@ShredderG if I where you I'd get this https://www.rei.com/product/245871/rocky-mountain-altitude-alloy-50-mountain-bike because its a Enduro and for 3k it don't get much better

@leander if they 3k I might need to get one and upgrade from my 2011 Cannondale jekyll 2

as close to spec as the one in this I could make https://www.bikology.com/builder/2024-rocky-mountain-altitude?build=tandem-squirrel-bingo-fuel-5544

this one is nice for 2.8k https://www.rei.com/product/245871/rocky-mountain-altitude-alloy-50-mountain-bike with tax's shipping it will be 3k

I don't know about new but in my area with 3k you can get a bike that's msrp is was like 10-15k like 3 years ago used

@Nolund101357 he said for enduro/down hill he needs a enduro your not doing enduro on a down hill but you can do down hill on a enduro

would have put a normal seat post but there are nun so dropper

@mtbmani 4/10 that blue don't go well with everything else

its a good starter bike

@thedud123 id still try to get a newer bike tho because that one is out dated and it says it carbon and old carbon is not good and it like because way weaker so yu should try to get a newer bike but if it works it works

@alexanderbbb what ever you want if you buy the frame it will cost more but it will be to your liking the whole bike will probably be cheaper but you might not like parts on it

@Wills-elite you need to stop hating respect all bikes but not road bike dont respect road bikes there for old people

@alexanderbbb id probably get one used on market place but idk how the market is over there

what forbidden you need to post the bike bro

@thedud123 7.4/10 I don't like the sls spring

@SALAH I got you just no name or age on the one I filled

@ldunlop how did you do that

@trafficones its not old and the "new" one is just a different version this one is just the cheapest option if it was old they would not still be selling it

@biker2.0 it was like so they don't have to update the stuff on every bike they just removed most of them
