You can’t find MTBs for love or money here. Secondhand prices are even more bonkers than dirt bikes. I wanted to buy a good, HT play bike last year and it was impossible to find anything.
I don’t get a lot of cross over aside from how grippy knobblies are. I like both - plus for pedal power is that we have outstanding trails just 20mins up the road and packing in and out is easier.
Dirt bikes are in a different league of excitement for me. I suspect some of that is a bit dependent on where you ride though. If all you’ve got it gnarly single track, they’d be a lot closer save for the uphills.
