Hi everyone.,

I'm looking to buy a mountain bike but am not up to speed on all the tech as I've been road biking for the past few years.

I've narrowed it down to the Cannondale rz 120 2 which seems to fit my budget and need. The thing is that I can get a USA spec or a UK spec version for around the same price (USA might be marginally cheaper) but I'm not sure which one is the better spec.

I've linked to a table with the spec comparison which I couldn't seem to embed? So if anyone could comment and help me out on this it would be greatly appreciated. At the moment I'm leaning towards the USA spec as it comes with the lefty fork.

Thanks!

    I'd go with the Uk spec mainly because I'm not a fan of lefties and it has better brakes.
    The US spec has a couple of better bits in the drivetrain but you can upgrade these as the old ones wear out. HTH.
