Mountain bikes can offer a confusing selection and combination of options, so how do you know what to buy? Well that's why Bicycling Magazine introduced ride before you buy events where you can test ride bikes before you lay down your hard earned cash.
There are so many options of bikes with different geometries and fitted with all sorts of combinations of equipment. The only way to really know if this bike is for you, is to take it on a decent test ride, more than just a cruise around the parking lot. The good bike shops should also be able to offer you a test bike to try out for a day or two, ask them about this.
Bike demo days may be new to South Africa but have always been a big favorite at Eurobike and Interbike shows. Average guy was at Eurobike demo day and rode the new Giant Anthem, Lapiere Spicy and carbon Specialized Epic, check out his views on these bikes and SRAM XX.
