This might be the wrong community to ask this but I’ll give it my shot. I already own a very good Trek bike but it’s an urban commuter. I want something that handle dirt and country roads just as good as a Jeep or Land Cruiser. I know mountain bikes are best suited for off-road scenarios but I’ve only ever used urban bikes and BMXs. Is there a brand that is revered by mountain bike enthusiasts in the same way that Jeep is to car guys? Thanks in advance.

    If you can summarize what you’re trying to do with a bike, it’d be a lot easier to recommend the right tool for the job. For most people, a front suspension mountain bike (hard tail) with 100-120mm of travel would do most things they want to do well. I highly suggest looking at the secondary market like pink bike, Facebook marketplace, and Craigslist.
