The first time I ever really got into mountain biking, I was visiting my Grandparents for the December holidays. I didn't have a bike, so I borrowed my grandfather's 2003 Nishiki Thunder... A fully rigid steel monstrosity, with a threaded headset, rusted, worn-out rim brakes, and no-name brand, perished tires pumped to within a few PSI of bursting. This was mistake number 1. In my infinite wisdom, I asked my grandfather to drive me and the bike to the top of a really large off-road mountain pass, so that I could "enjoy" the ride back down. This was mistake number 2. Finally, I didn't have any cycling shorts, and turned down a kind offer to borrow some from a family member. This was mistake number 3. What seemed like a fun, winding downhill dirt road lasting a few miles on the drive up, turned into a sadistic taint-pounding torture fest from the moment I started the descent. The rigid steel frame seemed to amplify every washboard rut in that road into a vicious attack on my family jewels, beating up those poor bastards like they owed the road money, despite the geriatric spec gel seat cover. My nuts still audibly scream whenever I think of that fateful day. The gradient wasn't particularly steep, but the brakes were utterly useless, burning up immediately and providing a lovely smell of fire to punctuate my descent into hell. Despite the fact that I gripped those levers all the way to the bars, the bike just continued to accelerate down the hill, resulting in much puckering of my sphincter. The rock-hard tires were over-achievers... They were not satisfied with merely buggering my giblets to the point of sterilization, but they also aimed to achieve a perfect state of zero traction. Each corner that I took was a 50-50 chance of me bursting a gonad or falling off the side of a cliff. On several occasions, I nearly wiped out into oncoming traffic - which, at the time would've probably served as sweet relief from the seventh circle of ballpain that I was banished to. In the end, I walked away with several loose fillings and an abrupt end to my family lineage... But the experience did not dissuade me from buying a proper bike and getting into this crazy sport.

Yeah I can see it to be honest. Mountain bike trails can be very rough and I suppose they just cannot guarantee safety and stability under those conditions. If you just want a bike that can get decent traction and go on dirt without too much trouble then they will probably work alright. If you are using a bike for a sporting purpose and not just exercise or short commuting then you should probably spend some more money.

My father is a retired Firefighter/EMT in Michigan. His department had multiple rescues out of one of our favorite popular MCMBA sanctioned trails known as "the most dangerous trails in the Midwest"; many of those were from people trying to ride Huffy and other department store bikes. Broken seat tubes, posts, frames, handlebars, etc. They should not be allowed to call these things "mountain bikes". When I first got into mountain biking, I had much success with a couple of bikes that were between $500 to $800 on sale. One was a Diamond Back and one was a Trek, both bought at actual bike shops. They were both ridden for years, and were even better with some upgrades. I didn't ride as hard back then so they served their purpose. Bottom-line, as a beginner, you can have some safe and reliable fun by spending the extra money. Of course, as your riding skills increase, be prepared to shell out the big bucks; it's definitely worth it!

My first bike was a $100 mongoose from Walmart. I always had something loose or broken on every ride then I took it to a real bike shop for repair. The guy at the shop told me fix it would be like $60. I found that expensive for a $100 bike. Then the guy told me to return it and buy a $500 Trek from them. It was the BEST thing I have ever done.

Reminds me of my first mountain bike, was like a $500 mongoose from an actual shop, it lasted about 4 months before it fell apart, broken chains, derailleurs were junked, the frame flexed to high heaven. Was apparent after that experience that if its not at least $1000, its garbage

It all depends on the brand. My $550 Giant hardtail gets ridden on real trails all the time, and nothing breaks. I wouldn't hit jumps or big drops on it, but for regular trail riding, it does just fine. The bike I had as a teenager was a $180 Diamond Back rigid bike, I completely thrashed that bike on trails in Arizona, and it never failed (ok had to have the front wheel trued a few times, but that was par for the course with steel wheels back then). but that was me at 15 years old, deciding I was going everywhere the adults on their uber expensive bikes with suspension would go haha.

The amount of components on a low end bike that rust or gradually become substandard within 1-3 years is very high though, not great for keeping long-term through that alone.

Thanks for making this video. I’ve always wondered how bad these bikes are when ridden on a trail. Now I know.

About 5 years ago, I had bought a used but in perfect condition 21 speed full-suspension bike with steel frame, Sram Grip Shifters and Shimano Tourney derailleurs for 100$. I regularly change Shimano Megarange sprocket + chain once a year (15$), and I'm riding mountain bike trails almost every day and still very happy with it. :-)

After watching so many of your videos, one of my favorite aspects to your approach is your sensitivity to cost/pricing. You seem successful in your KZread career and financially stable in life. So the fact that you are able to understand and relate to those on a budget, or even on a “major budget”, just makes your videos much more intriguing and relatable. To me, that means you know the meaning of “hard times”. And your success is well earned and far more deserved and I’m truly happy for you in your achievements. I’m new to the sport and I don’t even own a bike yet. But I am obsessed with mountain biking and trail riding ever since joining my friend who took me on a few trips. I am patiently awaiting the day I will own a mountain bike and am strategically planning its manifestation. Thank you, Seth, for everything you do for the biking community! You inspired me tremendously!

I like how everybody is saying that these bikes are really dangerous despite the fact that Seth has taken this bike to some of the roughest trails in the world and pushed it as hard as he possibly could, and Alex's bike even survived. Nobody who buys this expects to do these trails with it, they just want to ride local trails which probably aren't that big

His laugh at 7:02 is so genuine and hilarious. He can't even feel bad for his friend because of how stupid the situation is lmao

I think he should buy a WallMart bmx and see how it Lasts at a skate park like so Seth can see

Many more professional mountain bikes in the 500-800 dollar range also use springs. Matter of fact, was just looking at a $300 rear suspension shock that uses an internal spring with a small charge of air to set the sag height.

I bought on of these the other day just to see how I feel about Mountain Biking. I'm loving it, but I'm already excited to upgrade. I am in no way experienced, but I can tell it sucks. My wife flat out laughed at the welds on both of ours. The suspension makes them pogo sticks, and the brakes are a suggestion. The chains/whole drivetrain pop like crazy, and I know some of that could be me. It's the popping on flat ground just cruising that always gets me. Like damn bro. There is nothing even going on. Calm down lol. It can't decide what gear it wants to be in, but I also haven't adjusted anything yet. I'm afraid of making it worse. It's fun to see videos like this though.
