go for the Marida ( with the Air fork)

[JACO MORNE]

I bought myself the scott 930 and im over the moon happy excellent quality and superb ride.

[bikebloke]

out of those three - buy the merida

on a hardtail the fork is what you buy and the drive train etc is about the same on all three so go with the best fork(which being an air fork is a kilo lighter than the others also )

[slickjay007]

Merida is my choice and might be the lighest

Thank you all

I had a Titan Sport 29er, and it was great. So go Titan IMHO.
