i know i can search!
i have searched and have a few in mind but i asked for some of your thoughts and some opinions on bikes!

[Roly]

it depends on whether you are looking at first hand or second hand...

1st hand - i would recommend a Norco Shore, Kona Stinky or Coiler, Giant Glory (one of the inexpensive ones)

2nd hand - if you are buying second hand you will be able to get a way higher specced bike. 2500 could get you anything from a Stinky Dee to a Santacruz...

[flying high dh killer]

If you want to buy a new dually then I'd suggest saving a little more and going with something like the Norco atomik. Your best bet would be to buy second hand though. If you're looking at ht then you have a lot of scope.

The new SC Bullit looks hot, having owned the older model I'd say they are nice freeride bikes and it looks like they have a better pivot system now.

[bikekid127]

norcos are the way to go.

[Mojo]

demo nine, you can pick some up at good prices, otherwise maybe a kona or something else that is heavy???

There is a section in the new AMB about FR bikes. Buy it and see!

a second hand sx 1, they are the ultimate. specialized all the way.

The atomik's geo is more suited to DH, you'd probably be better off with the equivalently priced Shore.

Whatever you get don't buy a stinky.

[mitchy123]

i like the norcos.

[ac_DHer]

yep you carn't go past the good old norco freeride range

[josh88]

another one for the norcos, they are a great bike.

[Nobi Wan]

Man if u lookin for a good FR bike just hit up the FOR SALE section and im sure u will find something worthy there... should be some good bikes in your price range! There was a mad banshee scream i saw in there not long ago. would be a perfect FR bike dude!

[Sam!!]

the shores go hard man,i have a shore 3 06,but changed it to a DH and it goess farkin good

norco and kona are prob the best freeride bikes

agree?

[Norcorider2]

Yes i agree 100% with that. love norcos and also kona.

but i will always stick with norco.

[l +Jarrod+ l]

Iron horse yakuza i would recommend, its right on the 2500 mark though

[p.leonardi]

Norco is way too heavy. I would say SC Bullit or VP Free
