When is the best time to buy a new bike?
Not sure to buy one now or wait for when the bike shops have their sales.
4K to spend. Thinking about the Ibis mojo HDR 650 B.

Thanks in advance.

    Generally the best time is after the season has ended and before Christmas, but at that price point there is likely to be less seasonal fluctuation in demand, so to be honest I doubt it will make much difference when you buy it unless you manage to get a last years stock bike after the next year has come out, and that date will be managed to minimise sales stock at that price point.

    The best time to buy is when you want to ride it.

    I wouldn't be hanging around if I were you, don't you wanna get out on those dry(ish) trails?

    Anyway, there's deals to be had all year round these days
