it the old way, have come across plenty Merida’s just all small or mediums unfortunately

    New bike on a budget, input required.

    Hey all, I’m on the hunt for a new emtb. I’ve already been to several shops and ridden a few around the block and have also had the luxury of my Brother upgrading and keeping his old Bike as a loaner (2019 Merida e160 700) which I’ve had fun on. But now I’m at the pointy end of my decision and...
