I have found the following new bikes that fit my budget:
Trek Marlin 5 $490
Giant ATX2 $460
Specialized Pitch 27.5 $475
I also see that a local bike shop has a used 2017 Marin Bolinas Ridge 2 M27.5 for $499.
Do you all have any suggestions on which I should get? I currently am looking to ride on non-technical trails that are of the easy to medium difficulty. I can't do any large uphills at this time.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Mike R.
I bet you'd get more feedback if you post this in the Mountain Biking forum. Or, start a new thread here in Fifty Plus.
I can't offer any advice since I last bought something resembling a MTB in 1985, and that was more of a city bike, by Jamis.
And welcome to BF!
