Polygon bikes. I just went through this with a bike for my wife. Benefit from my endless researching (suffering). She swore she would stick with it so we got a Sisku D7. Everyone typically recommends a hardtail, but anymore I don't think that's always true.
I have a $10k bike (it's GD, so poors can go home), and a lifetime of riding, so I generally know bikes. I must say, I was skeptical for the price, but man oh man, that thing ROCKS! Even though it's way small, I still rode it around to adjust it, and for the price I can't believe how much bike it is. If I was buying for me, I'd go on Pinbike.com and try to find one used. |

With his budget, a dropper takes away a good amount of component and fork level. He can always add one later if his riding and the trails needed it. |

They are good bikes in your price range, especially if you are open to lightly used bikes. Saying “mountain bike” is a very broad term. There are frame types such as hardtail and full suspension, wheel size considerations, without mentioning frame types and materials. Also would depend what you plan on riding trail/condition wise. It is like saying AR15, that could be anything from pistol to rifle to precision target. Best thing is to find a decent shop and look around and try a few. Frame brands have differing theories on frame geometry and that can affect how you like it greatly. If you were close I could get you no less than 20 different bikes and you would narrow your search down quickly on what you like and what you want. Ask some better directed questions and I can help more closely.

No regrets about buying it, even though it's now $300 cheaper.  Check out the Roscoe 6 . It went thru a major upgrade this year and is completely modern in it's geometry and component specs, which means it's a bike right at your price point that will be more than sufficient to get started and it's fully upgradeable if you choose to go that route. I would recommend spending a little more and getting the 7 or 8, if for nothing else than moving up from 9 gears to 12, but the Roscoe 6 would be a great bike to get started on. Someone already mentioned how much bikes have changed in recent years and until you ride a modern, long-low-and-slack mountain bike, you won't understand how fucking confidence inspiring the new geometry really is. I'll do things on my Roscoe I wouldn't have dreamed of doing on my other bikes. Many people also don't know that all bike shops (dedicated shops, not bike departments in sporting good stores) will let you test ride any bike you are interested in. They will make suggestions on bikes to try, make sure you get the right size, make sure it's set up for your fit and make sure everything is working to ensure a safe ride. Go ride as many bikes as you can find and chances are, you'll find one that's worth upping your budget a bit. |

Mountain biking is great.
Bikes drop significantly in value, look for a used bike from a local bike shop. They will help you get one the right size and adjust it to fit you. I have two Stumpjumpers but there are other good bikes. |

As other have said used is a fine way to start. Make sure they fit and don't be picky. Highly recommend against full sus for first bike unless you're strictly downhill.

The bike will be serviceable and upgradeable for a good while, and an aluminum hardtail is unlikely to have any problems with frame for a good long time. The honzo I posted would be a good bike for starter into advanced rider. Right now they have some killer deals. If it was full squis id say stay away since service parts but hardtails are just so simple. No need to think about it. Id have fun on it. |

Not sure what type of terrain you are on but give a fat tire bike a try.
If you are riding on asphalt it's not for you, but of all my bikes, road, 29 hardtail and fatty the fat tire gets ridden WAY more. It's more comfortable, capable and fun off road than other bikes. You can ride it on the beach and on snow too. |

Ive been mountain biking for almost 40 years, since I was 15 and racing pro downhill for a lot of those years. Here's what I would do. Buy a used 29" hardtail off of CL to carry you through summer. Do research on what you like/need and buy the new bike around Thanksgiving when shops are blowing out current bikes to make room for next years bikes.

Go down in the poor side of town and find the guy with the used bike shop.
Get a high end bike from 5 years ago with some paint chips. All tuned and in good order for a few hundred. Would insist on discs. But i like a hard tail unless you plan on lots of freeride downhill. |

Nothing good out there for a grand that is new. I’d look for a good used one in the book of faces or Craigslist. Look for Specialized, Kona, Yeti, Santa Cruz, Rocky Mountain, Ibis, or Trek. Look for SRAM GX drivetrain and SRAM components in a 2018-2020 year and you might get down around 1-2K. Mountain biking is a hoot! I just dropped $6K on a new Santa Cruz. Good luck.

OP needs a 10-22 and arfcom says he needs an anschutz or hes wasting money.
OP depending on your kinda trails, full sus can be really nice. But it does increase the price for the same level of bike. A Specialized Rockhopper (hardtail) will be plenty to get your feet wet and not break the bank. Hell ,I rode a K2 I bought from Dicks in many adventure races. Yes, I changed the fork, brakes, shifters/deraileurs, tires, bars, chain, cassette. You dont need a damn 1500+ bike to get some experience and see what you like/want. |

I ride one every day, 2-3 miles just to keep my legs lubed. It was destined for the garbage because nothing worked on it, now all 18 speeds and the brakes work and the tires are holding air.
Flat roads but I enjoy riding it. Like it better than the 2 stroke motorized bike I put together and sold just recently. Pedal bikes are good for your health, sort of. Mountain bikes can put you in a wheel chair just as fast as a motorcycle if you are in to the 'adventure. LOL  Attached File |

And then there are good value bikes that you want to ride and won’t need to fix Used maybe 1-2k. New. $3-4k. Will last you for a while I just sold a 2016 hard tail for $700. I put 1,000 or 2 miles on it. I bought a $3,600 full suspension that was on sale from $7k Deals are out there on bikes. It’s a buyers market There is no reason to buy a $400 new bike.

If there was ever a chose two situation, this is it.
The cost of the bike will move up or down with what you intend to do with it. Green flow trails can be enjoyed with a lower cost hardtail with no dropped post. Blue or above is going to beg a dropper and full suspension I use my dropper lever more than my gear shift lever. After you figure out what trails you want to ride then it’s time for choose two. Lightweight Durable Inexpensive Choose two. |

Click To View Spoiler Tis but a scratch I personally know several people that have left Snowshoe Bike Park in an ambulance. Broken backs, ribs, tib-fib, multiple collarbones, etc. Anything that gets your adrenaline up is likely full of risk.

But this guy had on a full face DH helmet and goggles. The risk is out there |
