A bike choice? Merida AM500-D or AM400-D? Others welcome?

Question

Hi I am the captain of my junior state team for road cycling, but am looking for a mountain bike to ride for fun and in the off season. Preferably a downhill full suspension bike around the price of the Merida AM500-D. I wasn't sure what is the jump between the AM400 and 500 and is it worth the extra money? Any other bike suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Answer 1

they are both nice because i have the am500 but the wheels arnt that good on them but if you have that money to spend on a bike buy a kona stinky they are good in every way
