I’m selling my Pivot Mach 5.7. If you’re looking for a good full-suspension bike to start with that won’t cost you thousands, this is a serious option.

Pivot is a great brand, and this model has the legenday dw-link suspension. It’s super versatile—climbs way better than you’d expect and handles the downhill trails really well. It's an older model (from the early 2010s with 26" wheels), but it has some incredible parts on it that are still top-of-the-line.
