Best Mountain Bikes for under £1,000

There’s not a massive amount in the world you can get now for £1,000, but you can still get a fantastic quality mountain bike - capable of getting you well and truly off the beaten track for adventures and exercise. 

Bikes within this price range are typically for customers looking for their first, second or third bike - and our range of mountain bikes for under £1,000 are all hardtail mountain bikes. Whilst some bike retailers offer full suspension bikes under the £1,000 mark, we do not. The reason for this is simple, we cannot be confident in the build quality and long term performance of full suspension bikes under £1,000 and in our experience, those looking for a bike at this price point should always sacrifice rear suspension, in favour of a top quality hardtail mountain bike, which provides brilliant performance. 

This type of mountain bike have always been incredibly popular, and hardtail mountain bike offers a true do it all machine. These bikes are at home heading down trails, as much as they are on the daily commute. High quality components at this price point, also ensure that these bikes provide a reliable riding experience for years to come.
