    I had a similar decision to make after xmas and decided in the end of the Carrera Kraken Limited Edition.....

    Dont be swayed by snobery to makes....
    Im a newbie too and im absolutley loving the bike right now...out 3 times a week doing a 40 min loop mainly on roads to build up my fitness before going XC....

    good luck with your decsion and welcome pal.

    The Boardman is in Halfords and apparently has better spec than the others.

    I like Carreras,.... the Voodoo looks cheap and nasty to me.

    try to get an 08 carerra banshee x susser. theyre good bikes and you can get one for less then £500
  • I plumped for an Aggressor XCR a few months ago and I love it so that's what I'd go for but try and ride them if you can - which is normally not available from halfords but even a ride around the car park might be enough to rule a bike out or in for one reason or another.
