I am very rough on my bikes. I don't do one thing in particular. Though I don't really do downhill a lot. I have mostly decided on a hart-tail for this reason. I want something very tough but the best quality for the price. I am looking in the 500 range. I have looked at getting the new Cannondale F7 but cannondale rolled back the release date and I cant wait that long. I definitely want disk brakes and shimano components. And I would prefer the front fork to have at least 100mm of travel but I don't really know that much so I would like a little help. I'm tired of wally world bikes that have warped rims after 1 week. What should I look at. Thanks.
Best bang for my bucks

well if you're looking for a "tough" bike you may need to go up in price....bikes at the $500 price level typically aren't that durable...oh and welcome to RM...D
Like BMXman said, you may have to go up in price a little. Does it have to be new? There certainly are a lot of quality used HTs out there that fit your bill.
My suggestion would be to go used, you can get a ton more bang for your buck using this route. I don't know if kidwoo still has his doc for sale, but find kidwoo on here and if his bike is still for sale it'll be in his sig. He was selling for around $600, and thats a freaking awesome deal.
edit: He might be adjustable with the price, but if you could swing the little bit of extra cash for this bike, it would suit you great.Click Here for bikey
