Hi there

 

Im looking to upgrade my hard-tail (fairly entry level) to a decent full suspension all rounder.

Im looking for something affordable that is good on trials and XC.  I enjoy the odd small jump, and some technical stuff -  but nothing too crazy, i mostly enjoy carving up trails and getting some air when I can. I recently did my first race (Nissan trail series - Buffelsdrift half - 40km) - was good fun, but found it quite uncomfortable on the hard-tail... Am planning on doing my first berg and bush later this year to.

 

Anyway, the more research I do the more it seems like I need an 'all mountain' bike

 

Im currently looking at the Scott Spark 960 and the Merida 120 600.. do any of  you have any views on these ?  It looks like I can pick up the Merida for a better price at the moment, but it seems the Scotts are more popular ??

 

Any other bikes in the 20 - 30k price range i should be looking at ?
