Best Mountain Bikes under €800

Sunsets On Tuesday · 2016-09-07 23:26:56

Hi guys, on the lookout for a decent hard tail MTB under about €800, planning on doing long distance riding with a mix of trails and road. Doesn't matter if it's a new bike or used bike, just want to know, what's the best MTB under €800?

It would be 18" or 20" M or L, it's tough getting a good bike now as all the good 2016 ones are gone and the 2017 are just coming out

Do you know which is the best website for buying MTBs? Hard to know which sites to trust fully.
Which bike is he selling?

This is the one that secman is talking about.
I have no connection to the seller, but it looks like the bargain of the year to me!

Wow does look like some bargain. Sub 9kg for a MTB is insane. What does a full sus offer over a hardtail for most trails in wicklow or say the wicklow way, which I plan to do,?
