I have looked through the forums and this hybrid section isn't very helpful. I either get a reply from a road person or a mountain bike person. I have a budget of $500 - $600.
60% (road, grass, path, gravel)
40% ( camping paths, roots, mountain paths )
probably 0 jumping or flying in the air. But definitely drop offs. And dropped off a curb with the roam locked and felt like dropping a ton of bricks so with it unlocked it felt nicer. But maybe the fatter tire would eat up the landing.
1st choice
Giant Roam - 2 (lock out road and suspension for light mountain
2nd choice
ATX 27.5 2 (change to all terrain tires, add 3" riser)
Make my mountain bike a semi road bike.
3rd choice
Giant Seek 3 (most what I read says u don't need a shock for gravel and light mountain and the fixed fork will be softer than a locked out suspension fork. Don't know if that's true.
Please shed some light on this as tons of people have asked but no real answers. Also yes I have test road them but I'm a noob so I don't know a lot of what I should be looking for.
