hi ive been looking at the 24seven deviant2 and the deviant24 the differance in price is about £400 and from reading the spec list and what 24seven say about the bikes the Deviant2 is great for thrasing DH and with lithger tyres great on the trails and from what ive read on the deviant24 its better for more FR sort of stuff....

which of the 2 bikes is better for the money? id be riding trails, moderate FR&DH with a bit of Dj and street.

also if its the Deviant24, what would i upgrade 1st, crankset-forks? or forks-crankset?

thanks :)

    if you are adament you want one of those two bikes go for the deviant 2 because the deviant 24 has a rubbish fork which has alot of travel and they for some reason make it worse by putting a 24 inch wheel on the back! from memory the cranks arnt any good either but not sure.

    the deviant 2 is quite good but you can still get much better for the money for example an identiti dr jekyll which i have and is excellent!
