I am a beginning mountain biking enthusiast, looking to purchase my first mountain bike. I would like to ask all of you experienced riders and bike experts which mountain bike to buy. From all of my friends who are riders, the things I know I want are:
Disc braking (front & rear)
Full suspension (Will be doing a lot of downhill, and the rear suspension is just a back saver.
The first bike I found that a friend suggested was the K2 Sidewinder. So that's one option. Some stats on me: I'm 6'1 280lbs. Big-framed, will need a sturdy bike.
My budget is $500. I would go as high as $600 for the perfect bike. I plan to add better components down the road if it's something I stick with and really enjoy.
Thanks for your help and suggestions!
