What bike?
« on: June 09, 2014, 08:07:27 PM »
Hello all,

I'm in market for a full suspension bike have 3 to chose from:
1: http://www.vitusbikes.com/mountain-bikes-2014/escarpe-275-vr-2014
2: http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-gb/bikes/model/2014.giant.trance.27.5.4/15002/66616/
3: http://www.canyon.com/_en/mountainbikes/bike.html?b=3281

So at this moment I'm riding Cube analog for last two years, mostly home tracks Ballinastoe and Ticknok. I'v bin in few others N.I. and Ballyhoura never riden the black parts, as far as I know they are more technical. Would like to get opinion from experience raiders, which bike from above suit me best. Would Canyon 120mm travel enough to up-skill, do bigger jumps and hit trails little bit harder. Is it really Giants fork is not the best, and do the Vitus frames still brake.

Thanks.

This is a lot of bike for the money, more of an enduro bike

I agree thats a great bike for that money... out of the others I would be thinking the Canyon alright... but if you could beg borrow or steal the money get the above bike for €1999 it will last much longer anyway...

I would pick Canyon ( have Canyon Al 29 7.9 myself  :-* ) Better specs than others for money and price is good too. But I think for extra 300E you would get even better specs :) Maybe it`s not a mega enduro machine but a good all-rounder for sure.
