    Hardtail the best bet at this price. Check out some threads in the buying section.

    simple answer really, the hardtail is the only option as at £500.00 as you simple can't get anything remotely good at that price period. remember it cost extra money for the shock unit and pivots and bearings etc,etc. so everything else akes a hit which means you end up with parts equal to a £350 hardtail. and we al know what you get for that price. happy hunting

    A new £500 full susser will be pants. A £500 hardtail should be good. Try GT or Giant.
