The Giant Talon 2 is poor - horrible fork.
Have a look at our What Bike thread for further ideas.0 -

Carrera Fury. Look no further.0

Rockhoppers are awesome bikes.
My '09 Comp has handled everything i have thrown at it from long XC rides, trailcenters, even a little DH. (Tho i think the dh might have been a mistake).
One note the pedals and tyre that come with them as seriously rubbish. Pedals made of ice would have more grip.0 -
decathlon rockrider 8.1. Nothing better out there for under £700, and it's £500. What more do you want?0

Well the Fury is just as good...0

I have a Fury - no regrets. The white is quite bling too.0

the rockrider has sram x.7. the fury has x.5, same brakes, finishing kit to a similar standard, the rockrider has better forks (IMO), the suntours on the fury may be air and 120mm but i just don't trust suntour, particularly looking at the quality of new marzocchi next to rockshox, AND the rockrider is £30 cheaper. It seems like a bit of a no brainer to mesupersonic wrote:Well the Fury is just as good...0 -
The older Fury, which can still be got at £480, as the Tora 318 - it is a quite a bit better than the 302. Nice wheels too.
Both are great bikes.0
