Hello Everyone.

Which one do you think better, Trek 3900 or Trek 4300 with disc brake for beginner?

Please help.

Thank you in advance

Obviously the 4300 is a better bike, but that's pretty obvious.

If you are considering spending that much I'd read through this first: https://www.bikeforums.net/mountain-biking/56148-around-500-mtb-thread.html

It'll answer a lot of your questions.

haha. Yeah, definately the 4300. Although, the 3900 did replace the 4100 which wasn't too bad either. I'd go with the 4300. But, if your budget is on the lower side, get the 3900 or look at Gt bikes such as the Gt Aggressor. Have fun choosing.
