Hope someone can help here,
I have an old GT tempest year 2002, I did the Red route at Dolby forest 2 weeks ago and found it hard to hold control on my bike (no suss). im looking for a bike with front suspension, here lies the problem what do i go for, i like jumps and hard going trails budget around £600. would the Saracen Zen1 be a good choice?

Thanks in advance
