So, heres my ordeal. I am looking for a good, reliable, tough, lightweight bike. I’m looking between 3 in particular (all are the cheapest i could find due to very limited budget). Btw, yes, i need dual suspension. so:
Bike 1: Im leaning more toward this one because its 300$ cheaper than the others
the Kona Tanuki 2011

Bike 2:
The trek fuel EX5

Bike3:
The Specialized Camber comp.

I would like to know what one is the best for pretty heavy trail riding (uphill and down), which means reliability, above all else. Im not going to be doing 10ft jumps. More like 3-4ft jumps.
Thanks for any advice!

I am looking for a good mountain bike for my boyfriend who is really hard on bikes and wants a mountain bike that can withstand going on actual mountain bike trails and has dual or full suspension. I know 0 and under is pretty hard but figured Id see what evryone says anyway.

So I went to the store a couple days ago and saw these two bikes, I liked em both, but need help choosing one…………Next or Mongoose?
Next bike has: Dual suspension rugged steel frame, front and rear v brakes, quick release seat/alloy rims, a full sespension frame and 18 speeds with switch shifting
Mongoose bike has: full suspension aluminum main frame and suspension fork maximizes comfort and performance, 21 speed Shimano rear Derailluer with SHRAM grip shifts for precise shifting, front disc brake provides all condition stopping power and alloy rims that are light weight and durable.
I already own a Surly 1×1 that weighs less than 26 pounds so getting a heavy bike isn’t even a problem, its just to keep in the garage for a visitor that likes biking

I currently own a full suspension mountain bike. It’s excellent on rough terrain, but when I try making trick I can’t lift it enough or i fall. For example, I tried to make an endo, but the bike or doesn’t lift enough or it lifts to much. It could be my fault, but tell me if it is a popper bike for this task.

ive been biking for a while now on my Trek 4300. i love that bike but i need much more suspension. i was think of more of a cross country mountain bike with more that 100mm in the fork. i also would like a full suspension and it would be best if it was under 00. thanks in advance.

I am looking to buy a bicycle, i am a kid, 17 years old, who has gained a little bit of excess poundage. I just want a bike, that I can use comfortably to do low impact cardiovascular training, I would look to just go for 30 minute rides every day around my area. What do i need for this? Full suspension, front suspension, I have NO idea… and also, I am looking to get one, with at least dual disc brakes, for approximately £150. I am 5ft 11, so im assuming an adult bike, like 26" would suffice? Please provide LOTS of detail!! Thank you!

Right now I’m using a hardtail to go down my local mountain bike park, which is thrashing my bike and every time I get home I have a flat tire, most of the times on the rear. I was thinking a good full suspension mountain bike could fix this. I saw a few review for this bike (http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-ALUMINUM-DUAL-FULL-SUSPENSION-MOUNTAIN-BIKE-SHIMANO-/370427357247?pt=Mountain_Bikes&hash=item563f30e83f) and most people on other sites said it was a good deal. Now I won’t be entering any competitions yet, but I am starting to get more serious on my bike, would that be a good deal?

I want to buy a decent full suspension mountain bike for rough terrain. Should I buy one with rear air shock or rear coil shock absortion? Is there any way that I can replace a rear coil shock with an air shock?
