"Batch Bicycles sells a diverse lineup of bikes, including gravel, kids, mountain, electric, fitness, and cruiser models. And while the brand's bikes cater to a broad range of riders and riding styles, the common thread is affordable pricing across the board. And as most of us know, mountain biking isn't exactly an inexpensive sport, and the cost of new bikes is a significant barrier to entry for many. Which is why Batch's latest entry-level hardtails are worth checking out."
"The Batch Bicycles MB.1 and MB.2 are priced well below the thousand-dollar mark at $600 and $700, respectively. Neither bike is going to wow you with the latest tech or components, but both appear to be thoughtfully designed and specced for new riders to get out on the trails without breaking the bank. With 100mm of front suspension, clutched 1x drivetrains, and graduated wheel sizes, these bikes appear to be an affordable entry point to your future mountain bike addiction."
"Batch Bicycles describes the MB.1 as "the perfect intro to off-road riding." It is built around an attractive hydroformed aluminum frame, equipped with a 100mm Suntour suspension fork, and it rolls on double-wall rims with 2.35" wide knobby tires. The 1 x 8-speed Microshift Acolyte drivetrain has a clutch to help keep chainslap noise to a minimum, and it comes with mechanical disc brakes."
Batch Bicycles offers two very affordable hardtail mountain bikes, the MB.1 ($600) and MB.2 ($700), aimed at new riders and budget-conscious buyers. Both bikes feature 100mm of front suspension, clutched 1x drivetrains, and mechanical disc brakes to provide basic trail capability and reduced chain slap. The MB.1 uses a hydroformed aluminum frame, 100mm Suntour fork, double-wall rims, and 2.35" knobby tires, and comes in six frame sizes with graduated wheel sizes (26", 27.5", and 29"). The emphasis is on thoughtful, entry-level spec and fit rather than high-end components.
