Sorry, Its a "What Bike" Question!

steve23

hi guys.....

i want to get back into MTB'ing after about 4 years away!!! i used to ride a lot of downhill, which i loved!

im after a new bike though, as my old one has had it, but ive lost touch onwhats good or not!!!

im after a do it all bike, so "freeride" style (i think!)

i need a bike that will be a great all rounder, but that i can realy give some stick to on the downhills too.

my budget is £800, with a possible stretch to £1,000, but that is if theres a bike that i fall in love with for that price!!!

oh, id prefer it to be full sus too!!!

any info would be great, cheers guys.

Wooohooo!

This is probably the one you will get suggested a few times as they are very popular, backed up with them being very good however is this isn't to your liking ()

I have a Carrera Banshee XXX and its awesome... Handles DH easily and has a really good spec for the money... http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/category/ ... x-08-32168

Only drawback is that it is quite heavy on the uphills, but you have to go down once you've gone up and thats what it does best! :twisted:

I have the Pro and I love it - I can really hammer it downhill but it climbs brilliantly as well. Check out some of the reviews.
