Im looking at getting my first dh/fr bike. I have two options. Im not trying to go crazy and break the bank due to my wedding/honeymoon in 3 months and then buying a house before the year is up or a little after 2019. My local bike shop has a 2016 and 2017 scott voltage fr 730, both on sale brand new for 1499.99. Ive seen these bikes being sold at mt snow and killington used for a little under 1300. (rental bikes). On the other hand I can get a well maintained (id have to inspect it first to see but pictures look good), 2011 specialized big hit 1 for 500. It does have 26in wheels. I know most bikes moved up to the 27.5 wheels so that is that something to take inconsideration? I don't want to get a 26in bike and have a hard time finding wheels, tires and tubes. What do you think the better option would be to do? And if i decide to get the scott, I would rent one out for the day before spending the 1500.
The Voltage makes a ton of sense for a ton of people. There is a large group of riders that don't want to destroy their trail/enduro bike in the bike park and simply want a fun, functional, cost-effective park bike to smash around.
