Best mtb tracks in Australia

Australia has a wide range of tracks:











Ansto trails in Menia Australia


this isn't a trail for beginners since there is insane short technical sections and arduious climbs.







Big Hit downhill in Batemans Bay:



this is a great downhill trail catering for most levels of riding. This is a fast track not that
technical though.




















Stromlo Forest Park



This is a terrific XC with some great downhill tracks catering for all skill levels.

Forks

whether it be Fox, Rock Shoxs, dt swiss or marzocchi from $200 - $2000+ ranging from XC to downhill forks

Hardtails, the perfect mountain bike for a beginner although, there are hardtail mountain bikes for more advanced riders.

many manufacturers offer recreational mountain bikes one of my favourites is the Norco Scrambler it features :

SR XCT V2 with 100mm of travel.

Tektro IO Mech disc 160mm.

Shimano Altus Rear derailleur.

Merida One-Twenty TFS 700-D review

Merida's One-Twenty TFS 700-D is a mid priced, mid range full suspension Trail bike. With 120mm of travel it makes the perfect first full suspension mountain bike. At Merida they have made a few compramises by down grading things like the rear shock to X-Fusion and the forks to SR Epicon LOD 120 in order to upgrade the drive-train to XT components.
