r/MTB

Trek Roscoe. About the same pricing and same components as the grand canyon. Just got one for my wife yesterday who Started mountain biking.

Roadie here looking to get into MTB after already getting into gravel.  

Sorry, I know questions like this have been posted before. But just looking for any new input since most of the posts I found in search refer to 2021 or earlier Model Years and it seems like new tech/bikes/builds come out practically weekly.

Looking to spend not more than $1500 or so. Riding around where I live is probably split between "Trail"/"XC".  Probably a more "trail", but gotta climb everywhere.  Ideally also looking for a bike that I won't be itching to spend money to upgrade components. (I know nobody "needs" to buy upgrades, but come on... we know what we are...)

The [Grand Canyon 7](https://www.canyon.com/en-us/mountain-bikes/trail-bikes/grand-canyon/grand-canyon-7/2617.html?dwvar_2617_pv_rahmenfarbe=BU%2FBK#all-components-section-tab) comes in around $1300. SRAM SX, Dropper Post, Judy Silver Air Fork. Not sure how Canyon works, but on the Canada site the also list a [Grand Canyon 8](https://www.canyon.com/en-ca/mountain-bikes/trail-bikes/grand-canyon/grand-canyon-8/2619.html?dwvar_2619_pv_rahmenfarbe=GY%2FRD#all-components-section-tab) which I don't see listed on the US site.   Looks like the upgrades from the 7 are SRAM SX to Shimano Deore 12, and the Judy fork to a Fox 34 Rhythm.  Price converted to USD is just over $1500. That would actually probably be perfect for what I want. From what I've read SX and the Judy fork are "okay", whereas Deore and the Fox would be a definite step up. But, I don't know if I can actually buy it.  Canyon Canada also gets a [Stotic 3](https://www.canyon.com/en-ca/mountain-bikes/trail-bikes/stoic/stoic-3/2660.html?dwvar_2660_pv_rahmenfarbe=GY#all-components-section-tab) at about $1400 (converted to USD), wheres the US site only lists a Stoic 2 ($1200 but 10sp &amp; no Dropper post), or a Stoic 4 ($2000= more than I want to spend).

The other option I see around is the [Polygon Xtrada 7](https://www.polygonbikes.com/product/mountain/xtrada-7-4/). Their US dealer BikesOnline has it around $1k. Comes with Deore 12 and thru-axles. But the fork, Suntour XCR32 Air, (from what I've seen online) seems to be a bit of a let down. Though not sure if it would feel like that to me, who's used to rigid road bike.  Also it isn't  15x110 spacing like the Canyons.  So any Fork upgrade I assume also means you need new wheel/hub as well. The Xtrada also has 27.2 seatpost and doesn't come with a Dropper. So, $1000 upfront, but get a Dropper (what are they like $150 give or take?) and it inches closer to the Grand Canyon7 in price while not having as nice a fork (but does have Deore 12). Not sure what a fork upgrade would cost/if there are any Forks worth upgrading to that would have the same 15x100 spacing.  

As an aside, what does it take to upgrade from something like a Deore 10/11sp to 12?  Just cassette and adjust the Deraileur?  Or do you need new hubs, Deraileurs, shifters, etc?

Anyway, apologies for the wall-o-text.  A bit bored at work here on Friday and maybe I got a bit carried away hahah. Thanks in advance for any input!

Edit: Canyon basically said &quot;That&#39;s rough buddy&quot;. No potential option to buy the Stoic 3 or GC8, unless I meet a friendly Canadian who be my bicycling smuggling mule.

Edit: Have been convinced to stay away from SRAM SX. Have ordered the Xtrada7.

Is there a better "budget" MTB out there than the Grand Canyon 7 that is available in the US?

Just got the bike a couple days ago and today (July/9/2022) I went to Culham Trails in Mississauga and had a blast. 

I would buy the bike again

 My only complaint of the 2021 Roscoe 8 was that the front was a little heavy. Other than that, great bike! I think the 2022 model will be even better. 9/10 would recommend.

 I have taken this thing to downhill parks and 25 ft+ jumps. Really sturdy bike. My only complaint of the 2021 Roscoe 8 was that the front was a little heavy. Other than that, great bike! I think the 2022 model will be even better

Roscoe is an extremely good bike

The Surly Midnight Special has the best frame quality among the steel bikes you listed and the Checkpoint is by far the best aluminum bike on your list and in it's category. I think both are a little over the top for a first bike, personally, but if you want to buy once and be done they are worth the money.


I will mostly be riding on mostly paved trails and maybe commuting as I’m located in the Dallas TX area, but would like a bike that has the capability of going on gravel roads, dirt trails, and bikepacking in the future. I’m not looking for fastest bike - especially considering most of the trails we’ll be riding on are shared with pedestrians - it’s mostly for fitness and the fact that my wife loves to bike. I’ve watched some of the Path Less Pedaled videos on YouTube and it’s definitely that type of ride vibe I’m looking for. 

