i like to just free ride but also am getting into downhill can >anyone suggest a bike within the price range of $800 to $1100
that is good for these types of riding

Remembering that most DH forks cost more than $1k, something
from Norco or Kona would probably be your best bet with that budget. Any bike can be ridden downhill, but not all of them will
last more than a month 🙂

Rebel have big specials at present, but not much left at my
local - I think it was 50% off bikes.

Otherwise you might be best looking at second hand - but
take someone who knows what to look for - second hand
downhill bikes are scary.
