$500 vs $2000 Hardtail Mountain Bike

The trusty hardtail is almost everyone’s entry into mountain biking, but they can vary a fair bit in price from your entry-level off-the-shelf bike to something that’s custom-built for extreme performance! But the question is, how does an entry-level hardtail compare to something that’s a bit more expensive and which bike is better for you!?

What's your dream Hardtail MTB build? let us know down below! 👇

[@Gabe73C]

A Sendero Titanium frame from Chumba setup mullet with SRAM XX , Berd wheels, Pirelli Scorpions and an Öhlins RXF34. 😍

[@Onthemainline]

Commencal Meta HT, Shimano Deore 12 speed, Fox Factory Float 36’s, Enve M9’s. 😍🔥

[@Judgeshred88]

I have mine. On one Hello Dave! It’s so amazing that I stupidly sold one in a downhill bike mid life crisis and then bought another Dave as I missed it and it’s awesome

[@vashusan1984]

My Commencal HT. SRAM GX, XT brakes, Lyric 160 ultimate, One up 200 mm dropper, bontrager line pro 30 carbon wheels. The thing rips and I find myself reaching for it for most trails. Loosey Goosey in the back end is a good time! The bike is an homage to Blake's old Scout. The first time I heard "hardcore hardtail". Thanks Blake for celebrating what a hardtail can be!

[@Onthemainline]

@@vashusan1984 That’s very near my dream hard tail! Lucky you! Enjoy it 😀

[@michaelb9664]

This was more of a tyre comparison than a bike comparison IMO. Perform the same tests with both bikes on matching tyres 👍

[@derekmcdermott5312]

I have the same model Voodoo Hoodoo. I've recently changed the bars to nukeproof bars with more rise. Upgraded the grips, pedals and saddle and it already feels like a completely different bike. I plan to add a dropper and convert to tubeless which should make it a pretty capable hardtail. I'm 42 and brand new to mountain biking. I can't afford to spend £2000 on a bike, so videos like this make me feel better about my purchase. Please do upgrade videos on this bike, fans on tight budgets would really appreciate it as mountain biking is an expensive dammed sport to get into

[@ThisGuyRides]

After you do the dropper and tubeless upgrade, just wait until parts break. Meanwhile keep an eye out for deep discount sale on wheelset, forks, etc that are too good to pass up.

[@stujm8376]

There are some upgrade videos they’ve done in the past, but you’re right, more are always helpful.

[@derekmcdermott5312]

@StuJM Definitely man, I wouldn't have been able to do even my minor upgrades without their videos. But very often (not always) they are using a higher end bikes while explaining how to change out parts. I think it would be nice to see from start to finish just how far you can take a low-budget bike with upgrades.

[@dylan-5287]

Does the bike have an air fork? On even the cheapest of bikes, an air fork and dropper will absolutely transform the bike and make it 10x as capable. I enjoy the upgrade process. My first hardtail didn't have a dropper, no air fork, 3x8 drive train. Each upgrade feels huge. I'd say it's more enjoyable than someone who just starts out on a top of the line bike. You don't get the appreciation for each component upgrade.

[@phillipstewart2031]

I've the bizango and I'm struggling to convert

[@Fz_Zaza]

I'm a simple man. I see Blake and a video of hardtail I press like. ❤

[@gmbn]

Haha! Thanks for the support!

[@m4tzeeh]

I almost regret buying a full suspension bike, because at the time I had not thought about that all the bearings need maintenance/replacing at some point. I do really miss my hardtails, hopefully gonna add one to my arsenal again some time in the future.🤗 Good video as always!

[@rottieshepcalibre9156]

Get some tools and service it yourself. It's fun. Honest. But yeah the cleaning and regular services can be a pain if your not really into that kinda thing.

[@dylan-5287]

I love my FS, I barely ride the hardtail anymore just since the FS is so smooth. It even climbs faster. But the one thing I hate is going through mud and getting the pivots/bearings all messed up. If you're riding really muddy trails then the hardtail wins. But for anything else the FS is just so much faster. And I was a huge hardtail fan for years telling myself FS is pointless and I'd never get one lol. Still got love for my hardtail of course.

[@paulshanesmith]

A hardtail with plus size tyres is the best combination in my humble opinion.

