    The XTC is an XC bike, which is not suitable for Freeride stuff, it will eventually fail.

  • what would be a good under £1000 bike i was looking at a norco manik
  • i've been riding for 12 years and still find this problem a pain in the butt, my latest bike pruchase was well thought out which was a santacruz heckler which is a 5 inch travel do it all bike i recently used it in the Alps/ Morzine and was very happy with it a lot the guides told me it was a very good bike for out there (Morzine) and i find it works well a home too, my advice is to test ride as many bikes as possible before you buy but five inch of travel works well in alot of areas. :D

    Get a Norco Six. Less than £800 at some places!
