Save more with a budget on a fantastic mountain bike
Buying a mountain bike shouldn’t mean draining your savings — and it certainly doesn’t mean settling for a basic model that can’t keep up with your rides. Whether you're after a fast XC hardtail, a versatile Trail bike, or a robust Enduro machine, there are real off-road gems out there for less than €2,000.
Especially if you go for a refurbished high-end bike, fully inspected by expert mechanics and covered by warranty. From carbon XC rockets to capable full-suspension bikes made for descents and technical trails, the mountain bike market has never offered so much performance for so little.
In this article, we’ve rounded up the 10 best mountain bikes under €2,000 you can find in 2025 — all available as certified refurbished models on Tuvalum. Whether you're after a race-ready XC bike, a versatile Trail build or a rugged Enduro setup, these options offer the best value in their class.
