Both great value. The Fury has a longer fork, the hopper a more conservative ride, but if you like the fit and feel, both are just about the best in their class spec and value wise.
Hi supersonic,
After a long time away from biking (I've got a 1989/1990 RockHopper with a dodgy crank in my Mum's shed at home!!), I came across an opportunity to buy a brand new Rockhopper 2008 with v brakes for £350 and couldn't resist. I'm hoping I haven't made the wrong choice!
What do you mean by 'conservative ride'? Other than the forks, is there any other big differences in spec? I'm going to be doing a fair proportion of road riding so maybe a tighter ride is more important than travel in the forks.
