Hi

I in need of some advice / help with my final decision, i have a budget of 1800 for my first full sus bike after reading loads of articles and forums i have got me decision down to the stumpjumper elite or the trek ex6 i have demo rode both bikes and they both performed similiar so am torn as to which one to go for.
So i was wondering what people on here think of pros andcons for each bike

cheers

    Very similar bike. If it were me I'd go for the Trek. It's marginally lighter and I don't have the need for adjustable travel. However, your circumstances maybe different.

    Don't know about the stumpjumper but I have a EX8 and love it - only heard good things about it except moans about cable rub - helicopter tape it straight away......
