I'm so glad we had much better quality at the entry level when I started mountain biking in the mid-90s!

My slightly-above- entry-level Schwinn High Plains 21 spd mountain bike was $365 in 1994, 30 year's ago, or $773.52 in today's $$.

Bikes online or bikes direct…a bit more expensive but way better

@@notpablo8369 must be hard to find a helmet for you seeing your mother clearly dropped you on your head as a child. Wipe your mouth, you’re drooling.

Ive a Cannondale Trail 8 for 3 or 4 yrs. All it needed was to thru the front and rear wheel . I refitted the crank with a Mid-drive EMTB motor. No regrets still running great with usual maintenance.

Another great video. I know it’s direct to consumer but in my opinion the Canyon Grand Canyon 5 is probably the best entry level hardtail for the money. 29er with Shimano Deore 1x12 drivetrain, Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes, Schwalbe tires & Suntour X1 100mm coil fork. It retails for $700 but it’s often on sale for around $500. I’m probably bias as I have a Stoic 3 that I love but the Grand Canyon packs a lot for the price

Holy crap! That's a smokin deal. I may do a little more research and follow up this video with a "best value hardtail" video or something. Include that Canyon you just mentioned. Thanks for watching!

Those prices for a rockhopper is nuts. That should be Hardrock pricing and Rockhopper's should be more!

Noone talking about Ozark trails 29s

@ok.........................0 yea I've seen those. Pretty sweet for the $$$

i just bought a rockhopper sport for 540€. i compared several bikes (cannondale, trek, scott) that i can found in shops around, and the rock was the best option (along with scott) for components. i decided for specy rather than scott because i began with MTB with a 2000 rockhopper, and i was happy with its geometry, and because in the last 23 years i had: 2000 rockhopper, 1997 (maybe) dh palmer replica, 2003 demo9, 2013 (maybe) pitch, and i was always happy, they have a geometry that perfectly fits me.

The Rockhopper is kind of an iconic bike.

Looking at getting a Cannondale 7.1 for my first bike in many years.

They are great bikes if you ride casually on trails, but I wouldn't push them to aggressively. They are great bikes if you're just starting out . Heck, I still ride my Agressor 2.0. I love it! I never upgraded because I'm more of a casual trail rider.

Moral: get you a polygon

I need to look into them. Going to take these other suggestions and put together a great value hardtail video.

The problem with entry level budget bike is always quick release not boost compatible

That's a really good point. Makes it nearly impossible to wheel upgrade. There are much better options out there for around the same price or just a bit more. I'm going to work on a video discussing those bikes.

Road biking background here, I bought a fatbike for the winter but I'm wondering if i need a front fork to hit some easier mountain bike trails this summer? My tires are 26x 4.8s

A suspension fork might be nice, but you would just have to find one that can fit that wide tire.

Radon ZR Team 6.0 at sale for 599€ looks good. I have the radon ZR Team 8.0 and its pretty good for the price i think, so the 6.0 might be good too but i dont know. I know it isnt one of the big brands especially outside Germany
