HARDTAIL dirt jump bike?

Question

i want a hardtail bike like a kona but cheaper around 600 or 700 canadian it doesnt have to be as good as a kona but i want it for big dirt jumps.

Answer 1

If you want to go big,then you need an fsr.I grab big air with my Specialized hardrock,and it holds up pretty good,but I've had to have the wheels trued every other week,and I bent the seat post when I landed a 6 foot drop off.a hard tail really isn't meant to take big hits....despite your skill level

Answer 2

Get a Jamis Komodo 1 or 2. The 1 is more of a freeride hardtail and its about $650 aus (i've got one). the 2 is a Dirt jumping bike but it cos a couple of hundred more
