Hard Tail or Dual Suspension

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some advice please. I have a budget if 15k looking at purchasing a new bike - either a hardtail (new) or duel suspension (2nd hand)

Is it worth buying a second hand duel suspension or am I better off buying a brand new HT? I generally ride XC with not a huge amount of single track and what bikes would you recommend? I'm also 6ft7 so I'm guessing an XL is necessary. 

 

Thanks for the advice!

Trek marlin 5 if buying new 

 

Scott scale of buying second hand 

 

Rather stay away from 2nd hand duel suspension

Have a look at some 2nd hand hardtails. You can buy a much better bike 2nd hand for the same price as a new one. Dual sus bikes in the 15k bracket is not worth it unless you are willing to settle for an older model or even a 26"
