Hey All

Im looking to buy a hardtail mountain bike for less than £1,000 and I'm quite tempted by the KTM ultra flite, I've seen and ridden the bike in a local bike shop in Inverness and it seems to be a very well spec'd bike compared to others in the price range but I can't find any reviews on it, even by looking on Austrian forums which is where the bike is from. The guys who work in the shop seem to know what they are talking about and rate it highly, but then they are selling it:

The other bike I am considering is the Boardman Mountain Bike Team HT 650B 2014.

Any advice would be appreciated

Cheers

    A mate of mine rides a KTM Ratchet and doesn't have a good word to say about it. Other than that thet don't seem too popular.

    Have you any suggestions for bikes which are similar but cheaper or better and the same price?

    that boardman you suggested would be my choice :)

    or get a bargain used (but only if you know enough to check the bike is in good nick. If unsure, stick to new)
