Hi guys, looking into buying a new front suspension MTB, i seem to be leaning towards the Apect 10 due to the air fork and the upgraded drive. Just want your guys opinions on the 2012 model of the Scott aspects, are they worth the money? I was looking at the 2011 version but they seem to be of a much lower spec.

    I would save myself £200 odd quid and buy this which is an identical if not better spec

    Thanks buddy you helped change my mind, i've got alot of bike for the price compared to other bikes, i've had a scott bike before and the frame was brilliant that is why i was swaying to a scott bike again.

    Just purchased the Canyon AL 6.0 :D

    Good choice !!

    There are a lot of Canyon owners on these forums who rave about the quality, spec and customer service....so enjoy getting muddy when it arrives !!

  • As i'm a total Noob to all this how does the Canyon AL 6.0 compare to the Whyte 901 , just that i was justifying to get the Canyon but as there is a deal on the whyte i may just push myself a little further.

    The Canyon has a 100mm fork the 901 has 120mm so both XC orientated. The canyon has the better fork, the groupset are similar quality, the 901 has slightly better brakes, canyon slightly better wheels. The canyon is a couple of pounds lighter.
