Scott Spark Pro 29er vs Specialized Epic Elite 29

[FrancoisL]

I'm considering the above bikes and please need some advice. I will be doing XC races and riding around Klapperkop en Groenkloof. I'll be somewhere in first 3rd of the group. No aspirations for a podium finish.

 

Which would be most suited and how do they compare. Which will be the more relaxed set-up. Specifically if you are a Spez-recently-converted-Scott 29er I would like your opinion.

 

Kind Regards

Im between the same choices, my theory is you can't go wrong with the Spez the scott got good reviews the Spez as usual got great reviews, though the scott is more value for money initially.

 

However i like the lockout system on the scott, my deicsion will probably come down to how much money i have at the end of the month, A scott budget vs a Spez budget.

Im still having a tough time, good reviews on both of these bikes.
