Just saw this over on MTBR

Looks like Intense is putting out a complete (and a totally sick build at that) for a damn good price. Which got me thinking of bikes that get you the best bang for your buck.

Seems like the Glory DH is up there, as is the Mongoose Boot'R... Surprised to see one from intense, but thats super sick. Any other bikes I'm missing?

I'm pretty set on my own bike, but stoked to see more nice completes out there for less then 6000 dollars, especially since I'm trying to get friends in to riding.

Not really interested in the used market TBH

Do you think $6000 is where affordable begins.......?

I think deals can still be had be building up from a frame with internet bargains for well less than this package. But it is a nice option for a lot of people. I'm guessing we'll be seeing a lot of these around next year at these prices.

True dat double true. Plus you could choose the exact parts you want on the internet. And price matching is your friend.
