Hi, I looking to buy a new mountain bike. I was thinking about getting a full suspension bike and was wondering what you might think the best full suspension bike on the market sub £1000 might be. I am hoping to be doing some xc/trails are any of the below any good:
Trek Fuel EX5
Giant Trance 3
Specialised FSR XC
Mongoose Teocali Comp
Saracen Ariel 2
Norco Six Three
Thanks in advance,

Again, best is hard to quantify. All of those are decent budget rigs with good parts. Might want to add the GT Agressor XCR to the list and maybe try a few out or see them in the flesh.0

Sub 1K Full suss trail rig test in WMB a couple on months ago, Trance 3 came out on top, with the Norco and Spesh fairly close behind. The Giant has an excellent frame - same as the Trance 1 IIRC, and pretty good componentry to top it off - amazing value."Melancholy is incompatible with bicycling." ~James E. Starrs0

iirc, the 2008 Commencal Combi S uses the 2007 Meta 4 frame. Well worth a look at as well0

Does anyone have any opinion on the 2007 Combi S? I've just found one for less than £600 and Merlin have one listed ridiculously cheap, if they're any good I've a mind to "treat" myself again, I mean I've only got two bikes at the moment :P0

are the any other good full susers around that price range0

If you've got a Decathlon store near you you could try there for the rockrider 9.2 i saw one in the London store the other week and it looked mint.
