Best Budget Full Suspension Mountain Bikes

So in our opinion here at Go and Cycle, a budget bike has only two major factors: low cost and capability. Now everyone's idea of budget varies greatly; some can afford the £10,000 +all singing, all dancing Ebike whilst others can’t or won't fork out that kind of cash for a bicycle. So we have decided to look at a range of bikes that we feel cater to the masses and are fully inclusive when it comes to the cycling community at large.

We love a bargain as much as the next person. After all we are only human, and now is the time to try and bag one of those so called bargains for yourself. As the cycling industry slams on its brakes and screeches to a skidding halt just before that metaphorical cliff, bike manufacturers met the high demand that the community required with the huge surge in purchases and prices skyrocketing in many cases now is the time to start thinking about buying a new bike at a reasonable cost.

Due to my Scrooge McDuck tendencies, I love it when a brand such as Polygon provides the community with a product that doesn't only look great but has up to date geometry and can keep up with some of the more expensive brands on the market. So from the D5 to the T8 check these best budget full suspension mountain bikes we have picked out for you from Polygon.
