Upgrading from HT to full suspension. Help!
Hi all! I (35F) am new to mountain biking and have been riding a hardtail for the last year (Scott Contessa). I recently rented a full suspension (Norco Sight A3) while on vacation and feel convinced that it’s time to upgrade! But I really have no idea where to start when looking for a bike.
I ride flowy, technical, and some downhill trails and will definitely need something that can climb. I do not plan on hitting any significant drops or jumps.
Budget is not a huge concern, but I don’t want to overbuy either. Any tips for brand, style, etc. would be so appreciated!!
