Investing in a well-made mountain bike is like upgrading to a nice pair of leather boots, you’re going to immediately notice a major improvement in comfort and durability. Now, you can go all-out and buy a high-end mountain bike (like this Pivot), or you can go with a mid-tier option that’s going to still give you premium performance while saving a couple bucks (the only difference is you’ll forgo some luxury features).
