Just wondering if any of you know what is the best time of the year to buy a new bike? Looking for a decent hard tail with front suspension for around $400, it' for my nephew. Thanks to those who reply.

Just whenever you have the cash. A 400 dollar bike is not gonna go down that much when the new models start coming out.

The best time to buy one is when you need it.

I'd say Fall is the trime to get a deal, as nobody wants to hold inventory over the winter. The best $400 dollar bike willl be a used one that somebody paid $1000 for.
