First downhill bike.

[TheHighlander]

As above,

Just recently in the past month got back into biking. Been in the Highlands there's plenty of trails/tracks to be ridden and a few very good ones behind my house.

Currently own a Carrera Vulcan which is decent for the trails but not tough enough for the more downhill orientated tracks.

Any suggestions on what to upgrade to? Not looking to spend too much and don't mind buying 2nd hand as it will get damaged at some point.

I did think about building my own full sus bike but don't know a great deal yet about downhill ect.

Hi Buddy,

Maybe a proper downhill is not for me then.

Not going to be tackling full on competition style tracks yet if that makes sense.

Some with full sus that I can cycle to the trails so not a single crank.
