Suggestion Request

I am thinking to buy a mountain bike, my height is 5'6" and searching for Bianchi Kuma 26.1 or 27.1 or some suitable Scott bike. Which one is more suitable for me and estimated budget is US$ 500.

Hello Ko, welcome to the forums.

Take a moment to look around at the forum headings. There are loads of different interests and branches of the cycling tree represented among those topics. You may then note that your question resides in an area it really doesn't belong, in a couple of different ways.

In spite of this, search around at the other posters who have come and asked same/similar questions and you will likely get a feel for what to do.

Best

I do believe Monsieur Foote was trying to send you here (Mountain Biking - Bike Forums) but wanted to you to show the initiative of finding it yourself.

Because his answer might have seemed cryptic to a new member who just wanted some advice .... I advise you to go to the MTB forum for this question.

I mean no offense, M. Foote .... sorry if I circumvented your educational activities.

For $500, I would suggest looking for a used bike. https://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/ or kijij.
