The market for mountain bike brands is filled with hundreds of brands each competing for consumers' interest but only a few are capable of performing on the terrain. Thus, the consumer should be aware of the quality of the bike they are purchasing.
You have several frame materials as your choice as well as other options that determine the type of bike that's right for you such as the type of terrain you will be riding your bike in and whether you want to perform stunts.
Pricing is another important factor in your choice of a mountain bike. The price ranges from $500 for a low end bike to over $10,000 for a high end one. There are good bikes in between those prices and brands account for pricing as well.
You'll need a light frame for speed and a strong one for stunts. The above factors should be considered when evaluating your choices of bikes.
Mountain biking is a wonderful sport but unfortunately there is the danger of getting hurt so you'll need the right gear. Having proper clothes and helmet will protect you from a fall as well as severe weather conditions.
Some people skimp on the gear and assume they can get any kind of cheap gear. But choosing the proper gear is as important as choosing the bike. After all you do not want to come back from your trip all bruised up from minor falls.
As a rider you will have four major categories from which to choose your bikes mainly freeride, all mountain, cross country, and downhill. In every category the bikes are related in design and you'll have other options in these categories as well.
Most riders will stick to the all mountain bike group since these bikes can do everything you want in a bike. Freeride bikes are designed for rough landscapes, cross country bikes are designed with speed in mind while a downhill bike is heavy and is designed for going downhill.
Choose the category that best fits your needs. If you are new to biking and won't be doing much riding then an all mountain may be right for you. Use your judgment to choose the best bike for your needs.
