Black, especially if using Rock Shox fork & dropper with fast black coating (all other components must then also be black), you'll gain immediate ninja status and be all ready for next years enduroTM colours.

Green. The seat post is too long on the black 😉

Seriously, green will look better on photos, which is the most important aspect of buying a new bike 😆

See...

black as you could probably colour co-ordinate better?

But I'd go green personally

Green if you want to take pictures of your bike or be filmed.

Green; decals don't look any good on the black one.

I'd go lairer- lairer- the better.

No neon choice? My matey has the neon neon and it looks good

Black is boring and this is meant to be a hooligan of a bike.

I liked last year's limeade, this is mine.

Black is just one end of a greyscale (as is white) and who (other than John Major) wants a grey bike ?

Got to be green!

The graphics on the black one look like something you'd see in Halfords. Unforgivable on a bike this high end!

Nice bike tough! Get the green! 😀

Green.

I would have said Black initially but I don't like the stickers either as per @binners, last years "limeaid" looks great too

Green.

Black is far too serious for an MTB.

Green, for sure.
The black looks pretty much the same paint job and graphics as my old £250 Carrera Crixus 'cx' bike.

Thanks all. I was leaning towards the green - think I'm going to go for it 🙂

Here's my Bandit just to demonstrate how important a bright colour is 😉

Has to be green, if it's anything like the green of my trans am it will be ace!

As an aside has anyone ridden a bandit and a scout, curious as to how they compare?

Cheers Jambalaya 🙂

One of the big selling points of that Mmm Bop frame was the fact it was unadorned with Ragley decals so I went off and made my own. Sadly it was nicked 3 years ago 🙁 Happily the Bandit is a much better bike 😀

When choosing a colour... it doesn't matter what it is, so long as its not black.
Everyone is on black at the moment, it's so common.

Plus when you drop you back bike in a flood you'll never see it again. A nice bright colour will stand out so you can rescue it 😉

I've got a green on order. I like the black, but I've got a white fork which I think will look better with the green. I realise this is unimportant, but at the same time, it is important!