[@ayda2876]

@@dylan-5287 that's just not true lmao you don't climb faster on a FS

People always comparing bikes but what they're really comparing usually is tires. Props that this video actually pointed that out

[@Milessongs]

Thanks Blake - for a brilliant dose of honesty about just how much we might need to spend to get a decent, trail-worthy ride. £500 of silver can equal £2k of fun!

[@wd99999]

I built my dream hardtail last year. Found a very good condition 2018 Honzo CR and built it up with XX1 rainbow cassette, X01 derailler & shifter. Fox Factory 34 fork, RaceFace NextR bars, OneUp dropper, Stans Flow wheels, Rekon / Dissector tire set up. Its perfect!

[@gmbn]

Glad you liked it! Cheers for watching! 🙌

[@MrDenwei]

So what if you upgrade the voodoo to the same tires and test again because they're relatively cheap to do

[@rando5673]

They would probably be within a second of each other. Braking would also be nearly identical. If you don't race, the cheaper bike will be able to handle any trail you ever do

[@zethjugos1250]

Thats actually a nice follow up video wouldnt it? I hope Blake reads this😊😊😊

[@simonm1447]

​@@zethjugos1250 Nukeproof is a Gmbn sponsor. I think it's not allowed to do such a video where their bikes almost got beaten by a bike for 1/4 the price

After getting into MTB and learning more than I ever thought possible from you guys, I cannot say thank you enough. Im currently sporting a Trek Marlin 6 but my dream build is a Scout like yours...one day it'll happen. Thank you guys and keep biking!

[@vieuxacadian9455]

I can't help but throw in tire pressure and tread choice as it's a crucial factor . Love the video , Wunderbar !

[@MikeGlorfindel]

Please do it! Upgrade the tyres and chuck a dropper that would get the seat properly out of the way and re-test. Love the Nukeproof but showing it is not all about dropping a ton of cash to get a trail ready bike is brilliant.

Im still riding my Voodoo Bokor from circa 2010. Just changed it over to 1x10 yesterday. Dont plan on getting rid of it anytime soon. Just wished there were more fork choices in 1 1/8 forks

[@CercaMoraine]

Love the budget bike videos. I would like to see Blake and Neil do side by side comparisons of the same exact model hardtails featuring different levels of stock specs to give us a comparison of bikes with the same exact geometry, but how the different level of parts really compare.

[@gabrys187]

There was a similar series but with full suspension bikes at pinkbike, you may find it interesting 😉

[@snickersthingz]

Look up budget vs baller I think it is, PB did it. Cheap vs expensive upgrades to the same bike

[@chiefsilverback]

@@snickersthingz Sadly Budget vs Baller was done as a joke rather than a serious project because they actually downgraded one of the bikes with bargain basement parts off Amazon/eBay rather than the entry level parts from the main component manufacturers.

[@snickersthingz]

@@chiefsilverback you are correct, it really should have been done using more realistic components people would use like base Shimano, SRAM or even BOX. But it does still give a little comparison

[@triciamcintyre4947]

I had a 29er Voodoo Aizan, it had acera and altus gears and Clark's hydraulic brakes, never missed a beat,sold it for a specialized sirrus x4 because I was doing more road cycling,Halfords don't sell it anymore,was a bargain at 400 bucks👍🚴

[@Skyum123]

That was a great candidate for fail of the day 😱 that looked insanely unpleasant. At the time im looking on the used market for a cheap hardtail for every day use, as well as the hardtail feeling for some trips to the woods. Great and funny presenter as always!

Your little incident on Sheep Skull was just as you described it in the cafe, Blake 😎🤘🏻🙌🏻😂🚲

[@deadlegs187]

I've recently bought a Carrera valour. Not been on a bike in years. It's not the best bike. But I do get on the trails with it. And I've had no complaints so far. Just happy to be back out on my bike.

[@rando5673]

Genuinely impressed with that suntour XCR fork. I'm getting a bike on clearance for $400 this weekend and I thought I'd need a new fork but it looks like I can save my cash. Thanks GMBN!

[@ashleyburton8605]

There’s some entry level Rockshox forks which are good value

[@soopahfly82]

I've got the voodoo as a winter bike. I put xfusion velvets on, upgraded the tyres to some wtb's and a brand x dropper. It's fine. Its better than the £500 bikes we used to have to put up with. Is it going to be as good as a £2000 bike? Obviously not. Is it good enough for most people? Sure. A few choice upgrades and it transforms the bike.

