Hi all. I'm thinking of getting a Mountain Bike. I'm a beginner of course. Can ride a bike but that's mostly what I know about bikes. Asking in other forums proved to be futile as they are kind of snobbish and think my RM1,500 is enough only to buy a kid's bicycle. I believe everyone have their own budget and not that I can't afford but it's pointless to spent RM5,000+ on a hobby which I am new at.
So can I get a recommendation of what MTB to get with my budget? On my list are a few I will list below based on the material of the frame which I think is passable and components used in the assembly. I hope some of you can advise me based on your experience of owning these bikes or has friends that used them.
Raleigh Elite pro-I like the shape of the frame and components are not too cheapo.
Rock Machine Thunder 70-US brand but made in China. Any idea about this brand? Not popular though.
XDS zer0 38-Recommended by an online bike shop.
Polygon-Recommended by a friend of mine(within my budget)
Corratec-Went to a shop and the sales rep recommended me that. Over my budget. Cheapest also RM2,200.
Thank you
