TOP 10 BEST VALUE TRAIL BIKES OF 2023 / 2022

👇🏻 LINKS TO ALL THE BIKES DOWN HERE! 👇🏻
Welcome to my BUDGET FULL SUSPENSION TRAIL BIKES Buyer's Guide for 2022 / 2023. In this video, we go over what I consider to be the Top 10 Best Value Mountain Bikes with 140mm of travel or less. These are my recommendations and hopefully after watching this, you can make an educated purchase decision and get the most value for your money. The down country bikes on this list are not the cheapest bikes out there but in my experience, if you go too cheap, you end up wasting your money.

[@playgroundchooser]

I went with the Polygon Siskiu T8 for one big reason: at the time it was $300 more, but the Fox 34 by itself was a $500 upgrade from the Recon on the T7. Absolute no brainer on that one. 😁 A couple volume spacers, a faster rear tire, some tubeless valves, smaller chainring, and my own pedals are all I've done to my gorgeous purple beast. 🤘🤘

[@hirprimate941]

Me too I’ve had it for two years, still love it

[@buithuc2848]

Never having used a trail cam kzbin.infoUgkx2sTDdZXomuxedMg_HothfjSXjR3rpPkA before, I was very impressed with the quality of the images and videos. The sensitivity of the camera can be adjusted as well as the length of video recordings. Once I found the sweet spot, I was getting great clips of deer and other animals almost every day. I was worried about battery life but have been running off the same 4 aa batteries for over a month. The SD card is easy to remove and connect to a computer. I have a Mac, and the AVI files open natively in QuickTime and are easy to save and share. This is a great, budget-friendly trail cam.

@@junboo8730 sweet! You won't regret it! My old bike is so different in every way that I honestly can't tell you the difference bigger wheels make. It's a 2011 Specialized Hardrock Sport on 26" wheels. But I CAN tell you the Poly is better in every way except super sharp turns because the wheel base is 8" longer. But that's what I wanted because my old bike is super unstable at high speeds which makes jumping a bit sketchy.

[@TopToBottomMTB]

[@spacecowboy279]

thanks so much for the help - We relocated to North Alabama and my 11 speed Epic didn't have enough gear or tire to take advantage to the steep, rocky, and rooty riding around here. I picked up a new Polygon Siskiu T8 for me an found a lightly used Marin Rift Zone 2 for my wife. I'll report back in as we ride them more. This video did a good job of explaining the geometry and components. The road tests were also very helpful. By the way from what I can tell the new 12 speed Shimano Deore and better groupsets perform really well. I wasn't a fan of the 10 speed Deore, but the new 12 sped stuff is "bang on" fantastic. Next I need to read up on doing the tubeless conversion and setting up the shocks. - good times!

[@TopToBottomMTB]

Congrats! You’ll have a blast on those bikes!🤘🏻

[@jseski9209]

I picked up the T8...absolutely love it. It's a great ride at a great price. Other contenders for that top spot would be Ibis Ripley AF & the Fezzari Adobe Peak, but I went w/the Polygon T8, so far no regrets. (I have made a few changes for more personal preference: seat, pedals, grips; but the build kit was solid, no issues)

[@TopToBottomMTB]

AWESOME! Congrats on the bike! You’re gonna have a blast on that thing!

[@donnovicki4104]

I've had my Polygon T8 since Oct of 20 and love it. The components are mostly SLX, with the exception of the brakes which are Tektro 4 piston. I've never had a problem stopping and I've never had a problem with the chain like some folks, which makes me happy. Oh yea when it came out I jumped on it and paid 2299.00, I see it's now up to 2699.00 but even at that it's well worth it.

Great info! I have a 2013 Trance 29er and have had crap luck with my d link. Looking at upgrading with a couple options listed, found a used 21 Polygon T7 with upgraded fox rear shock and G2 brakes or go with a new Marin rift zone 1? Price is comparable but would have to drive for used option, is it worth going new over used for warranty?

[@danielperelman4765]

The polygon t8 is the best value. The suspension components are great. The drive train is great. Only upgrades needed are better rotors and metallic pads and the bike is perfect.

[@TopToBottomMTB]

Great minds think alike…👌🏻

[@lucasbhogal3790]

giant in this vid is the best: 4 piston and big rotors with steepest seat tube angle and upgradable components all the way (compatible with betters or Rockshox Upgrades)

Fun list. Hard to argue with the top end of the ranking. The bottom end is weird to me. The Kona Al Honga brakes are poopoo per Pinkbike’s test shoot out. If you are going to include an expensive frame with poor value spec, the new Rocky Mountain Instinct A10 would be my pick. New this year RM brought out their least expensive trim level ever. The frame is 10/10. How the Fezzari aluminum offerings missed this list is bonkers. The Abajo Peak or the more expensive version the Cascade Peak are pure value town. Marin consistently shocks me. Direct to consumer prices from a bike shop brand.

[@TopToBottomMTB]

True… these 2 genres are blending into each other as of late…

[@nlmatt]

Hey Ben, sorry for my negativity. In my opinion a downcountry bike is an XC bike with a little more travel. A 110 to 120 mm category. Like a SC Blur TR, or Orbea Oiz TR, etc. I ride an Ibis Ripley V4 at 120mm rear & 140mm fork. It sits in the same travel category as your list of bikes. I would not consider it a downcountry bike at all even though it is a very XCish Trail bike. 😁 I also ride an Ibis Ripmo V2 of which I would put in a somewhat new category, All mountain bike. It's a Trail bike that is almost an Enduro bike, but not quite. Overall, thank you for your efforts. People looking for a bike in the Budget category can really learn a ton from a well done video like this. Good information, comparisons, and valuable details. Thank you. 🤘🏼
