Which is your Best Mountain Bikes Under 500?

The biggest bargain on the entire list is the Diamondback Overdrive. And the price on the link you supplied is higher than on the Diamondback website. https://www.diamondback.com/overdrive-27-9123

$449.99 vs. $329.99 directly from Diamondback. And buying direct, your bike gets shipped to an authorized Diamondback or Raleigh dealer for free & professional assembly. Amazon is no bargain.

What was that site, written by Google Translate?

At least the quality of the language matched the quality of the content.

Don’t trust any of it.

The link you supplied is laughable. The last thing on their list of priorities is the wheels. WRONG! That would be my first. And that Mongoose Impasse Dual Suspension bike for $311.05 is a JOKE! A) It only comes in ONE frame size. B) Look at the seatpost & clamp. Nothing but cheap pot metal. C) I could go on & on & on...

The BEST mountain bike I've ever owned was sort of a dual purpose bike designed for what's called "urban assault riding". And despite the fact it was a hardtail (not a full squish bike), the retail price was still over $500. What made it so good? It was a POLICE BIKE! Had everything but the word "police" on the top tube.

Many of the bikes on that list are a joke. A dual suspension bike for under 500 anything cannot be described as "good" There was one bike on that list that weighs almost 50 pounds

500 what? £, $, €, Swiss francs, Zimbabwe dollars? Best for what?
