I'be been looking to upgrade to a FS from my entry level hardtail (kona lanai) I've had it for 3 years and i think im ready to upgrade I found this in my area for 2000 CAD, I would like to know if this is a good bike for all around, it needs to be able to handle some abuse, downhills, uphills, flats, and everything in between. I do think i can negotiate down so I would like to hear opinions on just hte bike and if its a good deal or not. (It's the base model) I'm looking for a bike that will help me evelate my skill level and allow me to go faster and ride harder trails. This is at the upper end of my budget. Theres is also a Cannondale habit 4 2019 for 1600 in good condition for sale near me.

-Thanks!

Poison Spider bikes were amazing for my bike rental. Bike setup and selection was on point. Rode great out of the gate. Trail info they provided was super valuable. Would give five stars.

Accommodation. Loads of hotels but they fill up fast towards the end of the day. If you want something cheap with breakfast I'd book it when you see it.

Driving from Grand Junction. Pretty much beans after a town called Fruita. If you want road stuff get it there.

Two roads into town. Google maps will likely want to take you 70 to 191, you want 70 to 128 to get the fully majesty of the canyons on the way in. I took 191 out.

If you want good food cheap I'd recommend Pasta Jay's. I did my carb loading there and it was on point.

Supplies, check out City Market it's the big grocery store in town and carries everything.

Traffic cops, mind your speed in Moab I saw tons of folks get pulled over in town. It says 30 and they mean 30.

The money, I rode Mag 7 and Whole Enchilada. Mag 7 trails were fantastic, nothing crazy and a good workout. Whole Enchilada... Burro Pass.... people talk about the climb. The climb is the climb, the Burro downhill is something else. Just fast gnarly gnar. I honestly don't think Ill ride something like it again, crazy trail. After Burro the rest of the trail didn't disappoint, I had a great time. Hazard County is incredible, so fast. One word of advice is don't get complacent, the whole trail is full of surprises but if you're turned on you can spot the lines around stuff you don't want to ride before its too late! If your thinking you gotta ride it, go ride it.

Summary. Moab is an amazing experience and one I would recommend to any of my biking buds. That Burro downhill man, something else! You may want to add a day to your trip, its trails unlimited out there and I wish I'd had another day or two.

Drop me some feedback in comments on the YouTube video