[@tobysemler]

These videos are great - shows how much comes down to the rider, not the bike, for the level of difficulty most of us face. When I was younger I used to like having the fanciest dualie I could afford and never got close to testing them. I've just recently bought my first bike in many years, a Silverback Stride, and I look forward to pushing it to its absolute limits. Or not!

[@jakwadd]

£500 for the voodoo 😂 not a bad entry bike but I’ve just managed to pick up a Scott Scale 950 2019 for £575 with hope fortus wheels, tech x2s in blue, Blue F20 pedals, 12 speed Nx gear set! Will be buying a Nuke proof frame when I find one. It was so so cheap compared to what it should have been, it’s a great parts bike for a more aggressive build when I find one! Buying second hand is the way to go imo, but just required knowing a few people to get good deals 😂

[@taranveerkarir9203]

This is my favourite Budget vs premium video. I started out on a voodoo bazingo which is extremely similar to the hoodoo

[@benireland6]

Gone from a similarly priced Boardman hardtail to a Commencal Meta HT - I've found you're paying for durability and more modern geo above everything else. I upgraded when the list of repairs for the Boardman kept increasing after a couple of years

[@goatsplitter]

I came to say the same. The other thing is that the better components all around make a bike much easier to ride for longer. I had a series of cheapos before really buying more expensive bikes and man there is a world of difference in the long haul in how tired you get!

[@RudiJoubert]

The question is: how meany times can you descent the budget bike like that before it falls apart? At which point maintenance and replacement cost will start catch up with a decent mid- to high end bike.

[@free2day1147]

Thank you, I was hoping to see this exact comment

[@miseriadocao]

2539 times.

[@asianskywalker]

they're still decent quality branded parts on the Hoodoo. Just because it's cheaper doesnt mean it's going to break quicker.

[@RudiJoubert]

Brakes and gearing may be… shock, hubs, bearings? Those are the parts taking hits. Frame welds? Can only be answered after longterm testing. So @Blake… will you long term test the cheap bike? 😁🤙🏻

[@miseriadocao]

@@RudiJoubert Sometimes that is what the person can buy , the vídeo shows that is possible to have a lot of fun with a cheap bike , not that buying a expensive one is a bad deal. Also you need to do maintenance on expensive bikes too , and its .... well expensive , and just because its expensive doesnt mean it lasts much longer , many expensive things are build for performance not durability. One last thing not everyone rides like blake and you know that.

[@ohride_mtb]

100 for two new tires (which are wearing out anyway at some time) plus 100 for a dropper and it's a nice ride. Bonus a better fork an you have a modern hardtail trail bike

[@ab_mtb]

[@andrewsupernova]

Yes it does, give a racer anything adequate and they will beat the regular guy on any budget because they are just a better rider. Only spend when the skill is there to match!

[@the_spanner_ch7mp]

Awesome video Blake 👊🤘 That was one hell of a high side 😲 Most importantly did you scratch or damage Buttercup ? Do another video like this and have the same tyres on the Voodoo Hoodoo I bet there wouldn't be much in it Great stuff #GMBN 🤘

[@gmbn]

Cheers, Ross! Yeah, Blake certainly had a gnarly one. Buttercup was all good! 😅 Thanks for the suggestion!

[@dvpemberton]

Only just got back in after an 18 year break. Looked at the Voodoo's; but finally settled on a Vitus Sentier VRX. Slightly more expensive but worth every penny for the decent ride and components.

[@N3wt199]

that was a brutal crash!! Blake is made of strong stuff!

[@jackfalcon5352]

Droppers always get mentioned as something that every bike needs an upgrade to (which is true) but none of the timed tests account for that or show you how it saves time/energy. We need a timed test that uses a trail with lots of elevation change that shows the difference in time/energy using a dropper verses leaving you seat in the same place or using a quick release to get comfortable whenever necessary.

[@Stevo_YouTube]

Serious?

[@goatsplitter]

I almost never use my dropper on any of bikes. Where I live, I will have about 20-50ft of decent at most and it takes more brain power and movement to drop the seat and then have to put it back up than to just stand up for a second. And when I take the Enduro down mountains, it just stays down almost always. Droppers are convenient sure I guess but I've thought about swapping them for carbon seatposts many times. Quick release and carbon for weight and absorption is all I really need and I'd wager all most riders "need" too.

[@kaltonian]

i think that particular voodoo won bike of the year for the £500 category & to be fair they are well worth the money as a competitive entry level bike, as you say change tyres & you would be good to go. you should send your crash to pink bike for their Friday fails...lol great effort blake.

