All prices and availability are subject to change.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If never ridden a hardtail, or if it\u2019s been a while, now is a good time to pick one up. Today\u2019s modern XC and trail hardtails have more relaxed geometry and wide, large-volume tires do a great job taking the sting out of bumpy trails. With these picks you\u2019re getting a solid platform to start, with funds left over to upgrade components down the road. <\/p>\n

Also be sure to check out the deals we found on other bikes this week, including full suspension, fat bike, and gravel picks. There\u2019s also a bonus shoe and pair of sunglasses below!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
