hey guys.. so when deciding what to buy, i would love to compare a side by side with people who own multiple bikes and would compare what they like about, dislike about. .and what they primarily use for.. 

for example      the juice bike is more fun for commuiting, but the specialized feels more comfortable when peding   etc.. (this is just a made up example btw)...  

exception-- if you ride a bike a decent amount, you can also post your comparison as well!

this could be really helpful to me and many others as well

 It literally flies. At assist level 3 it devours any incline. It can easily cruise at 20-25 miles an hour in town traffic. I normally stay in off or level 1 and sometimes 2

 It will do 20 miles an hour on level ground using the throttle control only and no pedaling…nice.  Here is the lowdown on the kit and what you need to add this to your Catrike Order this 1000W Bafang Kit with the 48V/17AH, 46T chainwheel, headlight, and 850C computer console. Do not go with a smaller chainwheel as this motor has way too much power and you do not need the extra gearing. Then contact them and ask them to add in:  a speed sensor extension cable (so that it will reach the wheel)  two brake lever sensors (so you can retain your Avid levers which has the brake locks)  the gear sensor (so that it knows to cut power when you shift)  the installation wrench to install the crankset-motor  Other parts you will need from other vendors (do a web search):  Catrike Battery Mount so you can attach battery to your frame  Bafang Console and Throttle mount to mount the 850C computer console and thumb throttle (no where else to mount them so you need this)  UTcustom torque arm (this is optional but the motor produces so much torque, it’s better to be safe, then sorry)  2 each 6mm x 45mm x 10mm socket head bolts with washers (to replace the QR levers on the Catrike if you have them

 I wanted my daughter to ride with me so I purchased a stock Catrike Villager with the intent of adding a motor to it. After much online research, I opted to buy this kit. Installation took 3 days as I took my time but everything was really basic. End result: Add a 1000 watt motor to a lightweight Catrike and this tadpole is a monster

Bafang Install on Catrike Villager

 Oh, battery charger they give you is very basic, add another one that stops at an 80% charge for better battery life.  Overall, what I paid for this was very overpriced. With much work, the kit works well, but I did have to buy a good amount of extra pieces. I don't think this should be required for a $1300+ kit

 Again, no mention of this in the non-existent instructions. Plan on spending several hundred dollars extra on parts not included and $500 for a better battery. Oh, battery charger they give you is very basic, add another one that stops at an 80% charge for better battery life.  Overall, what I paid for this was very overpriced

So you are buying a bundle of parts put together by the seller. So the question is, did you get all the parts you need and are they of good quality? First, no instructions were included, they did give you some QR codes so you can watch third-party installation videos. This is not a great solution as some of the videos are not great.  As for parts, most were fine quality, but nothing special

Far from Excellent

 Also, having gone down from a 52 V eight amp hour battery to a 48 V 13 amp hour battery the computer and display screen thing has settings to alternate voltage I have set the settings for the voltage back down to 48 V but the system seems to think it’s still at 52 which drains my battery more than it should. I have reset it multiple times and even forced shut down the system but I cannot seem to get it to realize that it is 48 V I hope that this can be resolved soon. The computer I chose to get was the 500c display.

Awesome motor, but Issues after only three months

If you can get these specs on a bike you’ll be solid for a long time. Any cheaper and you might be unhappy, particularly with the fork. Cheaper rockshox forks work just fine but don’t have a standard chassis and just aren’t built as well. 

Edit: I don’t know where you’re located, but at this budget one of these would be nice: [URL REMOVED] and other mail order brands have nice cheap hardtails as well. I’m not sure if you have a preference for Jamis, but they’re not as big of a brand currently in MTB.

Sorry in advance for the long question.

I’m looking to fill a gap in my bike stable.  I'm primarily a road biker, and I have a very nice road bike that I’m very happy with and am very protective of.  I also have a Frankenstein’s monster of a bike that I use for commuting.  Finally I have an older hybrid that I used to use for more casual rides with the girlfriend, or when the weather/road conditions are too gross for my roadie.  However, that bike has found a nice home on my indoor trainer, and I’d like to keep it clean and set up inside rather than having to do a deep clean every time I use it outside, and that’s the gap I’m looking to fill.  Naturally, my first thought is a gravel bike, but that feels like it overlaps a bit too much with the road bike and this seems like a good opportunity to perhaps enable some off road riding.

I don’t know anything about mountain bikes and my head has been swirling with all these new categories and components and standards that are involved.  I think I’ve narrowed it down to a hardtail XC or trail bike.  I’d like to make sure to buy enough bike to not immediately outgrow it if I do get more into mountain biking, but I also don’t want to buy way too much bike.  I’d love some advice about what components are actually important.

