What’s a good beginner bike? - Budget mountain bike 

This is so true

yup

u trippin

Were you never Rick rolled?

@@mikeycole4692 :D Unfortunately, I've experienced similar thing but worst ( Click bait that leads to 4 old dudes touching themselves in the bath tube)

Thanks

Fahri Ali does it need to be disk?

Fahri Ali gotcha. I plan on upgrading to a whole new bike. Just getting down the wheelies, and easy trails (trek 3700)

My bike only passes 1.5 and that's the derailleur hanger and it fits me but bigger would be a bit better. But for less than 90 bucks that my parents didn't even want me to buy (because they don't care) it is a decent bike . it has a usable gearset, not absulute shit suspension, not shit Tyres. At least I take care of it and do maintenance regularly unlike a lot of people in my friend circle.

@@fahriali3041 Unless you have hydraulic rim brakes (as my bike does)

Agreed.

They're not going to go back down either.

Hey Seth, I want to get a bike that has a more aggressive geometry, as I currently ride an XC bike. Is there any specific model you think would be good value for money? Thanks

No quick release isn’t necessarily bad. I own a carbon Rocky Mountain that’s an 8 millimeter Allen key. I get what you meant with the bolt but for beginners you might want to get more specific. But you still have more balls then me sending on that xc bike!

Seth's Bike Hacks you are awesome Seth!!👍🏻😎🌮🌮

Go to check for “$300” bike is actually 600-700. Seems like the decent ones run $1000 plus

kush man it’s really depressing actually, i recently decided to get a new bike but I can’t find a single good bike for around 300

OOF

big boi zander witch one☝️

That’s tough you should definitely go sped about 500$ bucks on a bike that is at a bike shop don’t go to Walmart or target because they will break lol I’ve done it

But know I have a trek marlin 5

It was actually a 2013 diamondback response xc, in have the 2 year newer model

@@andrewsutton2464 The place you are most likely to find a hardrock is a shop that carries specialized. They are difficult to find online.

@@Nice-bo3bu Do you speak more than one language?

Xsential Gaming I do, actually. English is not my first language, I’m from Eastern Europe

My first mountain bike was one I bought from a coworker for $100. I don't remember the brand, but it was actually a pretty decent bike, and it got me around for a year after I wrecked my car. My second mountain bike was a top of the line 1993 Trek 6000 that my wife bought for me. I loved that bike and was very upset when it was stolen last year, or I would still be riding it.

Mike D is polygon premier 5 any good for $599 aus?

Where's MCA?

Polygon Siskiu D5 is decent

Nice!

Cool bro, I hope you manage to make those jumps sooner than later 👌

I love this comment 😂

I can only find it for 600

lmao

It definitely matters. Having a good fork is crucial if you want to ride rocky/rooty stuff for longer than a fee minutes without your forearms falling of. It is more about the rider than the bike. That is true. You wont win anything on a bad bike though.

How can pedal on your seat please give the tricks

@Pixellight Gaming Dude, it's not for the rich, it's for the patient. I found an awesome bike used for a few bucks! It's holding up perfectly! I haven't spend much on it so far, but i'm having fun, and i'm not rich!

@Pixellight Gaming not really... most mountain bikers I know (including myself) don't have much money... but it's a good community and you can always get good deals on second hand bikes that are still in good condition :)

@Pixellight Gaming If you invest in a good bike it will last. my first bike was about 600 bucks and it lasted me over ten years. I went riding about 3 times a week so if you break it down it was less than 1 dollar a ride for me during the life of the bike (of course there were occasional parts needed and maintenance). You can also find really good used bikes as well, it seems its easier to find components on deep clearance rather than full bikes so that could be a good route for you as well! Hope you give it a shot because its a lot of fun.. maybe even try renting a bike first for a few weekends to see if you even like it?

