If you want to start the sport, you may want to start with getting the name right. If your looking for a trials bike then i would suggest an Onza t-pro. These are quite expensive at first for a begginer, but have a look out on eBay for a good deal. Hope this helpsBeans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant H Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 To be honest, 400 quid isn't really that expensive in this sport.I wouldn't advise getting a bike for 400 quid unless your sure that you like the sport.Have you ever riden other peoples trials bikes?And i also agree with the bumflapping of ALEX@BIKETRIALSFUN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just aren't worth it. The only half decent starter bikes are the Onza T-Pro/T-Comp, Zona Zip and the Monty 219 Alp/Magura. I would recommend that you don't buy anything unless it is on this list, (thats if you budget is less than £500). Nothing else is any good really, any cheaper and they are really heavy with rubbish geometry and parts.Have a look on tarty bikes: HERE. I would buy second hand, trials bikes depreciate like nothing else. I would wait and buy a better bike than buy a Saracen 2.0, I have ridden one. I won't be riding one again.What is your highest budget? Once we know that then we will be able to recommend further. If you can get £500 then I would get a Zona Zip, it is a really well made frame and give you a starting point to get upgrading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
