Which is best? I'm new to mountain biking and wondered which one I should buy. I also want to do a bit of jumping.
Most important to me is the gears, forks and brakes.
Thanks

The Fury or Rockrider. The Bolinas Ridge's spec is nowhere near as good ie 8 speed compared to 9, poor forks compared to lighter, highly adjustable units on the other two, cable brakes vs hydro disc brakes.
Though none are jump bikes.0 -
Either the Fury or the Rockrider, with the Marin your paying for the name and the components are cack...if you have a Halfords and Decathlon store near, try them out for how they feel.0

SS beat me to it again.....as for Jumping....it depends what you mean....if in a bike park then no....if jumping on small doubles and table tops etc on trails then yes they would be fine.0

Thanks for the advice guys!
But which one between the fury and rockrider?
Should I wait for the 2012 models to come out?

No point in waiting, could be well into next year.
Go for whatever fits best ie visit the shop and see what feels good. Both very good bikes.0
