Help to pick a bike Canyon vs Norco

Jimmb0

Hi everyone !

I have a little dilemma and could use your help.

I am about to buy a enduro bike and been stuck between two of them:

CANYON STRIVE AL 7.0 http://www.canyon.com/en/mountainbikes/bike.html?b=3607#tab-reiter1

and the

NORCO RANGE Carbon 7.3 https://www.norco.com/bikes/mountain/enduro/range-carbon/range-c-73/

Any help ?!?

Any experience, suggestions are welcome !

Thank you all up front for it.

How much is the Norco?

If buying Canyon be prepared to wait ages for it, and then for it to be delayed even further.

That's not to say the bike won't be good though.

@The Rookie - £2800 for alu or £3000 for carbon. I'd buy a top end Mega for that

No personal experience, but a couple of people I know with Norcos have no end of trouble with suspension bits (bolts falling out, bearings going etc) and no spares.

Two of my mates have had the same problems with a Norco Aurum and a Sight.
I would have the Canyon out of those two but to be honest I would rather buy a Giant Reign 27.5 2. Not as good components but still better than a lot and although I haven't ridden that bike every other Giant I have ridden with Meastro rear suspension has been brilliant. The one thing I don't like about Canyon is their rear suspension, too linear and too much lateral flex.

Thanks !

Tha Noroc is a carbon one and the Canyon isn't....so what's your thought's on that ?

Still wouldn't have a Norco.

I'd buy one of these...

Ok. I think i will get the Norco still. Because if servis is needed i can drive him her in Slowenia.
