IMHO, if you're riding stuff that needs a dropper you should probably be looking at better bikes than a $300 GT.

I bought the GT bike on sale at dicks for $300. It's an equal piece of shit. But add 170 on a new full shimano Cue 1x11 deivetrain from Ali express and you have a reliable bike. $35 for shimano...

If you are serious about hitting the trails and this bike's main purpose is just that, you might not be happy with the Tourney. This is NOT from my personal experience, but the general sentiment is...

Thanks man. I’m in the market for a mountain bike. I like to do 10-20 miles at a time. $800 seems a bit steep. Any other suggestions? Thank you so much. I think for the price and allowing me to...

Tourney is the lowest tier Shimano derailleur, typically found on department store/entry-level bikes. That's what this is, but for $480, it should have something slightly higher up the Shimano...

If you're only riding a few times a year on simple trails this will do. If you're thinking of getting into more regular single track riding then you'll want something better. Imo good "beginner trail...

I put one on a kids half bike, and it literally fell apart...on asphalt... unloaded.
There are countless...

You are comparing two entry level components and not one better than the other. YOur comments show you either don't ride mt, have never built a bike from frame up, or both. Arguing entry level rear...

Wheel size being a function of height is not the right take. The height change is only 1/2 of 1.5 inches, so 0.75 inches height change when swapping wheelsets. Sure, if you weigh a lot then perhaps...

None of those are a problem, except the 3x7.
Virtually every bike in this price range will have QR axles. QR had been in use for decades. You don't need boost, especially if you're shopping in...

I'm no expert, but the biggest problems I see are quick release(QR) axles, 27.5“ wheels, and 3x7 drivetrain.
Axles - QR allows the possibility of your wheel falling out when you're in mid air,...
