Perhaps the number one question we get on social media, via email, and on the Singletracks forums is this one: Which bike should I buy? Choosing a new mountain bike is a big decision, so we’ve dedicated this entire episode to sharing our personal recommendations for mountain bikes in the following categories: * Hardtail * XC Race * Trail 27.5 * Trail 29er * Enduro * DH * Bikes above $4,000 * Bikes under $1,500 For the first six categories, we each choose bikes that retail for less than $4,000 (and in some cases, much less.) We also provide our recommendations for ultra-expensive bikes and budget bikes in the final two categories. ★ If you’re enjoying the Singletracks podcast, please leave a quick review on iTunes.
