    I too had a rockhopper and wanted to change to full suss. I was torn between the Marin Rift Zone (2006) and the Specilaized FSR XC. Both bikes have a similar spec and receive good reviews. I went for the Marin in the end because it was cheaper at the time.

    Believe me it looks much better in the flesh.

    Check out the reviews:-

    I am very happy with the bike although it is my first full suss so I dont have anything to compare it too.

    The Specialized still looks good though....

    This is £1150 on this site but if you shop around you may get it for less. I saw one of these for £900 in my LBS the other week!

    i know ypu can get them at great prices (2007).
    they are a all mountain rig, all of them weigh around the 30lb mark.
    Enjoy the simple things in life
