Hi,
Decided that I would like to buy either the Giant XTC 1 2011 model or Genesis core 26.5

http://www.ukbikesdepot.com/m15b126s2p6 ... S_GB/20227
Anyone got any feedback on which would be best for xc only (no jumps etc)
Complete newbie but want to get into MTBing at a decent level
Thanks for feedback

Both are excellent bikes - in their own way. The XTC is a racier beast, with steeper geometry, whilst the Core is a bit heavier and more suited to slightly harder riding.
Be aware of the limited sizes.0 -
I've just seen the orange crush 2012 for 1k too. I'm 5ft5 would this be a better bike for the money and will it be better geometry0

Do you have a link?0

This is even more hardcore than the Genesis in nature, with an even bigger fork and burlier frame. So for XC based ride, I'd say it was overkill.0