Purpose:
Road rides in the cold and wet and sloppy; casual rides on road and gravel/fire roads/rail trails; off road trails, probably more flow style than anything, I don’t really seem myself taking any huge jumps.  I’m not too concerned about using flat bars for all this, I’ve used them for years and I have a road bike if I really need to go super fast.

Budget:
I’m willing to spend what it takes to get something quality that I won’t grow out of immediately.  I’d ideally spend ~$1200-$1300 but am able to go up to $2000 if it comes with a significant increase in quality.

Questions:
What components are actually worth extra money, and what level should I be tarteting?

Fork: 
I know I should be aiming for air suspension, but am confused about other aspects.

30mm stanchions or more?  I see a lot of bikes at this level come with Rockshox Judy level, would it be better to target something beefier like the 35?

100mm/120mm/140mm/more?  100mm seems to be the XC bike standard, but I feel like that would be more limiting if I ever aim for more technical trails.  Is this something I should worry about?

Wheels:

27.5 vs 29?  Since I am looking to ride more road/gravel/flow type routes, it seems like a 29er is the obvious choice.  Is this right?  Am I limiting my search too much by not looking at 27.5” bikes?

QR/Thru Axle/Boost?  I see that a number of bikes in my price range come with quick release axles but I also see recommendations online to go with thru axles with boost spacing for better strength and to keep my options open for future upgrades.  Is this actually important?  Should I be spending up to make sure to avoid QR?

Geometry:
It seems like head tube angle has a big effect on ride feel.  Is there a sweet spot I should be looking for?  Is 68ish on an XC bike too limiting for trail?  Is 65ish on a trail bike too slack for the road?

Drive train:
So far it looks like bikes in my price range come with SX Eagle or Deore level, but I’m seeing 1x10 all the way up to 1x12.  It seems like the 1x12 is the most modern and obviously provides a bigger range, but would I really be too unhappy if I end up with 1x11 Deore?  Would it limit me too much for future upgrades?  Should I be looking to make the jump to XT or GX?

Options:
I know this is going to be entirely dependent on what I can actually get, but here are a few models that are jumping out at me.

Polygon Xtrada 7 - seems to have basically everything I need at a very attractive price.  Fork seems like it might be a bit mediocre, is 120mm travel too little?  Also doesn’t seem to be available any time soon.

https://www.polygonbikes.com/product/mountain/xtrada-7-3/

Jamis Highpoint A1 - like the polygon, has a meh fork, but almost everything else at an attractive price.  1x11 Deore seems more limiting than 1x12.

https://www.jamisbikes.com/usa/highpointa1.html

Jamis Komodo - big price jump, but has a much nicer fork with longer travel and an included dropper post.  Is something like this worth the 60% increase in price?

https://www.jamisbikes.com/usa/komodo29.html

Anything else that I should have high on my list?

Again, sorry for the word explosion.  I would really appreciate any help I can get.

What's actually important in a new mountain bike?

Shimano Deore 11-speed drivetrain. No sense in going to 12 speeds, the new 11-speed has 11-51tooth cassette. Get a Shimano Deore XT shifter for the multi-shift capability and instant release.

Also, 203mm rotors and 4-piston hydraulic brakes are nice. Shimano Deore is a great budget-friendly option that doesn't sacrifice performance. I find them to work beautifully on even the gnarliest of downhill trails.

It is going to be 70% trail and 30% enduro. Any suggestions on any specific parts I should include?

I am building a bike this winter.

i have a bomber z2 which has been fantastic. little more stiction then some of the higher quality models but half the price and provides great feel/traction and suppleness.

I’m pretty new to MTB and I got my marlin 6 a little over a month ago. I’ve put pedals and a short stem on it and am loving it but I think it’s time to upgrade to an air fork. Does anyone have recommendations of worthy upgrades that will fit my bike?

Fork upgrade for my 2022 trek marlin 6

Wasn't bad and did the job for learning. But extremely heavy due to the coil damper and didn't have any of the supposed plushness of high end coil forks. (Although it did have a yellow warning sticker on it!)

<div class="md">XCE, XCT, XCR, XCM?
</div>

Peoples Opinions on the budget SR Suntour forks

I'm thinking the Bomber Z2 would be a good option, but would be open to spending a little more and getting something like a Pike Select or Fox 34 Performance. Is there a substantial difference in ride quality between these? Or is there a better fork that I'm not considering?

Have it on my Vitus hardtail and having come from bikes with suntour/ cheaper end, stiff coil forks. This is a night and day difference in terms of providing confidence on the trail and easy adjustability. It's really brilliant at handling big hits off jumps/drop offs and encourages some fairly wild riding! 

It's clearly designed for simplicity/ease of use and has a nice virtual lockout via the sweep RAIL damper for climbs and adjustable low speed rebound.
