What type of mountain bike should I get?

I am a good rider and want to have a bike capable of doing downhill mountain biking. I also want to be able to do cross country mountain biking without buying multiple bikes. I think that the bike I would need would be in the "all mountain, duel suspension" type of bikes, but are there other categories of bikes more suitable to my needs? Also what brand and/or model bike would I be needing to get?

Just to clarify, what do you ride now, it may be English isn't your first language, but that post doesn't come across well.anderzoho wrote:I am a good rider and want to have a bike capable of doing downhill mountain biking.

Bikes which are good for cross country are not good for downhill. Whatever you get will be very compromised. I have tried one bike for everything and I wouldnt recommend it. I regularly broke it riding downhill and it was far too heavy for cross country.
How did you get to be a good rider without spending enough enough time around bikes to even know which brands are good or even what type of bike you need?Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350 -

It's pretty easy to understand, he just needs to tell us how much money he wants to spend. Why do you think his first language isn't English - is his punctuation too good?Specialized Roubaix Elite 2015

No the English is over formal (for me) such as 'would I be needing to get' when most would say 'would I need' or 'should I get'....it wasn't meant to be having a prod (God knows some of the English on here is dreadful, even mine (yes I know that is hard to believe - ;-) ) at times), it was just tring to figure if what he meant to say wasn't how I was reading it.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0

I thought that too Simon.
He's not been back though. Probably because I've scared him off. Don't think mods take too kindly to hints of sarcasm to first time posters.0