I am looking for a high-quality, low maintenance, easy-to-maintain and repair bike. I’d like this bike to last me long-term and be extremely versatile.

Im not sure if this affects anything, but I’m a bit of a “Clydesdale” at 6’2”, 220lbs, and a 33” inseam. Not sure if that would affect any recommendation (tire size, better frame geometry, etc.)

Some options I’ve considered are as follows:
Trek FX 1 Disc - $680
Poseidon X - $750
State 4130 All-Road - $900
Poseidon Redwood - $950
State 6061 Black Label - $1400
Salsa Journeyer Sora - $1500
Salsa Journeyer Apex 1 - $1800
Canyon Grizl 6 - $1900
Priority Apollo Gravel - $2000
State 4130 All-Road XPLR AXS - $2000
Canyon Grizl 7 1by - $2200
Canyon Grail 7 - $2200
Surly Midnight Special - $2300
REI CO-OP ADV 2.3 - $2400
Salsa Journeyer GRX 600 700c - $2400
Trek Checkpoint ALR 5 -$2500
Priority 600 - $2500

To be honest, I don’t know a ton about bikes and just want to hit the easy button. The Poseidon Redwood stands out to me due to overall features and price point, and the Priority options (Apollo and 600) stand out due to their belt drive and internally geared hubs.

Thanks for taking a look and any advice you can offer!

Forever/Jack-of-all-Trades Bike? Help my Analysis Paralysis!

Otherwise, the Surley does that and everything else. Shit, I did some cross country riding on it a few weekends ago. Back to that geometry thing, I appreciate it because it rides just like I expect a road bike to ride, but the frame is ripe for customizing it to be anything you want. It's important to me because I bought it to do everything my carbon road bike can't, only to enjoy it more on what I would normally use my road bike for in the first place

I’m looking to downsize the amount of bikes I have and I’m looking for a kind of do-it-all road bike

Mostly I’ll be using it for commuting 2 miles, some urban riding, hauling groceries and a trailer with a kid. But I also want to be able to take it out for a long 30-50 mile ride comfortably. 

I want something with disc brakes and mounts for racks and fenders. Every LBS just suggests a gravel bike, but I really don’t need 42mm tires, that’s overkill. I’m also worried about a 1x set up. Plus the “gravel” trails near me are fine on skinny tires

What kind of bike would be best? I’m really struggling with this. Thanks!

Need helping finding the right style of bike

I tested a surly midnight special for similar purposes, and was stunned. The thing is quite heavy (not important if not hilly), rides fast and nimble, but has fat tires that (together with the steel frame) suck up everything. Cobblestones which have the assumed purpose of slowing down bicycles (in Antwerp) felt like hardpacked gravel feels on my road bike (i.e

Currently I ride a (\~7yo) cross-hybrid bike from Bulls. It has decent parts and does the job. I have been looking at eBikes, but came to the conclusion that my current bike is faster. Going over the 25km/h limit (Europe) with an eBike is much more difficult then with my current bike. My cruising speed on this bike is around 20-25km/h, but if I push I easily get to 30km/h and if I really push I manage to get to 40km/h (on flat tarmac).

I'm using it mostly for commuting a short distance (6km / 3,75 miles one way) and occasionally doing larger trips (20-25km / 12-16 miles one way) during weekends. We have an Urban Arrow family cargo bike which my wife uses on those trips and I'm following on my own bike. I would like to start using the bike for larger distances as well (instead of the car), but the cross-hybrid bike is not comfortable enough for me to do that. It also takes too much time.

I chose the cross-hybrid because regular city bikes tend to break easily with my driving style. I don't really go off-road, but it's not tarmac all the way. If you go fast on things like a cobblestone road a regular bike won't hold up for long.

Anyway, I'm looking for a new bike with the following requirements:

* Should be able to hold up on all types of non-offroad roads/speed bumps etc.
* As fast as possible
* Somewhat comfortable to ride for longer rides
* Not too much maintenance, I don't have much time to do it myself

Since I'm also using it for commuting I also bring along a backpack. Having a sweaty back when arriving at work is annoying, but I can't seem to mount the backpack (Peak Design 30l everyday backpack) to my bike now since it is too big/heavy. So keeping it on my back is still an option. 

I'm thinking about getting a gravelbike (like the Koga Colmaro Allroad) since they are really fast and should not knock me of my bike when it rains or there is a speedbump in the road. I could use it for long distance trips as well I believe. Am I correct their, or would you rather suggest a hybrid-race bike or tour bike for example (ignoring budget for now)?

I'm not looking for advice on a specific bike, just the type of bike. Thanks!
