Hi Guys
This is my first post here. I thought it would be more appropriate to post here rather than create a new thread as this one seems to be quite active.
I am hoping to enter into the world of mountain biking and wanting to purchase my first EMTB. I'm looking for some advice on which bike to get. I don't have much riding experience, other than some basic downhill trails when I was in my early teens. I am from Canberra, Australia -- we have so many great trails around here that I have always wanted to check out.
So far I have been looking into the following bikes:
My budget is around $4000-$6500 AUD. It might seem a little steep for my first bike, but I would rather spend more money now on a decent bike than to purchase one and find out I want to upgrade in a year or so.
Look forward to posting more once I get a bike!
