Carrera Kraken 2011 Vs Carrera Fury 2009

Indranil

This question might be silly but again I am in the beginners section.
Whats is the difference between Carrera Kraken 2011 and Carrera Fury 2009? I mean is Fury worth the money? If yes, why?
As a newbie only difference I see is Fury has air front suspension and Kraken has hydraulic?

If we have Voodoo Hoodoo in the equation as well, which of these is the best buy?

The fork is worth the extra money alone. Add to that a better wheelset and lighter overall weight, then the Fury is the better bike.

Both forks are hydraulically damped. One is coil sprung, the other air sprung.

The Kraken 09 is 100 pound cheaper, and virtually the same as the 11.

I'd second that (having a fury myself!!)

If £500 is the absolute maximum then which is the best buy? Voodoo HooDoo?

The Decathlon Rockrider 8.1

My mistake! Sorry forgot to mention I have the Halfords c2w £500 voucher.
So, they can order in other bikes which they don't stock normall (e.g: Spesh bikes) but not Decathlon bikes.

Ah, pity! The Hoodoo is a great bike for the money - tbh, they all are. Sometimes the Fury drops in the sales.

Yeah I picked my fury up for £495 but I've seen it as low as 449
