Hi guys,

Some input from you seasoned chaps on which of these two bikes would be a better buy would be appreciated given I can get either one at the £600 price tag:

Voodoo Bizango

Cube Acid 29er 2014

http://www.hargrovescycles.co.uk/cube-a ... -bike.html

Main differences I see are:

Voodoo/Cube
Fork: Suntour Raidon air 120mm with lockout/Rockshox silver tk air 100mm with remote lockout
Drivetrain: Shimano deore and alivio/shimano XT and SLX
Brake disc: 180mm front and 160mm rear/160mm front and rear
Tyres: maxxis ardent/schwalbe smart sam

Can anyone give me pros and cons of the above specs?

Thank you

    Your links don't work, but on limited info probably the Cube.

  • Thanks cooldad,

    try now.... I've repasted them.
  • Dunno about the cube but the bizango is an absolute blast to ride. Did FoD on mine a few weeks ago and it did both trails and most of the DH runs easy. Proper fast flowing bike that handles really nicely once you're used to the bigger wheels. Would happily recommend it to anyone !!

    Its almost as fun as my Mega tr..... but not quite
