Why the Rize? It is nothing like the others!

Probably the marin wolf ridge, because its the cheapest. Quality goes up very slightly after a certain point. From £500 to £1500, there's a big difference in quality. From £1500 to £2500 its much smaller. From £2500 to £3500 and onwards, its tiny.

You've seen a wolf ridge for £1500? Where?

I say this to people on a daily basis. forgive me for the caps lock

THE BEST DEAL IS NOT THE BEST SPEC AT THE BEST PRICE, BUT THE BIKE THAT FITS YOUR RIDING STYLE THE BEST AND FITS YOU PHYSICALLY.

I.E. There's little point in buying a downhill bike if you want to ride down the towpath or an XC race bike if you want to launch off drops. And if you do find the perfect bike at the perfect price and they've only got 16" in stock and you're 6'4", it's not going to fit.

FALSE ECONOMY!

You'll break it or injure yourself if you do big jumps and drops.
