Fuji Nevada 3.0

FUJI
Nevada 3.0

$449

Entry level mountain bike for dirt road and light trail use.

Notable features at this price	Good looks, a spring fork with preload adjustment for different rider weights, and the increased durability of the threadless head setup are all upgrades over cheaper, wannabe bikes.
Hardware overview	Aluminum frame, SR Suntour SF-M2025 50mm travel fork. Shimano Acera level, 24sp EZfire drivetrain, 36 stainless spokes per wheel.
Why we like this bike	We've chosen this bike over the comparably-priced Fisher because that maker has inexplicably chosen to offer rim brakes instead of the much more sensible cable disc brakes on this bike. The Nevada 3.0 is our least pricey bike with discs, a must-have for northern New England glacial silt and sand.
Who is this bike for?	Lightweight trail riders, and "light trail" riders. A good choice for kids and for people who don't put their bikes through much pounding.
Sizes available	13,15,17,19.5,20.5,22,24 in.
