cycle solutions bike choice for £700

matt_cartlidge

Hi,

First post here - which is the best bike for light trails and cross country riding? It's
on our bike to work scheme run by cycle solutions so some brands are unavailable. My shortlist is below, I favour the revel 0 due to group set and fork, is it the right choice? Budget is £700.

giant revel 0 Ltd 2012

Giant talon 2 2012

Scott aspect 20 2012

Felt sport 29er 2012

Thanks

Links would help - not everyone memorizes bike specs.

The Rookie

The Talon has the best fork, though not too far ahead of the RS XC on the Felt and Giant, the Giant has by far the best drivetrain, on that basis I'd take the Giant myself.

One of those two I agree.
We've seen this place before. Seem to have a big chunk of the scheme, and IMO slightly rip off prices.
Depending on your tax rate, it might be worthwhile just looking for a good deal off the scheme.
Both of these are probably better and much cheaper.
