It's been a while since I went Kiara. Seriously, 2K has lost it's uniqueness now with the flatten roots. Those minature drops are fun though. Saw Rad there today.

Which trail did you go to? I think they are cleaning some of the trails...and repairing trails such as 2K....
Even better they ve put up signage to inform riders to not cut the roots...hopefully everyone will understand cutting it is more detrimental to the trail ...

I think now the trail is not as tough as before ...some of it are more level now ...hopefully you enjoy the trail...and also help support conserve it too ...

Me also not too sure which trail exactly.
The first is approx 500m to the left after the main entrance at Changkat Haji Openg. It ascend palarel to the tar road n we exit near the gazeboo. Well, some of the part is too steep up that I even not sure if it is possible to ride. Could it be for descending instead.

He next track is next to the gazeboo. It is more rideable but also endo many times.
Some places even can get off the bike nor site up n paddle. End up just walk w bike in between the legs doh.gif

I think you went to Upper Carnival/Bunian and maybe Office ...Thats really a small part of Kiara ...you should at least try 2K...but its best to go with someone who is familiar with the place.

If you have ride there before they made the miniature drops you ll fell the trail even flatter (less interesting) but you can see they re trying to fix that up ...

Another damage on the trail that I notice is the rocks coming down from Office to Bike Wash...I think some rocks became loose and people intentionally or unintentionally threw it away....I think when you do that it ll make it more scarier cause the gaps can cause your wheel to get stuck ...

2K front part has few drops. Beginner might find hard to roll.

Your question is to vague.

Is like asking Proton and Perodua. Which one you should choose.

Read Review through Google bro. I believe there is a lots of information for you.

Please spare around 2k & above for a nice entry level bike.

For bikes below 2k. Just choose the colour you like. They are no different.
