Need help choosing

cdpiow

Hi All

long time reader but only just signed up

Its that time year for me and time to chose my cycle to work scheme bike,coming from a 2011 Rockhopper which I loved and cant decide whether to get a newer Rockhopper or one of the below

Currently leaning towards the Scott but would welcome any advise or alternative suggestions but it has to be from wheelies.co.uk as the scheme we use limits us on where we can buy from

I'd get this:

It would help if you mentioned what the bike is going to be used for and what you expect from a new bike.

Genesis looks nice, not really heard much about them so didn't even consider that brand

Sorry should have put more information about use

The bike will be used in part to commute to work so will put some semi slicks on during the week ,currently using continental double fighters

I know there are better commuter bikes than mountain bikes but want to use it for more off road stuff at weekends, riding local trails and through the forests then the odd trip to Queen Elisabeth Country park to ride the trail there

I have a rockhopper currently and have been very impressed but it was my first bike where I have spent that sort of money

are either of these any good

last year was easy as knew I wanted a Rockhopper but this year I'm trying to open up my choices

I dont think my fitness levels would like single speed
