Hi guys! I'm new here, and also new to this sport.
I tried to do some searches for what I was looking for, but didn't find exact answers.
A few friends of mine lended me a suspension bike last week when they were riding a path from the top of a local mountain. We did 10-15 runs, and I got hooked! I thought that it was scary in the beginning, but as I began to become more comfortable with the bike I started to put up some speed, and I had a blast!
I need some advice on what kind of bike I need to get, and what to look for or not.
First question:
Freeride or downhill - what is the biggest difference, and which bike type is more versatile?
I'm 6ft4 tall (193 cm) - what frame size should I get?
I have a $2000 budget.
