Cannondale 29er Flash 1 vs. GT Zaskar 29er pro

[Bat-ass]

Debating between these 2 bikes?? Priced about the same..

 

The Cannondale 29er flash 1 has some wow factor with its Lefty fork, SAVE seatstays.. bla bla.. But mixmatch specing with Sram X7/X9/FSA crank (2x10) and Avid elexir R brakes?? Also "Bicycling mag" review say lefty needs TLC???

 

GT Zaskar 29er pro has full X9 (2 X 10) spec, no mix match, Formula RX brakes, Fox fork..... So component spec better, but????

 

I'm currently on a Giant ETC 29er.... Anybody had experience in comparing the ride between all these bikes.

Based on the spec, I would go with the GT.
