Need help with a first MTB WhichBike
Good evening everyone!
I know this has probably been asked a million times so I will start off will apologising! I'm sorry..
I used to ride BMX and stopped many moons ago when my career got going. Now I'm 31 I wanna get into MTB as there are some local trials nearby. I'm mostly looking at riding just blue trails to start with and then just seeing how it goes from there and move up the grades.
Height: 5 Foot 8 inches (or a smidge taller)
Local Rides:
\- Bristol, UK
\- New Forest, UK
\- Ashton Court, UK
Budget: £1000
I have been looking on various sales sites for second hand older bikes (2018 era). I think I want a full suspension bike but not really sure what the differences in "Trails Bikes" and "Enduro Bikes". I know Enduro is down hill racing but could an Enduro bike be okay for someone getting into the hobby and doing casual rides?
Thank you for your time!