[@PmatWolf]

Balke what an awesome comparison, i have the slightly older version of the HooDoo (the pastel blue one) These bike where absolutely made to be upgraded, so far keeping in mind i have done all of this gradually as i can afford it on a budget, Wake 780mm bars and shorty stem, 150mm Suntour Aion forks (second hand), Easton vice XLT 27.5 wheelset (second hand) IXF crank and single speed oval chain ring, shimano deore 1x9 rear derailieur, casette and shifter, Fincci 2.35 x 27.5 tires (excellent budget tire honestly) and it has absolutely changed this bike around i love it, its getting stripped this coming week for a dropper post hole to be drilled and a custom wrap (Black n grey Camo or if not that then coyote colour scheme) considering i got the bike for £40 off ebay (yes off ebay everything seized though) its really taken shape, i've loved doing this budget build so far ..... do you guys think you could do a proper budget build using a mix of second hand parts and new components like mine?

5:34 😆😆😆 Greetings from germany ✌🏻 🇩🇪

[@MadLFC]

That's the distinction between budget and premium. The gains per individual test are not always massive but when you add it all up the riding experience will be noticable. On the flip side, a few decent upgrades on the Voodoo will elevate that bike to at least the same level as the Nukeproof but with much less money being spent. Still, the Nukeproof wins hands down for street cred alone.

[@davehedgehogUK]

You've gotta be into your bikes for Nukeproof to get street cred really. It's like owning a Lancia and going to a car meet, a car guy will purr over it, but everyone else will be looking at the Ferrari, Lamborghini and Astons. I have a Santa Cruz, the only people that ever say nice bike mate are skaters or ex-skaters. The average Joe don't know the brand, same with Nukeproof. They might know Specialized (not S-Works just standard) Marin, Orange, Trek, GT etc, might. Most people I know think Carrera and Claude Butler are premium bikes. Elite bikes are a very niche thing, I found that out when I got into it years ago. It's like wearing Bottega Veneta clothes and George Cleverly shoes go to the bingo, nobody is ever gonna give you credit for wearing a 5 grand outfit, as they'll have no idea it's a 5 grand outfit. Having a Nukeproof will get hit respect from your peers though, that's much better than street cred. People on the street have poor taste, they ride e-scooters and wear The North Face jackets.

[@MadLFC]

​@@davehedgehogUKI used the term "street cred" in very loose terms. What I meant was peer to peer credibility in the MTB world. I'm not a brand snob so I go for the best bike you can get for your money regardless of the brand. I wouldn't be concerned about pretentious riders who worry about what other people may think.

[@russty81ify]

All Scouts have external cable routing the only internal cable you can add is the dropper. The scout is very aggresive hardtail i have the Race V3 awsome bike. Unfortunatly the owners have just gone skint... you might still beable to pick one up..maybe

[@shanelewis7052]

I based my lockdown project budget hardtail on a Hoodoo but just bought parts one or two brackets higher than what it runs and I will admit I haven't hit its limit yet as a trail bike. Haven't tried anything enduro level yet though. Weighs less though, has a higher gear range and a steel frame.

[@deanseymour5024]

[@softcolly8753]

Having a similar pair of bikes for a few years now, one for about town and one for actual mountain biking, it's worth noting that the components wear a lot quicker on the basic bike.

the BRAAPPP at 6:04 gets the thumbs up from me 😆

Very entertaining!!😆

I would love to see a control tire in the test!

think this would have been better with a vitus nucleus vrs as they are killing it at the moment and they can be found brand new

In 2017 I paid £650 for a new Diamondback Heist 3+. Plus size tyres and dropper post as standard, XT mech, Shimano hydraulic brakes, rockshox fork.. I put Maxxis Assegia's on it as I go down the knarliest runs in Portes du Soleil, Samoens etc and apart from pads it's needed no repairs.

Soooooo….trade the tires between the Scout and Hoodoo and the Voodoo wins! 😃 Not often that we see Blake crashing like that….good thing he was wearing his gloves and eye protection! 😆

Could slpit the middle and for 850 quid go with the Ragely Big AL, which would be very close to the Nukeproof in performance.

OVING YOUR STYLE! :D

I actually have the Voodoo Zobop (not electric) and it's the full suspension Rockshox, Shimano Hydraulic Brakes, SRAM derailleur, tubeless, all stock with few minor upgrades, the bike needs nothing, it feels quite premium to me.
