When shopping around for a cross country bike, there are many things to consider -- riding style, comfort and, of course, budget. A wide variety of price points are available, depending on your riding and skill level. High end models ultimately deliver the best ride and are a worthwhile investment if you are a novice rider. Decide what your mountain biking preference is and compare brands based on customer reviews and from professionals at local or nationwide retail sporting good stores.
