Looking for Insight on Mountain Bike Purchase?

Question

I am looking at buying a new mountian bike. I am looking at the Trek 4500 or 4600 series bike. Is that is good bike. I will ride it more on bike paths and trails than actual heavy duty off-roading, but I'd like this to be the last bike I buy. I've been riding a Mongoose that I bought from Wal-mart but it's worn out so I'm looking to upgrade. Is this a good model for daily use. I've started riding 20 to 25 miles 4-5 times a week. Thanks

Answer 2

If you are riding distances like 20 to 25 miles on paved paths, a road bike with skinny wheels would be a better choice because they are lighter and capable of higher speeds.
