New Bike under £500 - Halfords Mayhem

LiamO5991

Hi Guys,
Buying a knew bike with a budget of £500 which doesn't necessarily mean I want to spend it all.

I am split between bikes at halforda after looking at reviews of:
- Carrera Vulcan
- Voodoo Hoodoo
- Carrerra Fury
- Carrera Vengeance
- Voodoo Bakku

I have been looking and not sure what to get. I would generally be riding on flats but do what enough capability on the bike to go Mountain Biking/Downhill. Please let me know your opinions and what you would choose.

And I do know that Halfors building service is total rubbish I would be building myself
Just want to say thanks in advance

Halfords PDI are no better or worse than any other shop. You either have a good shop or a bad shop.

What do you mean by downhill? As none of those are Downhill bikes. But the can be ridden down a hill.

Out Of all the bike at halfords within your price range i would without a second thought Get the Voodoo Hoodoo or Bantu!

When I say downhill I do not mean proper courses I just meen more off road, and something which suspension allows for a few small jumps, little trails through woods but the frame is strong as well. Not really downhill.

Voodoo Bantu would be sufficient for your needs, but try them out for fit
