I bought this hard tail for about 400$ discounted from like 550-600$ a couple years ago, but haven’t used it much since life is busy. Finally have some time to get into mountain biking, but I’m not sure if I should just sell this one and get a better bike that serves me well, or if this is good enough. The bike feels good, actually not too heavy. A tad bit lighter than my brothers back suspension bike which is like 3000$ which is expected due to it’s smaller size. But again I don’t know if the frame on this is even that good/how much abuse it can take. Maybe some experts know this frame and it’s quality? I was also thinking maybe I can upgrade some parts, like getting a bigger air suspension or something. Can you upgrade to thicker more robust axels without changing the wheel? Or do I absolutely have to get a different rim/wheel? Is it even worth upgrading? At that point getting a better bike might just be more worth it, since upgrading alone might cost alot.
