What freeride / dh bike to get?
I am looking to get a freeride / downhill bike. I only weigh about 135lbs. I dirt jump on a Kona Shred and am very comfortable on a bike. I feel like having a triple clamp fork might be a little too much for me? I'm not sure though. I don't want a bike that is too heavy because I plan on doing a bit of trail (like XC) riding with it whenever I can, but I really just want a bike that will be perfect for some downhill trail riding at Highland Mountain Bike Park in New Hampshire (as well as other lift access mountains). I am going off to college in September so I am afraid that if I don't buy a bike now that I never will! Oh, by the way I live in Massachusetts and am probably going to go to school in Pennsylvania. I have been looking at bikes including the Specialized SX Trail and the Transition Dirtbag. Oh, and I'm 5 foot 10.5 inches tall. And I am planning to buy it used and do not want to spend more than say... $1300 on it? K maybe like.. $1500.. They are just so damn expensive! Please give me any advice you have and suggestions! Thanks for the help!
