Ok, so I have been looking at getting a 2008 Carrera Fury for a while now but these are getting very thin on the ground so I have been looking at other bikes around my budget (£400 ish).
There is the Carrera Kraken 09 which is currently £343 online with the online 20% discount, although I'm not so sure I have that much confidence in my local halfrauds store (I was only in there the other day where I guy walked out the shop with his "repaired" bike only to bring it back a few mins later to say it had just broken again!! :roll: ).
I have then seen a few posts with positive comments on the Mongoose Tyax Elite 2010 for £399 at evens cycles. I have a local bike shop who can probably get me one of these and match the web price.
My use will be general riding, bit of on road as well as off. I don't mind spending a little bit more for the right bike.
Which one of the above bikes would be the better option, or is there another make model I should consider for my budget?
Cheers

The GT would be ideal as well.....continue shopping arround, as most manufactures are releaseing their 2011 ranges which will mean if you patient more bargains !0 -
Thanks for the suggestions but they over my budget.
I think I prefer either the Mongoose Tyax Elite 2010 or the GT Aggressor XC 2, plus I can get either of these from a local bike shop rather than through Halfords, which I don't hold much confidence in.
So, is either bike better spec'd than the other or are they much the same?
Thanks0
