UMF HARDY 4

I’ve had an Merida couple of years ago, and it had good strong frame. I didn’t tested a Scott ? How it is ? Is Scott better ?

Thanks.

what are you planning to do with it?

[being cautious edit]

I want to use for dirt/street.

I searched Google, but I couldn’t find and reviews for comparing this 2 bikes.

Some better components on the Hardy, at least its got Alivio vs Acera but both got XCM forks which are frankly rubbish.

Yes ideed, but regarding the frame geometry who is better for street ?

Probably the scott, but neither seem ideal.

Do you have a decathlon near you or even online decathlon. The subsim is pretty cheap and looks more suited.

Or this for even less

If it were me, I’d probably get an Octane One Zircus frame – £160 – bang on a ‘Zocchi DJ fork and build it up from there using bargain but good bits, 1×9 ditch the front mech. Cost a more but would be your own choices. But then I’m a 61 year old fat bloke so what do I know? 🙂

That SUBSIN looks ok, but I think the frames from Scott and Hardy are more durable.
