Everyone wants to save money, so keep this mountain bike buying guide in mind when picking out your new bike.
The first and most important consideration for a mountain bike is what kind of biking you'll be doing.
If you decide to take either bike out on a track, you will feel the difference of how the bike handles bumps, as well as how easy it is to pedal.
If you plan on biking uphill or on flats, get a cross-country bike.
Reach for the handlebars as you sit in the saddle, and make sure that you are comfortable with the general proportions of the bike.
Frame size is the most important consideration because it is much more difficult to change after you buy a bike.
Prices vary greatly for mountain bike helmets, but you should look for one that features air vents, a sun visor, and Consumer Product Safety Commission notification on the side.
If you plan on extended biking trips, you might want to look into performance mountain bike helmets, which often feature higher-quality materials and designs for your comfort.
Likewise, you'll also want a bike helmet with multiple vents to keep the air flowing.
Consider your budget when buying mountain bike.
If you can't afford a higher quality bike, you'll might find that you can update certain parts of the bike as you invest in smaller, replaceable items.
Shop at a specialized bike store instead of a department store, and ask the attendant for older models from last year, which will be marked down significantly.
Check these areas when picking out your mountain bike.
