Spec wise which is the better bike , 2012 Devinci Cameleon XP or 2011 Giant Revel 1 ? I'm new to biking. That being said the bike will be used on groomed trails and country dirt roads. These are the web pages... http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-ca/bik ... 096/46572/

    Links to the bikes you are looking at?
    As specs in the UK will be different to what you are looking at.

    The Giant is much the better specified of the 2, it has a better fork (with damping), better drivetrain (Alivio), Better brakes (Promax are poo), no brainer for me!
