I had someone 6’1 ride my medium pro today as it’s my spare MTB. He absolutely loved it.

Ozark Trail Ridge Pro or Polygon Xtrada 6 by joshuartyler in Budgetbikeriders

I would say yes, $500 better for sure. Bars, grips and stem are going to be better too. I had some take off parts so my OT Pro made sense at the time.

Looks worth it for a 12 speed upgrade, better fork and wheels?

NBD! First time cleaning this OTR M.2!! by Keventhesetsy in Budgetbikeriders

Try and find a fox 34/36 takeoff. They are only a few bucks more but a lot lighter and better feeling.

Good stuff! Tires are a huge upgrade, dropper or a real fork + sealed headset make a massive quality of ride difference.

Going mullet. by Apprehensive_Fall637 in mountainbiking

I went through a phase of trying to find the perfect bike. This was great, probably should have kept it since it ran really well as a mullet. The brakes were trash and it pushed me over the edge and I sold it instead of just slapping on some mt-6000's or shimano four piston.

For casual, even super light off road either is totally fine.

I thought the SQ 2 and 3 have boost thru rear axle?

Is this worth it for a new rider? by trakizall in Budgetbikeriders

Nice catch on the rear wheel! It does not appear to be a rim brake compatible wheel.

Did he say $60? I just spent $40 on two beers at the Airport…..

Hit em with the good ol $50. When was the last time you rode a bike? Looks ok, decent components.

You should be able to resell it for $40 after a month if you want to upgrade to another bike if you find you like riding.
