United Dominate Mtb - Excellent for Newbies

This United Dominate bike really good value for money. With a price of RM2,700, you will get almost full set of Shimano Deore components plus a SLX rear derailleur.

This bike comes with Rock Shox XC 28 coil fork. If you don't like it due to the weight, change it to a lighter air fork.

I my opinion, once you buy this bike, you don't have to do any upgrades for now as the accessories given are already very good. The only thing I will upgrade later will be the suspension fork and the frame.

Norco Team 9 XC 29er - Carbon

I saw this bike at KSH Juru. This 29er bike caught my interest because the price is quite reasonable. This bike frame is made of carbon fibre and comes with Manitou Tower Air Fork. 

The drawback is that this bike comes with 27 speed instead of 30 and the gearset is mixed of Shimano and SRAM. But with a price of less than RM5,000. I don't think there is much to complain.

However, if you want a 29er bike with carbon frame and a good suspension fork, this bike is a good choice. The groupset can be changed later if you are not satisfied.
