SPECIALIZED HARDROCK SPORT

But open to your suggestions as well...

    For £500 the normal recommendation is the Rockrider 8.1 from Decathlon, there are also the Voodoo and Carrera Fury at Halfords which while not quite as good value are still good bikes.

    the Lardrock is horrid, forget that, the Trek isn't much better, the Cube

    For a bit less Money the latest Carrera Vulcan is a lot of bike for the money (Hydraulic disk brakes for example) and much better than any of those three.
