hi! i am new to mt biking and am leaning getting an am/trail/all around full suspension bike. can you guys recommend any built bike with descent specs that would fit my budget. i am eyeing on haro,khs,jamis,kinesis brands. can you give me some low down on some particular models that would fall on the am/trail category, and where can i purchase them. i am from baguio and choices here are limited so your inputs are very much appreciated. tia

HI TUTFAIRY, mapapalitan ba ng pera yung tut ko? hehehe, kidding aside. seriously madaming option sa market sa budget at type ng bike na gusto mo. but madami ring consideration on building or having it. lalona baguhan ka. like you have to consider yung hieght, inseam ng legs, are you going to ride mostly street? trail? for fitness? for fun? do you consider racing in the near future? etc etc. madami talaga. im asking this para mabigyan mo ng idea yung mga magbibigay sayo ng advice so they can recomend you on getting your good all around full suspention bike, ayt?

HAVE A HAPPY SHOPPING AHEAD OF YOU!

thanks for the insight sir. am not totally a newbie per se. got into riding in the 90's pero got a freak accident that stopped me from riding ngyn lng ulit ako nagkaroon ng new found love sa mtb and considering riding on trails. i was thinking of these brands ung haro x6 or some khs or jamis na built bike. sa mga ito sir what will you recommend? thanks ulit. buti pa dito nirereplayan mga newbies sa kabilang site pag hndi significant mino move hehehe.

iba kse dito, rider karamihan. hindi magagaling sa computer. pero marunong makipagusap ng maayos.

kung yung khs yung naka bomber na fork? forgot the model 604 ata yun? maganda rin yun all mountain value for money at magaganda parts. maganda rin rear shox nya. yung white ata kung di ako nagkakamali.

mas preferd ko yung khs than the two brands. frame design and component wise mas lamang to sa dalawa.

ok din sa akin yung khs, pwede mong set up ng slopes. pero check mo din yung size nya. sukat mo sa laki mo. ano nga pala height mo?
yung mga nakita ko kasing KHS, maliliit. ganda ng tindig. pero may nakita din akong malaki nun. check mo din yung parts nya kung ok. kung 40k sya, atleast yung fork nya zokee para sulit. tapos malamang naka deore yan.
ok na yun.

sa jamis, di ko pa nakita yung 40k range nila na unit.

am 5'6'' sir kaya i guess i would fall sa small frame. what shops do u recommend kc am planning to go down manila and scout next week. and what shops carry khs.thanks sir

bikezilla sa ortigas. sa tapat ng podium sa oakwood tower sa likod ng jollibee plaza.

ross cycle sa cartimar pasay

sarap mag ride sa baguio anlamig!

sir tutfairy tama si capt crash pero take note sarado po sila pag sundays. para lang di masayang oras mo.

gudlak!

admin randal may list po ba tayo ng shops locations at contact numbers dito sa forums?

mucho gracias mga sir! lalo na ngyn sir malamig masakit na nga pag huminga eh.

Sir silipin nyo din yung mongoose teocali

@ ejbasses does the mongoose fall sa 40k na budget?

mga sir ano pang ibang built bike na swak sa 40k and is all mountain capable. what are your inputs sa haro shift r5?tenks

medyo di responsive ang suspension design nyan. kung i upgrade mo sya sa maayos na rear shox, mag iimprove ang laro. pero haro shift was design for 4-cross. kaya limited yung ction ng suspension nya. more on padaling sya.

however, you can set it up anyway you want,. yun nga lqng gagastos ka para ma feel mo yung suspension nya.

sa giant may 40k built bike for am.

Sir tutfairy, I'm a proud owner of a Haro Shift R5:
