Mountain Bike Deals – New Models with Aggressive Pricing Coming
2017 may actually become the year when mountain bike deals come calling and …you do not have to sell one of your cars in order to get into a performance and feature rich mountain bike from a well recognized brand / bike designer. If we use the recent announcement by Marin Bikes, which may be a precursor of what is to come in the 2017 model year, we may have a great, fun filled (read kid in a candy store) year of selecting competitively priced performance bikes
Here is what Marin Bikes just announced:
- Pretty Good Pricing $1500, which gets you
- The same frame as the Series 3 6061 alloy frame with light weight and added stiffness
- This is similar frame to the hardtail Indian Fire Trail 7.8 – a $2419 but the new model also adds new capabilities – e.g. the rear air shock;
- Additional info: Wide-range 1×10-speed drivetrain with Shimano Deore Shadow Plus rear derailleur and 11-42t cassette; Deore shifter
- The bike comes with double-wall alloy rims w/27mm inner width, wrapped in Schwalbe Hans Dampf 27.5” x 2.35” tires
- The front fork is a 120mm travel air shock; and then as stated earlier you have the rear shock as well;
- The only potential issue some of you may find is the use of 27-in wheels rather the 29er approach;
All in all a potential good sign for promising prices to come – mountain bike deals are coming
