hello, i'm new here & i'm from the philippines planning to purchase an entry level FS bike, & no.1 on my list is the KHS FXT '08 model. any advise or info about this bike you can share with me i would really appreciate it. for the price it cost here in our currency at 18,500pesos, that's around $380. thanks to all in advance.:thumbsup:
If you aren't too fussy about needing a dually, for the price you could get a much better hard tail that will function a lot more smoothly. I don't know how they ride, but their spec isn't too great. For the price, i'm sure it would do everything you expect but the cranks, fork and rear shock are quite poor on cheaper duallies. A mate of mine has a bike like that and the fork stopped moving after a ride in the rain. He ended up replacing it with a Rockshox Pilot SL fork.
If you aren't too fussy i would recommend a Mongoose Tyax (about $550 AUD) or if you really wanted a dually, go that little bit extra and get maybe a Mongoose Otero (about $750 AUD). It's really about price and personally preference but for a beginner rider i'm sure that bike could handle most obstacles.
Alright then. Just keep looking for the right bike for you.
