Hi guys, I am planning to get a bike with a budget or 1k~1.5k+/-
Currently I saw a few bikes which is within my budget:
Raleigh Enduro Pro
Jamis Trail X3
I will use this bike mostly for on road. If its able to go off-road then it would be much preferred. I also consider road bike recommendation.
Hope all the sifus in this thread are able to guide me in my purchase. I am currently residing in Kepong. So if you have any recommended shop within KL I would take consideration as well.
Thanks

Well at least buying from local bike shops is always better than those online shops. BTW is it near Sri sinar KFC? I am not really familiar with that area since i rarely pass by there. Anyway, looking forward to cycle with you guys once i made my purchase. But go easy on me, newbie here  |

QUOTE(dickybird @ Apr 25 2012, 11:21 PM) it is the row of shops hidden but facing the kfc. Hi, I just been to the area you mentioned but what I saw is Kim Mun Bicycle Shop. Well if thats the shop is the one you mentioned, the boss is very friendly and gave a bunch of recommendation to me. He recommended: Exitway SAM MATTS LITE 1.3k XDS (Not sure which model, comes with Shimano atlus group) 900 & Polygon Cozmic CX1.0 1.45k Any additional recommendation sifus? |

QUOTE(Sense711 @ Apr 27 2012, 02:01 PM) Exitway, XDS and Polygon no good. Buy Giant, Trek, Specialized, Santa Cruz, Yeti or Scott. Yeah I know the one you recommended is good but my budget is between 1k to 1.5k. Then maybe on my next upgrade i will go for the higher ends |

QUOTE(Broadica @ Apr 27 2012, 03:26 PM) Forgotten06, it is true that all the advice here really do make sense in real world off road mountain biking. a proper mountain bike make a huge different in off road especially safety wise and ability to enjoy. otherwise most likely you gonna hate mountain biking or have yourself injured doing endo with cheapo bike. do remember that you are posting in mountain biking (the activity) thread here and not just a thread about mountain bike. i realize a lot are asking about budget mountain bike for cycling and not mountain biking. if you are not serious into mountain biking... and just looking cycle with a mountain bike.. then 1-2k, any bike will do.. just choose the look and color u like.. it makes no different on road much. in fact one can go rigid for weight savings or better buy a road bike. otherwise if serious about doing mountain biking... save up more and spend for a proper entry bike. Alright, thanks for all the advice, i guess i need to save up more abit, about what pricepoint of MTB are considered entry level? |
