Used bike choice

The bokor has 140mm Suntour Epicon air suspension fork with lockout & 15mm through axle

Personally I'd take the Voodoo, but only because it's more suited to my riding.
BR review of the Trek - looks OK. Fork is basic, but at least has damping.

I think I might go for the bokor as it hasn't been used and I like the look of it.

Do you think they are similar spec?

97th choice

whats the year of the bokor? It is probably a very well specified bike, they usually are.

It's this spec:

The guy worked at halfords and didn't like the white frame so swapped the bits over.

Finally.
I don't think you'll be sorry.
Now go and get muddy and crash.

I have a voodoo hoodoo(last years model) with the same fork as the boker and I love it. I had a GT Avalanche 2.0 before that and the voodoo makes the rough stuff so much easier. Get that helmet bought A.S.A.P

I have the 2012 bokor which I bought brand new in the box for £375 & I love it apart from the white grips which I replaced,also put some marsh guards on,don't think u will be disappointed

I'm really chuffed with the voodoo. Seems a really nice ride and looks awesome!

Helmet's bought and is in use!

The voodoo is a great choice as it works really well and looks the business so all we need now is some pics of the bike all muddied up ..

Unless you want to live up to your name, at least read the thread before you post.

I did read the post. The Genesis was nearly a £,900 bike as new and is certainly better than those mentioned with better spec.
