Soon, there is going to be the rapture. It's when there will be trumpet sounds, and after the trumpet sounds, God will lift his people from here. Also, God said people should be living by the Bible. Amen, and God bless you. ❤* John 3:16 - "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish but have eternal life". ❤

You can have a dropper and a front derailleur at the same time. There's a different lever that's placed on top of the bars to not interfere with the shifter.

FYI, the Kent seatpost diameter is 30.4mm, which - yes - you won't find a dropper for. However Cane Creek and numerous chinese knock off brands make an adapter that will convert 30.4 > 28.6 or 27.2, for which there are loads of options.

8:49 As someone who sells bikes for a living, it's better to have external cable routing for mountain bikes, especially lower end. There's literally no downside. It's cheaper, easier to fix the crappy parts that come on them, and easy to upgrade or remove.

External cable routing is the best option if you are going to work on your bike yourself. Especially with hydraulic brakes. Internal cable roughing is a gimmick that makes your bike worse. Only exception is if you put the bike on chairlifts. Then getting the cables out of the way is good for durability.

Great video for someone like me new to mountain biking. I got sticker shock when I learned how much a good bike costs... so I purchased a used 2012 Kona Mahuna during the pandemic from a used bike shop in Virginia that was in like new condition. I couldn't believe how mint condition it looked for its age and it had decent components. I don't even think the previous owner rode it much I had been searching EVERYWHERE for a quality bike! It was my first quality mountain bike after trying two from Amazon that were pure garbage. It was also my first time experiencing hydraulic brakes and trigger shifters... I was totally hooked! I had started watching every KZbin video I could find about how to find and maintain a quality bike including the Berm Peak channel. I was not going to make the Amazon mistake a third time. That 2012 Kona rode better and felt smoother than a brand new Trek X Caliber 8 that I tried a few weeks ago. I was able to sell my old Kona in less than a week and I purchased a brand new Kona Mahuna with Shimano components two weeks ago in gloss plum (purple) that is absolutely stunning when it comes to frame design and color.

I got the Polygon Xtrada 6 at the beginning of this year. (I upgraded from Giant Talon 4). Everything about the bike is great for the trails I like to ride. It is a very grounded, stable bike and definitely worth the money. I think I got it on sale for $699 or something. Bikes Online actually forgot the box with the QR skewer and pedals, but I sent one email, and they sent all the stuff I was missing and more in about 2 days. One thing you left out from the video, which is a weird detail, is that this fork actually has rebound dampening! On a coil fork, which is really weird, but there is a very noticeable difference between min and max. All I need for it now is a dropper post, which is 27.2mm. All in all would recommend getting this bike 👍👍

Wow I didn't know Kona Lava Dome was still in the catalog. Back around 1994/1995 I was a teenager and mowed lawns, washed cars and saved all my birthday/xmas money. Saved up $747 after a year or so and bought a white Kona Lava Dome with RockShok Quadra forks, Kona A / B drive tires, Kona race light seat post, stem and bars all from memory. I knew the catalog on that thing as I couldn't wait to afford and buy it. Talk about being in shape back then, I would ride that miles just to hit the trails and then ride home. I was a surprised to see Lava Dome in that list and clicked the link right away. 25yrs later I still lightly ride from time to time. Bought a newer hardtail a few weeks back. Cannondale Cujo 1 2019 for $320 and almost like new. Still need to figure how to raise the seatpost without the dropper no longer working. (figured it out, just had to push same cable house more into the frame up top and pull a little more out near the crank to give slack for the dropper to be able to be raised up)

Aluminum frame, 29in wheels, Logan Hydraulic brakes, Shimano 16 speed transmission. Had it for a month and love it so far. Would love to see someone who understands more about MTBs review it.

I did this exact shopping a few months ago. I was looking for my 14 year old son a good hard tail that could take some abuse and be a ton of fun, and be upgradeable. I ended up catching a great sale from Salsa. I bought him a Rangefinder for a little over $600. Advent X shifting, with MASSIVE 27.5, 2.8 Maxxis tires. Tekro hydraulic brakes. Tapered head tube. 120 mm XCM fork with lockout. Internal routing and ready for a dropper post. Needless to say my kid has had an absolute blast on this bike. It could have easily made the number 1 spot on this list for the price, however the price is back to $899 right now. Seems to go on and off sale frequently.

Don’t get me wrong, your list was perfect. Especially considering that the Salsa went back up in price. I looked closely and considered every bike on your list. I was practically calling the next bike up and several times I was correct. Ha! I actually just ordered a Norco Storm 4 for my oldest son. He’s not an avid biker but if he chooses to start trail riding, the Storm should be easily upgradeable. He just needs a good capable commuter for college next fall. Oh, and one last detail about the Salsa… the fork is a through axle, and my LBS assembled and sold it to me for the Salsa sale price. Now I have a new relationship with that shop. In fact they are dropping Kona, because they are going direct to consumer so there’s no money to be made on that brand. Instead they picked up Norco! And yes, once again they gave me the online sale price. My Storm 4 should be here any day now. I’m super stoked. Just wish the storm had a tapered head tube. That would have made it perfect. But, I didn’t want a Walmart bike, and $450 used or new was my absolute cap for a commuter mountain bike.

The only bike I would pick is the Polygon xtrada 6 because of the geo and the one by. I wouldn’t wanna start out without that again.

My wife has the Storm 1, and it's fantastic. The cheaper versions are still excellent value bikes. I was so impressed, I bought their Fluid HT1 for myself!

hol up. walmart, in most markets, use a 3rd party assembler. it's not better, to be fair, because we get paid per bike, and most mechs cut corners on the job. but dont throw shade on walmart employees. to put a dropper on a kent, you have to shim a 27.2 to fit. and the kent comes in a medium(small really) and a large(medium more like) i've had both in my shop the ozark fork sucks. name brand fork with no lock out is sus. props on the acolyte drive train tho. But how to you drop shade on walmart bikes, but dont mention the Axum Comp X? not to bash on the xtrada. ive owned and loved the 7. but the phrase that irks me is " you cant get that from walmart" again. axum comp x. 1x. agressive geo. solid fork. clutch. and unlike any other sub 1k bike. a factory dropper post. heck, ii'll put the old axum dp over pretty much everything on this list, with its factory "Axe" drivetrain
