Heya!
I'm trying to choose between a few bikes, but unsure if I should put in a little bit more. Sadly the sites are in Norwegian, but I added the main bike sites. Not sure if the parts will be 1:1, so probably best to use chrome and translate Norwegian sites.
I'll post 3 bikes in different price tiers, even though I have a list of 15 stored. Missed main sale, so best deals are gone.
Being able to upgrade down the road is a bonus, but not necessary. Though I'd enjoy the process of taking an entry bike further to learn in the process on how to maintain, upgrade etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
What will I be riding
- Light trails, XC, pavement & commuting
- Pavement, gravel, forest / trails. Lots of long steep uphill climbs & flats.
- 10000 NOK / 914 USD
- I sent my last bike to the tip after an accident 4 years ago. It was a death machine, lol.
- Biked since I was a kid (37 now), but no real trail / MTB experience.
