Any advice on which bike provides the best value?
My local trails are very steep and have lots of rocks and roots. I was about to pull the trigger on the Jeffsy, but after doing some reading got worried about the NX drive train. The 27.5 inch wheels on the Jeffsy are also a minor concern, but I don’t mind the trade off and I am currently using 26 inch wheels, so its an upgrade regardless.
I am also reactively new to MTB and expect at some point I will crash the bike, so I’m looking for something durable.
