Mountain Bike Reviews: Get It Right Before You Buy It

There are a number of brands of mountain bikes available on the market. You can detect that in general the price goes up as the number of features of the bike increases. Previously the most predominant sales booster in this category was word of the mouth publicity. But now with the internet allowing the users freely to express their views, the cyber world is filled with a number of mountain bike reviews. You can find a number of websites that allow bike owners to write about their bikes. If you want to read reviews about a particular model of bike, then it is better to search for reviews about that particular brand of bike.

The down side of online mountain bike reviews written by owners is that such reviews tend to be highly subjective. Those reviews will either scream the benefits and good features of the bikes or cry about the negatives and poor features of the bikes. So, it is better to rely on reviews written by experts and editors of adventure sport magazines. Such experts write reviews after testing the bike for various factors and performance of individual components like handle, frame, and wheels.

Some of the popular brands of mountain bike you can search reviews of are Santa Cruz's Chameleon, Rockhopper series and Schwinn Mesa
