Mountain Bike Buying Tips


Buying a mountain bike can be exasperating and traumatic experience. This guide will help you in purchase decision.

Decide your Price

There is virtually no limit to how much money you can spend on a new mountain bikes. There is wide range from $600 to $800. The only difference is the components they are made of. The more expensive, the more durable your bike will be.

Find a Good Dealer

Finding a good dealer can be more important than getting a good price. Visit as many different bike stores as you can. Each one carries a different selection of makes and models. The quality of the store is also important. The store you buy your bike from is responsible for assembling it. Find a dealer that cares more about selling you the right bike than selling you the more expensive one.

What kind of Bike you need?

First, give some thought to what kind of riding you want to do, your level of experience, and your overall approach to cycling. Why do you want to ride? For fitness? Just for fun? Casually, or seriously? Where do you want to ride? Street, bike trail or off-road? How frequently do you plan to ride? The more you know what you want, the easier it will be to work with your local bike store to select a bicycle which will best suit your needs.

Size of Bike

The size of the bicycle is critical for comfortable riding. Work with your retailer to determine the proper size for you. Some bicycle models have eight or more sizes. The length of your inseam determines the correct frame size, in terms of stand-over height. The reach to the bars is also critical for comfort. Ask your bicycle dealer to recommend a proper fit for you based on the kind of riding you'll be doing. What's comfortable for one style of rider may not be for another. Like a shirt, fit is very important for comfort and security.

Do Some Research – Read Some Product Reviews

Product reviews are a great way to find out about a mountain bikes performance and reliability. Look your bike up before you buy it and make sure there isn’t anything someone else discovered that you might not like.
