It doesn’t matter what you ride, it’s the fact that you enjoy riding it and it works for you. ---

There is no such thing a good full suspension for under 1K, and even then they get awful shock and rear spring setups, and the component group suffers to meet a price point. If I were you look at some of the more aggressive hardtails and start test riding them. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/my-new-workshop-in-progress/202063.md?page=2)
