Hello guys,
Another newbie here, just about to buy my first XC MTB and want to keep it on the cheap side until I get my skills up and know I’m going to stick with it before spending some big cash. So last weekend I went to my local Trek dealer to grab a Top Fuel 5 just to get me started and they really pushed me towards a Focus Thron 6.8 instead, as they had no stock in my size I walked away with no bike and now I’m not sure what bike to order? This was my third attempted in the last 6 months to buy a bike as the first two shops only wanted to sell E-Bikes.
I’m from Mudgee NSW and go 4WD/camping in my local Nat. parks about 1-2 times a month so most of my riding at the start will only be on old fire trails around the central west and not planning on doing any extreme downhill stuff any time soon.
I would love to hear any feed back on the Focus Thron as i can't find any reviews anyway from actual owners.
Cheers.
