So been riding DirtBikes 50 yrs, and don’t intend to stop anytime soon!
But working out and doing cardio have become a Bore!!!!
So there’s a place close by that a mt bike trail I’ve considered trying it out! But don’t want to spend a bunch of money and not be into it! But don’t want a piece of crap that I won’t enjoy riding, so you guys have any inexpensive recommendations?
Thanks
What are the trails like there? Can you give a price range? I had an Ibis Ripmo AF with a Fox 38. It covered a pretty wide range of riding disciplines. Sold it cheap too so I'm sure there are some deals out there.
I bought a Specialized Rock Hopper in 2001 for $800. Hardtail with crappy forks but good enough for me and the trails I ride nearby.
Being it is 28lbs and it replaced a 36lb 1990 no suspension Schwin....I thought it was the greatest bike ever.
Spend the most you can! 🤣 not kidding.
Got into it during Covid on a $300 Proflex. What a pile of shit! But it got me in shape.
So, I added another $1000 and bought this.
Not real sure about the trails, it kinda in a creek bottom I think it’s around 2 mi start to finish! I’m sure it is not too hilly maybe a few ups & downs but no hill climbs! Thinking not more than $300! Then if I really get into it maybe something more expensive!

Looks like you really got into it! Lol i doubt I’ll get that serious but ya never know!!!!
I went down that rabbit hole around that time too. Next thing you know I have two DH bikes in the garage and live in...Kentucky.
Yeah, if in 2019 you told me I’d be buying a house due to its location to MTB’ing…….
At the new house I can ride chairlift downhill nearly every day.
