Which would be my best option for my first Full susser. M y budget is between £2000-£2500. I'm 5 10'' and around 13 n half st. I ride mostly XC and little bit of DH once in a while. I really like THE Zesty 314 2013 and the Norco sight 2. Would either of these be right for me or something else??????

How taxing is the DH? Will you be hitting the really big stuff?0

Seems a hellva lot of travel when most of your riding is xc :?0

Found a Turner 5 Spot for 2800, which is a steal...http://www.awcycles.co.uk/turner-flux-xt-cross-country-full-suspension-bike-17865.html
Looks like you're looking at AM or Trail bikes, which are a lot of fun to ride, but I guess you're not planning on racing XC any time soon.
Of the two you mentioned I'd go with the NORCO.0 -

xc covers a broad spectrum, xc riding in whistler for example is essentially riding to the top of the DH runs then bomb it down. a 140mm bike is very versatile, they can go pretty much anywhere comfortably.0 -
Check out flea bay and have a look at the s works epics available for around your budget. Or perhaps an epic marathon if the s works go for too much. You may find the 120mm travel more appropriate for cross country rides.
