Previously known as Novara, the sub-brand produced some solid affordable bikes, but didn\u2019t have much market traction. Over the past few years though, the overhauled in-house brand started making more mountain and adventure models and upped their specifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Co-op Cycles offers several versions of their well-known DRT model, ranging from $599 for the entry-level option to $3,000 for the top-tier full-suspension DRT 3.2. Backed by the reputation and industry influence of REI, Co-op Cycles can affordably source quality parts and materials, resulting in lower prices for the customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re new to mountain biking or looking for an affordable upgrade, Co-op Cycles is the right place to find a quality MTB at a competitive price. Their bikes won\u2019t have the latest and greatest tech, but the attractive price tags could leave you with some money left over for accessories. Although it\u2019s not a stand-alone brand, I couldn\u2019t pass up on including Co-op on this list because of the outstanding value for the money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n |
