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.

MBR hardtail of the year 2013.

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
