Help me choose a bike
Ok I am looking for a bike for around $600-$700 that will hold up and is fast. I will use it for riding around gravel pits and for screwing around on. I need it to be very sturdy because it's no fun doing more fixing than riding.
thanks!

$750 will get you a PitPro 125 - not sure about anything cheaper than that would be up for it

Keep in mind of course I don't live anywhere near a track and I would never go to one. The largest jump would be like my driveway anyone heard of these?

you should try and save a bit more and get either a pitpro or dhz maybe even a motospeed if you can afford it but 700 isnt going to buy anything decent.

i'm from USA and I think those bikes are manufactured from Apollo..... You really dont think they could stand up to the occasional 2ft high jump?

Ofcourse they would stand up. 2ft jump isnt that big, if your trying to jump anything above 1-2metres id get a bigger bike with a bigger frame.

Ok so it looks like I will be getting a pit pro. But just in case what are brands that would be ok for just screwing around on in case I stumble on a good deal?
