Hi guys been getting some advice of people on here and got my bike choice down to just a few unless someones throws some ideas into the hat

Its now between Genesis Core 26.3, Vitus Zircon 2 and On-one 456Evo but open to other ideas

Or if i can stretch the budget Genesis Core 26.4, Saracen Zen X, Boardman HT Pro, Vitus Zircon 1 and Ragley Piglet

Which one do you like the best?
As it'll be you riding it,then that's the bike you should probably buy.

not sure quite like the vitus as its the cheapest but dont know anything about them plus i cant test ride one, so more likely to be the genesis or on-one unless i get enough money to buy the saracen

To be honest, I think it would be hard to go wrong with any of them. I bought a long travel hardtop a few years ago, and cathoroughly recommend a 140mm hard tail. But then, my local trails are very steep.

Out of your list, I have to say that the Piglet appeals to me most, but the Genesis definitely looks good too. I live close to CRC's base, so I feel like I should push my local company. The Vitus bikes look great in the CRC store here in Belfast.

Having said that,if I was going to spend £800 or moron bike,I'd be rally tempted to try to pick up a used Cotic Soul, which really looks like the dogs doodads.

Yeh i love the Genesis core prob the most but the vitus does appeal so much with the price, not sure what i have to spend yet but would prob keep the wife happy the cheaper it is, but if its not a great bike i would rather spend more and get one of the others