@Pixellight Gaming Totally not true! These style bikes can be had for less than $500 in the states and closer to $200 if you are willing to buy used and shop around - that's about the price of a decent video game console. Sure you might have to save up a bit if you aren't well-off but don't buy into the industry hype about having to own the latest greatest stuff and upgrade every 2 years. That's obviously how new MTBs are marketed because they gotta sell to someone, but there's room for all types of budgets and all types of bikes. There's guys I ride with who are serious shredders and crush it on 10+ yr old hard tails. Please stop spreading lies.

👍🏼 I started on a $30 mongoose (craiglist) now I have this exact diamondback I am having lots of fun.

Yes! Pin this comment to the top!

What beginner bike did you purchase???

@@rogercotman1314 it was the 26 inch GT stomper for my 10 year old. There's not the greatest comment about Dick's sporting goods putting the bike together, so I ended up ordering it and doing it myself. But the bike itself will blow you away! The colors aren't exactly what you see, so I had already read reviews. But I got him the new red one and this bike is gorgeous! The red is vibrant, but still red and not orange or pink. And all the equipment is so much better than you're going to think it's going to be. The big choice for this bike is, for his age, everyone's buying adult bikes so that they can grow into them but getting the smallest size they can. Going with this stomper GT pro in 26 inch, they actually have the pedals in a better positioning and the neck and handlebars are better for their age and size. He and I are so proud of the choice I made! And he's really enjoying it on the trails and the jumps.

@@hutchrt0596 Thanks, i'm looking for 29in ...........................$250-300 range....................

@@rogercotman1314 your best bet is the schwinn axum. They have a 400$ and an identical 500$ with a dropper post. Do alot of research but for your price range that's honestly the best thing worth getting. Theres another model under that called the "boundy" it's the second best of the cheap bikes in my opinion 240$. But I wouldnt go lower then the axum. If you have time and patience check pawn shops and the used market. Then you'll most likly get alot better quality bike, if you go that route inspect the bike very well to see if anything is wrong with it and if you need to replace parts and fix it. Either route I just talked about i would take the bike apart mostly after you get it home and reassemble it correctly and to your liking👍 just to be correct and safe. I bought the 400$ schwinn axum by the way, took it up to walmart customer service and pointed out some zip ties and misc little things I knew were fixable (they didnt)..and they gave me 10% off which isnt bad on a 400$ bike so it was 360$. That said theres a huge bike shortage rn In most states and good entry level mtn bikes are hard to find, prices are high and supply down. Walmart has a 90 day return policy so I'm honestly still bike shopping lol. New and used. But this schwinn axum is not a bad bike at all for the price like I said, I just have an urge to get a better bike and might put some more $$ towards it. But if I end up keeping this one I'd still be happy and just upgrade a few parts on it.

Daily MTB Rider yep

Daily MTB Rider this mountain bike ix available on internet or a website ?

The one seth's reviewing is on diamondback.com

Daily MTB Rider yup😂

aironeTV there are multiple versions available. This is the basic overdrive hardtail. Additionally you can opt for the 27.5 or 29er variants. The overdrive family is extensive. The top of the like ones such as the overdrive comp and pro can run you anywhere from 1k to $1600. (Full retail but no one pays that much) Make sure to find a retailer to get the best price

Why should I carry a whiskey flask on me man.

Nothing says "fuck it, I'll hit that" like a flask of whiskey. Not exclusive to mtb talk.

Wow, that bike would've been pretty dope 25 years ago. That feels like a total ripoff if you bought it with the intention of going mountainbiking.

You will be ok as long as you don't do any downhill

swapode honestly, those brakes are probably better than shitty cable discs. Cable discs < rim brakes < hydraulic discs. Sorry

Go Clunker a normal priced disk brakes will alway out perform rims.

