I've been wanting to do more MTB for a while. My 94 Trek 870 is a bit out of it's league these days so I've been looking around. The terrain around here is mostly flat and swampy, there are often ravines and drops in the woods but no real long climbs. This is a pine forest area so there are always lots of roots and stumps mixed in with cypress knees and thick brush. I guess it would be described as technical. Being in NC I will also have hilly/rocky trails via a road trip/camping weekend.
Is dual suspention or a hard tail best for this type riding? I'd like to keep it around $1,500 (or less) so any suggestions would be great.
