Hi

What is a good bike that is good all round?

Like good going uphill, downhill and just cruising the streets?

I am looking for a soft tail though

And that it's affordable:P

the giant glory isnt a soft tail and it wouldnt be very good for going either uphill or cruising the streets. considering that you cant wheelie, bunnyhop or stop making pointless threads i am shure that your current bike will be just fine for you...

I would look for something with 5-6 inches of travel and ive dh on my br 5.5 inches of travel , the only problem is it's a little heavy but I have no problems biking up hills , around town, or off jumps. Just set your suspension right and your good to go

Dude.... travel isn't that common to learn for a begginer that doesn't live in a mtb community.

And i was asking a question i wasn't asking how dumb people like you think i am.Really Mad

anyways look at a trek remedy, jamis parker, transition double, santa cruz heckler, giant trance or reign, specialized pitch... they are all good versatile bikes, and some are a decent price too.
