Hi everyone, I'm pretty new to the whole mountain biking thing and I'm in the market for my first 'proper' bike. I've got a budget of about £500-800 through the cycle to work scheme (not one that includes halfords but my local shop sells most brands). I've done a bit of looking and come up with a few names. Any thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I'm undecided between -
rockrider 8.1
rockrider 9.1
but i am very open to suggestions
I'll be going about 50/50 on roads and some offroad stuff in the local woods/ maybe further afield in future.
thanks in advance

As you know they are both good bikes for the money. Your decision is whether you want full suss or hardtail.
For the type of riding you describe I would have thought a hardtail may suit you better, but have a read around the subject and see what you think.0
