i was going to go for a full sus but don't think i will need it for local terrain. was wanting to know opinions on these willing to spend 1-2k. also will be doing a few short xc races in the new year.

    Why Felt only?
    You only need two tools: WD40 and Duck Tape.
    If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
    If it shouldn't move and does, use the tape.

    a dedicated XC full sus would generaly be quicker over a cours than a XC HT, yes even up hill as the rear sus helps traction. but the XC full sus would have worse components than the HT at the same price point.


    But the biggest thing of all.....................











    wait for it
















    wait for it








    depends on what people like. you are not a pro xp racer so power out put and weight are going to be limiting factors over you aveage speed over a couse more than HT or FS Some people love the HT feel and others love the FS bouce blag a go on a mates HT and a FS and see what you like it wont be exactly like hte bike you end up getting but it will get you in to hte rough ball park.

    Have fun on your new bike.
