so could u plz post the kind of bike,weight

ie.20lbs or so,30lbs or so ect.

and ups and downs like- its a light ride but suspension suks

Answer 1

Scott has some cheap ones, decent frames but mediocre components. stay away from rockshox and suntour front suspension. Marzochi is the standard and the best. with the "DJ 2" being a great fork. Not the best, not their low end either.  In that price range, your best bang for the buck is either a Giant STP, Cannondale Chase (what i ride, no complaints whatsoever) and a Specialized P-series.
