2022 BEST BUDGET BIKE! $398 Kent Trouvaille Mountain Bike from Walmart

Hey brother! Informative video, although I'm not extremely knowledgeable about bikes so I don't necessarily understand the importance of some of the things you discussed. If I can give a brief explanation of my situation? So I'm 35 and good health all of my life until some very unexpected and out of the blue heart trouble that nearly took my life, put me on life support for a week, and in the end I survived but was left with a pacemaker/defibrillator permanently in my chest and unable to work or do much of anything too physical. A few months ago my doctor cleared me to do light exercise. Biking over everything is the one thing I can do while comfortably controlling and monitoring my heart rate. So I began biking and worked from doing 2 miles a day to up to 15-20 miles per day and it also helped me lose the 40lbs I'd gained by not being able to do much. I've fell in love with biking. I was riding a cheap Walmart bike that essentially fell apart piece by piece and is completely un-ridable with the back axle and gears being bent and several other issues. I can no longer ride and it's driving me nuts. I need a bike but have no idea what to get. I live in a fairly small town with no bike store and the bike in this video as well as a blue and green Kent called the Flexor are the only two 29" bikes my local Walmart sells, and I've seen bad reviews on the blue one, but if there's a far better option it may be worth ordering online instead of buying the Trouvaille in person. I'm 6'2" so I need at least 29" I think. I'm sorry for the long winded comment, but is this a bike worth buying or what would you suggest? If I'm being honest, even $400 is expensive to me right now but with how you talk in the video that seems like it's cheap for bikes. Is there something less expensive that's better? Or something comparable in price that is a better bike? I'm sorry for all of the questions. I just really miss riding and it's only been 10 days since my bike finally broke completely and I've been googling and trying to do research but I feel like I'm in the weeds and it's hard to find what is truly the best bang for your buck. Also, I was riding some trails but also some rural backroads on pavement if that makes a difference with the bike. I was previously riding a Walmart 29" Genesis BTB 15. Aluminum frame with Shimano pad brakes and the tires said Vitesse. Fairly inexpensive bike which is probably why it began falling apart after about 1000 miles. Do you have a recommendation on what you feel is the best budget bike, regardless if year? Would the one in this video be it, or is it only the best for 2022? Someone told me the Ozark Trail 29" is good too and I watched your video on that. Is the Trouvaille better than that? I'm sorry for all of the questions and the long comment. You just seem very knowledgeable and someone who would probably know best.

This one or the Axum?

What’s the best budget bike you have ever ridden?

What’s the better bike the Kent trouvaille or the Schwann Axum?

I bought a hardtail trail bike which costs around 1200 dollars and it came with Microshift Acolyte drivetrain and you're telling me that this bike has an Advent and costs 2 times less, man that sucks

Can you do a review on the Genesis Villotti?

Your videos, along with berm peak but mostly yours, were the deciding factor in me in purchasing this bike while I was deciding either the Trouvaille or the Axum. After a little over a month and a few upgrades I couldn't be happier with this bike!

Check the prices on the app at your local Walmart…I just picked one up for $148 on clearance.

This is a paid review beware

Looking for a good bike at reasonable price as foundation for an e bike. I'm 6'-5" and wondering if this one would be large enough in frame size.

I dont understand why they use internal routing on budget bikes… legit just holes in the frame, that is nothing sleak. Have nothing against full internal, but this is just not it 😢

Hi I’m an Alabamian also! I’m looking for my first mtn bike for around $500. I’m 5’10” which do you think is the best bang for the buck around $500?

I must admit for a big box bike the Kent is a great starting point .
The frame is great to upgrade .

I've got a trouavaille and I agree with it being the best budget bike of 2022...I'm actually impressed with everything that came on it

I spent a lot of time watching this channel and seeing your reviews and builds. After a over a year of watching, reading and learning I decided to pull the trigger on a new Diamondback Sync'r today for 50% off. I don't have the tools and know how to build a bike or diagnose and solve issues. I thought it best to buy a new already well spec'd and sorted bike and the holiday deals allowed that possible. But what I learned here and elsewhere helped make it a no brainer for me. Thanks!

Wish here in the True North our Walmarts carried the same rides as our southern neighbors.

Unfortunately Walmart or any affiliated bicycle brand would never collaborate. For many reasons.

Considering that the upgrades one might want to do is already included on the intrepid is the price what pushed the intrepid out from first place?

Could you compare it to the marlin 5?
