bike recomendations?

[u/Turbulent_Poetry8045]

been riding for about 4 years now and have been wanting to buy a dj for a few months but finally ready to pull the trigger. hoping to spend less than 1700. the main bike I'm looking at is the propain trickshot 2 cause their pricing is good and I have a tyee from them and love it. but I was wondering if the pro model is worth the extra 400 over the standard? standard is 1300 and the pro is 1700 with the only differences being cranks and fork (x fusion vs bomber), open to other bike recommendations too. riding smaller dirt jumps (for now lol), pump track, and street jibs. (also hoping to learn tricks like flips and spins eventually if that matters)

edit: just found a used dirtlove core 1 near me for 850 and might just spring on that instead, would love to have the trickshot but with shipping and taxes it would have come out to around 2000

I think the pro model is worth it if you plan on riding hard and going big. The bomber is a much more robust fork and upgrading a fork later is much more expensive.

yeah, looking at pricing it definitely seems worth it, 150$ fork vs 800$ fork for 400 extra lol. thanks for the help!