McNulty funny how you have no clue what you are talking about. Cable disc brakes are GARBAGE. V brakes are way better and don't suffer from overheating or fade. What I think you are trying to say is Hydraulic disc brakes, which are NOT cheap by any means, but far superior to V brakes and and 2000% better than garbage cable discs Why don't you do some steep downhill with cable discs, and come back and tell me how great they are???? Its clear you never have

Keyes Miller lmao

I was just checking to make sure someone commented this. :)

XD

I’d stay away from myself

Keyes Miller that’s what he said to his girlfriend

look at what i said

They make Flask holders form MTB???

Ever herd of a hydration pack

yes of course, I was just wondering if there was a flask holder designed to be installed on a mountain bike.

Flask holder mount is important as it holds the battery after you convert it to an ebike.

Congrats man. I'm sitting here 3am trying to figure out how knobby i can go on this baby. Any suggestions?

I found my first MTB in the garbage and used it for a year. Just enjoy your bike and upgrade when you think you're ready.

@@JulitoPapitoo my bike is 30 years old lol, surprised I'm still alive

@@yepyep4451 So is mine. Disc brakes? Nope...Threadless headset? Nope... Does has index shifting though so I'm good!

@@81eagle if it's old, those were the standards at the time, so the bike can still be good quality. He's talking about buying new now. If the bike doesn't have what he lists, it's garbage and not safe to ride anywhere but on pavement. Quality.

If you love your bike, don't change it.

if you haven't purchased already I reccomend the marlin 5

Same I spent about 2 hundred on a Walmart bike and I am now thinking of getting that exact bike lol

BigVic I have a 29er mongoose its pretty awsome and does the job as good as any other bike, iv upgraded tires put a chain guard on it and sticker blasted the frame for extra speed ;) don't underestimate the mongoose

Im looking to get a MTB - Complete noob and haven't rode a bike in 10 years! ( only 27 lol ) Do you think the Marlin 7 will do the job for the first few years? budget about £500 :D Also what size frame for me i'm 177cm 5ft 10ish ... 17.5 or 18.5

yah, agreed. I haven't had a Diamondback since I was a kid but I have a Trek Xcaliber now and I am pretty impressed with the quality of Trek bikes starting with the Marlins. I wanted hydraulic disk and air shock which is the only reason I didn't get a Marlin 5 or 7.

Good bike 👍

Go for the Giant Talon 3 instead much better quality and has better components.

Wilhelm Heckler what bike?

DawsonBailey500 i tried looking for somthing around $ 250 but ended up getting a $320 bike that is as if it costs $400+ but i am not sure u can get it in america (its a bergamount roxtar 4.0) if u can i would take a look

Having the same issues, I'm so out of shape for biking. Having fun though :) as I'm sure you are too.

Same here guys! Definitely had fun as well but it's amazing to realize how not riding for years can kick your ass lol.

Hahahaha I remember that was me when I stole a road bike when I ditched school one day when I was in high school and I ended up falling in love with biking and rode the bike till it broke and now into cycling

Dead Faces lol wtf

Rich man..l who buys a 3429 dollar bike as their first bike?

Thats good cause im getting one in a few days

MtbFiend i just ordered one the other day after seeing this vid, super stoked

I went back and forth between this bike and the GT Aggressor Pro from dicks. They seemed very comparable since they had similar parts and specs. Next bike upgrade will probably be a Diamondback since they seem to be more engaged in the US mountain bike scene and more known for servicing. The GT had not been bad though!

Update: I bought the bike for full price, ripped it, and it got stolen! Now I'm ordering a slightly more expensive bike (50€ more expensive when on sale) with better drivetrain and suspension and bigger tyres. I will definitely be considering the bigger tyres since the bike I'm getting has 29x2.20" tyres so I'll be on the lookout! Also winter tyres because I live in the north and so I can bike to a nearby ski resort to rip on skis and snowboard!. The police department is financing 200€ of it so I like it. I also got a BMX which I really enjoy! Also getting new skis (to do tricks). Considering getting a skateboard for next summer and probably a scooter for the heck of it. That was basically it
