Frim rover is opened for MTB ?

Mtb was banned from this trail many years ago thanks to some idiots rode recklessly and speeding on this trail.

This used to be my warm up trail before I hit other trails in frim.

The hill a small one only. For a weak legs old fag and noob like me is ok, lesser challenging. Just nice for me to accustom and build confidence while down hill as starters.

I'm looking for a full suspension MTB, with budget of around Rm5k-6k.

Looking for members suggestion between these 2 options:

Merida 99 CF
or
Alcott Denon

The Merida is 29" while the Alcott is 27.5"
The Merida is available on discount as it is an old model already while the Alcott is quite new, but not much info/review

Mainly for santai ride near my place in Kemensah/Melawati during the weekend and also for ride on gravel track at my kampung in Sekinchan maybe once a month
*
Not sure about Alcott but Merida is a more established brand. I trust Merida frame design more.

Yes, AM/Enduro. It's an aggressive hardtail with a slack headtube angle.

Looks decently specced, I think best for you to wait it out for abit. I got an insider info that they will be rolling out the 2021 version soon.

Polygon is good value for money. Great choice as entry level or first full sus bike.

Marin is also a good value for money choice. Hawk Hill is 120mm travel though. It's a trail bike that's good for climbing, and just ok to do some steep and technical stuff. You can bring it to places like Kiara and have a lot of fun, but some parts may be a bit scary on the bike.   

If you want to do more of the technical/hardcore stuff, the polygon siskiu T7 is a better choice at 140mm/150mm travel. Of course you lose out on the climbing and flats.

Thanks for the insight bro.

Seems like price is up already lol.1-2 months ago is like RM6299.

Anyway. T8 is using Fox sus + 4 piston brakes + SLX gear (this not matter to me). I wonder is worth the top up or not.
*
D7 or T7

Hmmmmm....

D7 has slightly better components.
Lighter by 1kg
Shorter travel
D7 is about rm2000 cheaper.

Trail Vs enduro

Cannot decide

I believe the rm6299 was the previous.

lol no, how do you come to conclusion D7 has better components?

D7 has 11 speed 5100 Deore, not 12 speed 6100. (means the cassette highest sprocket is 11t not 10t)
D7 has M200 budget brake.
*
That's true.... I overlooked some parts.
Was briefly looking at the pic. D7 got a deore crank and t7 using 510 crank. Didn't check out other parts.
