ANyone any opinions. Sick of waiting for the Super Bud so was contemplating the Rockrider 9.2. I mainly do xc trail type stuff and occasionally the welsh trail centres with a bit more rough stuff so want FullSus to cushion the blow a bit

From a beginners point of view i think the Fox kit on the Super Bud is a bit better than the Rockshox stuff on the Rockrider. but that's why i'm asking for a bit of expert advice. I had a quick look at the rear shock on the rockrider, and it just has rebound adjust. From what i've found on the web the Fox on the Super Bud has propedal which will help when i do need to use the bike on the flat stuff. ( I do need to use the bike for Manchester to Blackpool in summer with slicks)
I'm also a feather weight at just over 10 stone so not sure what adjustments i might need to look at!
Not sure on the brakes.. the Super Bud has Magura Louise hydraulic, 180mm & 160mm, whilst the rockrider has Avid Juicy 5's.
I think my heart is kinda hoping you'll tell me to wait for the Super BUd
As Allways, any advise allways appreciated!
Cheers
Andy

I've considered the superbud myself and still might find myself going back to it.
I think from those two I would definately go for the focus, I'm sure it 'll be worth the wait

Both have good specs - which would ride best comes down to you - test them! The NEUF system is designed to stop bobbing, so may not need a fancy shock.0
