I did a couple of hours on the red runs at Bedgebury yesterday, which is the first time I’ve ridden a MTB for about 20 years and the most ‘off-road’ I’ve ever ridden.
A lot of fun and I was impressed with how the hired hard tail e-bike soaked up stuff that I did not know how to deal with!
Can someone point me at a decent first mtb that won’t need upgrading for a while? Budget maybe up to £1.5k if I can clear out some other bikes but happy to spend a lot less. I’m assuming forks, tyres and brakes are the key components here, although I’d like a dropper and 1x.
I know nothing about the various standards…
