I Am New To Trials Biking And Need Help On What Bike To Buy.

[inspired trials]

hello i am new to trial's biking and i am not sure on what bike to buy?

i have recently decided to start freestyle and street riding as after my jump bike frame snapped and i want to start this (i am used to riding 24").

i have about £500 to spend on a bike and want a reasonable quality one (i would be willing to build one if you know of good part's).

please post any links or names of bike's/frame's and parts that would be suitable?

if you can extend your budget a bit, the Inspired Element is big value and rides extremely well. Deffo worth considering.

For your £500 budget the Onza Zoot is also a good buy, good geo, most parts are pretty good too (if a bit heavy).

Those are the only two I would be looking at though.

if you don't mind you can go second hand go for that you'd have to wait until you are validated to buy off here but there might be a few on ebay and other such sites but the onza zoot is a good starter, also even though you are used to 24 it doesn't mean you couldn't try a mod or stock but if you want to ride more bmx moves stay with the 24.

i know the inspired bikes are good as i am a huge fan of danny macaskill

but the inspired element is £900 isnt it?

I think the Onza Zoot is your best bet, good spec, looks good and rides pretty well (I'm not to much of a judge though, only rode it once or twice).

There's also the Ashton Effect but you'd probably want to change bars, stem, brakes, gearing and hubs after a while.

i am going for the onza zoot as the inspired element is to much for me at the moment.
