Hi guys looking to buy a new bk got up £500.

Can any recommend a good all rounder on the market at the moment?
Mostly be using it for trails and a bit of down hill actions. Be off a newbie to this.
Thanks Craig

Depend on what you mean by 'down hill action'.

All bikes can be ridden down hills, but you won't get a Downhill bike for £500, despite what a myriad of eBay adds claim!

I'd assume he means riding down a hill, off or on road.

Evans link is broken....

The RR520 is a very good bike, much recommended.

Evans link works for me but the bike is rubbish.

CALIBRE TWO TWO from go outdoors gets really good reviews.

My friends have had the halfords boardman brand bikes and they went pretty much anywhere.

Your £500 hard tail will go anywhere you want if you have the skill to ride it.

The Rookie

Yes, but different bikes are better suited to different types of riding.....

The Boardman range are good value
