Hi everyone, I'm returning to mountain biking after a while and I've got the options to either buy a Trek 8900 ZR (2007 model) and a Trek Fuel Ex 8 (2009), and wondered what people thoguht was the best bet. I used to ride a Trek 6500 Disc (2006), which I enjoyed, but always found my legs doing a lot of work downhill over rocky ground, hence the thoughts about leaving the hardtail world to enter full sus. Just wondering if the 3 kg-ish lighter frame and higher spec of the 8900 ZR would cancel out the benefits of the Fuel Ex 8. Any help would be great!
