I apologize in advance if this is the wrong place for this post. I haven't ridden a bike in a long time, like 10+ years, but I'm wanting to start. I'd like to find a bike I can ride around town, through state parks, and would hold up a little bit at a bike park an hour or so from me, called Griffin Bike Park in Indiana. I am trying to find a used one, at least for now, but don't know what I'm looking for. There's 3 I found that I was looking at in particular; a 2021 polygon Xtrada 6 for $475, a fuji traverse 1.3 for $350, and a 2003 trek fuel for $495. I will add pics in the order mentioned.

I’d be the polygon out of those three for riding through towns and state parks. I wouldn’t like to use it at the bike park, you might be better off hiring a dual suspension from there if you go there for a day. That polygon would be a reasonable starter bike, although iirc I am unsure if it has dropper post routing, you may be able to get an externally routed dropper post, that’d be the first upgrade I would make.
Please make sure that it is the correct size bike for you before purchasing.
