YMMV--Costco Wholesale: 27.5" Northrock XC27 Aluminum Mountain Bike $250.00 In-Warehouse
$250.00
$339.97
Today I was in a Costco in Central WA state and picked up the Northrock XC27 mountain bike marked down to $250.00. The store has 4 more on the floor.
It took me about 30 minutes to assemble it. So far I'm really impressed.
For more info on the bike, check Costco's website. Obviously I paid less in store.

Just a reminder that .00 prices at costco indicate a manager clearance price that only apply to that specific warehouse...

Note: agree with the review, I do like this bike as well.
If you fit a Kent Trouvaille, it might be a better deal even at a little extra cost.

Are they both basically "Bike-shaped-objects" as the condescending ones like to call them? Or is one better than the other?
I know one is hybrid, the other is mtb ... but in terms of value... is one a better value?
Seems cheaper for manufacturers to use simpler, less gears too. Why do all the cheap bikes with 21, 24spd and you need to spend more for less?

That's why I'd advise it even at a little extra cost. You get more out of the box including a single speed that is easier for non-mechanics to maintain, and then you get a better future platform as you said.

A 3x8 has way more gear range than a budget 1x9.
You can get a super low gear for hill climbing, but you can still get going 20+ mph while keeping rotations per minute low. On a single speed you'll usually retain low end power for hills, but you lose the top end.
Another pro of 2x and 3x drivetrains is that you can drop into a lower gear while going up a hill. With a 1x you either have to shift before a hill, or you have to surge forward, coast, and then shift. Otherwise, a 1x will do a crunchy shift and significantly wear the drivetrain.
As for manufacturing, 3x components are very cheap. Square taper bottom brackets are arguably more complex than modern bottom brackets, but they are still cheaper because they've been around forever. The tooling has been paid for many times over.
