Best hardtail Mountain bike for $500-1000?

[crippen]

I got a buddy that is close to 300 who rides a 29r but he ain't taking any drops yet lol.

4-5' drops with a hard tail? Sounds like you need full suspension actually.

I don't like how it absorbs torque when climbing and don't have enough cash for a bike with good rear suspension.

Too bad you don't want a 29'er. I use to ride before I got into guns and the 29'er was still kinda new to the market. Once I got one I never rode anything but. A good set of light weight wheels and tubeless tires and I could climb hills like a goat. Best of luck!

Just saying that a hard tail might not be the best tool for the job. I know they make lockable suspensions now for mountain bikes. Might want to save up more so you can get something that is built for what you're looking to do. Just my opinion though.

You have a huge range in budget but for $1000 you can get something nice that's used. You might be able to get by with a hard tail around here if that's what you like. Most of the decision is personal preference. Hard to know what bike to reccomend without knowing what kind of riding you do.

I think I settled on the Cannondale catalyst 2
