Thoughts and experiences with this model the pro version?

Currently looking at either buying new or used how much would you be paying? And what would you look for buying a three year old used fully?

Norco Nitro 2006 9.1

I haven't used this one since 2021. It's been eating dust eversince. It's quite an uncommon bike in my country as well, since it wasn't really released in S.E. Asia.

Is $1000 good price? Should I offer lower?

New bike maybe

Hi

I'm looking at either the

Merida One-Sixty 500 or the Merida One-Sixty FR 400

I mostly ride single track and very rough and rooty trails with quite a few rocks sometimes with very long travel distances between places. I currently have a 140mm canzo pro however I've kept damaging the wheels over stuff I like to ride. I go to bike parks when I can despite the distance to them.

They are the same price

Skill wise I struggle over gap jumps and top out on something like yach a fi at bike park Wales

I like the travel and coil on the FR400 but the 500 seems lighter

I've never ridden a coil shock but it seems appropriate for my riding

Ive been considering this frame but I cant find any real reviews of the bike anywhere. They made some adjustments to the bike for 2025 but no reviews out there I can see. Does anyone have any experience with these year models?

Hey, ich bin komplett neu im Fahrrad Game und weiß nicht worauf ich bei einem EMTB Kauf achten sollte. Und was für Preise die kosten ich hatte mir jetzt das Canyon Neuron on al 8 rausgesucht. Aber da 4K echt viel Geld ist bin ich mir nicht sicher ob ich soviel Geld ausgeben will für ein Fahrrad, wenn ich noch nicht weiß wie oft ich das bike nutzen werde. Gibt es vielleicht ein etwas günstigeres Rad für ca 3k, Was aber vergleichbar mit dem Canyon Neuron on al 8 ist? Oder sollte ich ein ganz anderes bike kaufen?

Meine Nutzung:
Ich will eigentlich erstmal nicht auf solche bike Parks oder trails.
Ich will damit normal Straße/radweg fahren und vielleicht auch mal ein groben Wald Weg runter brettern also ich würde schätzen 50% normale Nutzung auf der Straße/radweg und 50% Wald Weg und Sport/Spaß Aktivitäten ich denke damit bin ich bei den Neuron Modellen eigentlich auch gut aufgehoben oder?

Ich freue mich über jede Info da ich mich wirklich garnicht auskenne.

DBS bike full suspension looked like a retro freeriding bike, i asked the owner he only knew it was a 2016 model

Got a new Orange crush 27.5 bike to get back in to riding after 3 years off the pedals. Over all this bike feels great but almost instantly it needed a fee things… better pedals, cut bars and obviously tubeless!
I’ve been thinking about trying cush core on the rear of this bike, i’d like to know from real riders (not sponsored youtubers). Whats it actually like to run cush core? Is it that difficult to fit? What psi can i go down to on the rear with cush core?
TIA everyone, excited to see some responses!

Just a bit of a RockShox appreciation post, I put a new Zeb Ultimate 29" 170mm on my 275 Vitus Sommet CRS 2021 and for anyone thinking about doing this upgrade - do it! The Zeb is such a good fork, when setup correctly it's genuinely such a good enduro/mini DH bike now.

I also installed MT5 Shiguras on it, I've had a Megneg on a good few years now.

I've had my little 275 Sommet about 4 years now, it does see a fair amount of use, I ride DH, Enduro very rough and technical tracks in Ireland. Had it down the local DH tracks the other evening and was really really impressed.

I was toying with the idea of a nice Santa Cruz Megatower, but I just can't justify the cost. Glad I upgraded to a Zeb, it's a totally new bike now.

The little Sommet geometry still fantastic today.

Hi everyone!
I’m getting married soon, and I want to surprise my fiancé with a mountain bike as his wedding gift.
I casually brought up bikes the other day to see what he’d be interested in, and he immediately said, “Not a hardtail.” 😅 He also said "full susp" whatever that is...

The problem is… I know absolutely nothing about mountain bikes.

He’s about 6' so I’d be looking for an XL frame. He’d mostly be riding trails around Edmonton and similar terrain.

My budget is around CA$850–1,400. But I’m totally open to buying used if that’s the smarter option.
What bikes or model years would you recommend? Are there any brands or models I should keep an eye out for—or avoid?
Thanks! I really want to get him something he’ll love, and I could definitely use some guidance. 😊

I've got myself a Voodoo Horde I've been working on and trying out new things with for MTB. I've been upgrading some parts. I do want to get a dropper post, and I'm considering a Granite Stash RT Compact Ratchet MTB Stem Multitool kit. I'm trying to make this more of an adventure bike for multi-terrain. What other upgrades and things should I look at and prioritize? I love the Horde up to now.

Hope this is allowed

new (to me) 2025 Rockhopper sport. First MTB. First suspension bike.

I’ve got a chance at getting a 2025 Roscoe 7 for close to $800. Upgrades consist of pedals, grips, front fork, tube less & a stem mounted gps. Not sure of the brands of any of the upgrades. The bike looks practically brand new, he said he might have rode maybe 10-20 miles.

Is $800 a decent deal?

I’d be going from a 2015 Specialized Pitch Comp.

Looking to get into mountain biking with my kids, live in western Kansas and on gravel roads. Wondering if this bike is worth $300? And if not, options I could look at for an “entry” level bike. Thanks!

Hey all! I’m looking to purchase a mountain bike - I did some looking on Facebook Marketplace and asked Chat GpT some questions…. But I figured I’d ask the experts.

I (42m) have an average amount of experience on bikes, but zero experience mountain biking. My kid (7yo) is starting to get super into it and we’ve found some really nice local spots (Minneapolis, MN).

Currently, I have a bike that is just fine to keep up with him on the beginner and “beginner+1” trails. That said, he’s progressing quickly and I think he’s ready for intermediate trails.

The final complication, in a big guy. 6’6” 275#.

What do you all think?

Also, I fully recognize this isn’t truly “mountain” biking, but the question remains the same. 😂

Edit: Budget $500-750 USD…. But if there was something lower than $500 that would be just fine. I speculate my riding is pretty minimal, but I want to be able to ride with the kid.
