These Are the Mountain Bikes You Should Buy [Podcast #133]

Listen as the Singletracks staff provides personal mountain bike recommendations in 8 categories, including hardtail, XC, trail, enduro, and DH.

On this Episode

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.
