Which type of MTB

jasondxb

Need some advice please on which type of bike to get, hard tail vrs full suspension

I will have a budget of anything upto 1000gbp

The bike will be used on mountain trails, not intending to race or anything like that

I have found this : http://www.paulscycles.co.uk/products.php?show=4359

Any recommendations on other bikes appreciated

Good choice. Have a look on the same website at the Giant Trance.

I'd go for a decent hardtail myself - like the 2012 905 listed here: http://www.winstanleysbikes.co.uk/category/562/Whyte or maybe an on one 456. Then you've got 29ers too. Some prefer full suspension though...

I'd agree on this.

Why choose the 456 over a RZ120 or Trance?
I had one and they are ok, perfectly decent bike but I have also had a Trance and ridden an RZ120 and they are both a lot nicer than the 456. Lighter as well.
Never ridden a 905 though.
