First, consider your purpose.Mountain bike according to different uses, divided into XC (cross country); DH; FR (downhill mountain biking) (free riding); AM (all terrain mountain)XC is one of the most common is the lowest mountain bike, mountain bike, just before the shock, the vehicle with the principle of priority allocation efficiency, comfort than other uses of the mountain bike, but suitable for climbing, high efficiency.
2, after the use of the decision, and then consider the budget, all types of vehicles have the minimum budget, if the budget is not enough, even if you can put on a similar car, can not do the corresponding use, safety first.DH is the most expensive mountain bike, generally 20 thousand yuan or so DH car barely enough, because DH is the highest risk, a more than ten thousand matches with DH car, sometimes in the game of disintegration damage.FR and AM minimum configuration in more than 10 thousand yuan, mainly these two cars require a good shock absorber, if the use of poor shock absorber, not only can not achieve comfortable riding, but also easy to damage, but also reduce efficiency.XC mountain bike is the most popular easy, 2000 yuan XC mountain bike can moderate off-road, around 3000 of the vehicle more professional (Merida Challenger 300), to 5000 or so have been very professional. Go up again soft tail (take back shock proof) frame, it is to go the direction of FR.
AM pays more attention to comfort than XC. It has a long front shock absorber and rear shock absorber. It is much heavier than XC. It is less efficient than XC, but it can also climb mountains.FR is to pay more attention to the comfort of the mountain bike than AM, has the very good through the performance, can adapt to all kinds of bad road, but because of the heavy weight, uphill time will be very heavy, the efficiency is very low, generally only the driver cart uphill.DH is a mountain bike for mountain trips, with the strongest body and the long range of shock absorbers. And the body is the most important, only down the road is not suitable for riding, lianping.
3, and finally the brand, popular mountain bike brand, Giant, Merida, TREK vehicle, the three factory can produce world-class car race, but also had good results, so it has good technical strength.Giant and Merida are China Taiwan brand, more professional in the domestic low-end bike belongs to the two brands of the best, not to say who is better, different grades have different advantages: 1000-1500, is probably no advantage, almost all; 1500-2200, Giant advantage over Merida price more than 3000; Merida Challenger series price is relatively high, the car frame level of Giant ATX8 series is too low, so the price is not to go.TREK is an American brand. People who have just come into touch with mountain bikes may feel that this brand is very big and very big. But the grade and configurations are familiar with the mountain bike, you will find TREK in addition to a 8500 frame, not suitable for amateur riders with what things, and TREK to store less of your car service difference is generally not recommended to buy famous.
