And I might add that these are too expensive for very entry level components.

Why 1x11 when most of us that ride here in N. Cal/Tahoe/Moab/Auburn only use 3-4 gears and this is in the nasty stuff? The hype for high gear counts are a waste and lots to do about marketing where more is better..nope.
I was in Mike's Bike's (chain bike shop) and they are further dropping prices on their Specialized 2019 for Black Friday week. Even on sale now, the components are a big step up from Dicks (and their notoriously poor bike department).
Sample: this one will get down to $600.+ : https://mikesbikes.com/collection...rh-comp-29
Another with much better components, but $150. more and worth it: https://www.rei.com/product/14579...-bike-2019
Another (Cannondale) at $573.: https://www.rei.com/product/14579...-bike-2019
And this one at $673. kills the Dicks bike: https://www.rei.com/product/10633...rt-12-bike
With REI, you get the points back to purchase swag like a helmet, tubes, shorts, etc. and you will have free tunes for a year from a shop that knows what they are doing.
If $500 is someone's max to spend on a mt bike, save up another $100-$200 and get something with much better components and value.

All of those bikes cost significantly more money and still equipped with "entry level" Altus or Acera shifters and rear derailleurs.

Look, every SD thread can be debated that "if you just spend more you can get something better". But for fun lets pick through your comps...
Rockhopper Comp is currently priced at $729 and only available in greater bay area.
Cannondale Trail 6 is $205 more, not $150. Still has some entry level components.Good deal though.
Cannondale Trail 7 - Doesnt look like fork even has a lockout. EZFire shifters/Altus Derailluer (entry level).
Co-op Dirt 1.2 - $220 more. Only available in Small. No name Co-op branded wheel set (same argument you made with the Nishiki)
