Hi guys, was thinking about a Reign or Remedy earlier this year but couldnt pull the trigger on either. Looking on Pauls cycles the Claymore 2 and Jekyll 3 have caught my eye. Ive a budget of around 2 grand. I like the dea of a do it all bike with enough potential that i can grow into. Any thoughts on either or alternatives would be welcome. I try and do a bit of everything with regards to my riding and would like to try some light dh in the future. Thanks in advance.

    Not sure what 'light DH' is but if you really wanna hit some proper DH trails then the Claymore is the one for sure. Looks like a good price to me too

    But for everything else it will be a bit rubbish.

    For DH, the Claymore, if you intend doing anything else (including cycling on the flat) the Jekyl! (of the two)
