I am looking to get back into cycling again. Primarily I'm looking for something that is a prime performer off road on trials etc.. Any recommendations my budget is Max 500 pounds. Thanks in advanced. ;D

Yeah i was pondering this one, the only thing that makes me hesitant is the fork. It's subpar in comparison to the 2012 model which is air pressurised as apposed to spring coil. Hmm

Yeah the fork is not as good (I have the 2012 model) but the spec still makes it well worth while. The frame makes it a lot of fun for the money.

I see you can get £40.00 off the bike if you order it online (£40 off £400) and if you spend £600, you can get £60 off.

I'd be tempted to push the boat out a little and get the Bizango for £600 less £60.

You get the air forks as well.

I must admit i was looking at the bizango myself- seems the best bargain for buck. Quite right too, the forks are there. This is a serious contender!


Castiel:
Cheers for you're input. I previously had a rockhopper and they are excellent bikes. But i am thinking that this Bizango may have just trumpt it price wise ;D
 
The MBR review says all you need to hear - http://www.mbr.co.uk/bikes/voodoo-bizango-29er-review-2013/

Verdict

It’s rare that we test a bike that totally wipes the floor with the competition, but that’s exactly what happened with the VooDoo Bizango 29er. Thanks to the superior performance of the Suntour Raidon fork, a no-holds barred spec and an attitude that screams ‘bring it on’, the VooDoo isn’t just better than its £600 rivals, it bests most of the £1,000 hardtails too. Fast, fun and up for anything, it poses the tricky question: why spend any more when a £600 hardtail is this good?
