Which of these 2 guys saracen zen 1 2011 http://www.saracen.co.uk/bikes/hardtail-trail/zen-1 or a Orbea compair http://www.orbea.com/gb-en/bicis/modelo ... esentacion The only reason i ask is i went into put a deposit on the orbea and they had some of these at a great price.

Spec wise their is not much in it, obviously the Zen gives you the flexibility to change the front travel...the geometry of the Orbea is a bit more upright and racy whilst the slack angles on the Zen will make it more stable on the decents...the longer wheelbase and the slacker angles would do it for me, so personally I would take the Zen as it would be more fun.

Even if its just for riding to work Pudseyp?

Get out.

Another thing that i have noticed is, there is not much info on the Orbea range of mountain bikes.So i suppose its just making the correct choice but i also want to be able to take the kids out on the weekend biking.

Sorry, I mislaid my crystal ball...if your only going to ride it to work....why are you buying a mountain bike when any normal person would buy a hybrid.

Perhaps in a years time once you have finaly made your mind up, you could wear this (on your way to work obviously)

Thanks I was wanting to get into DH racing, just couldn't afford a decent bike, until now.
