Two.Two vs 520 - Which and why?
PleaseRelax

I've had some great guidance from Cooldad, Rookie and Mr Lard (?) in getting me to this point.
Now I need some more precision guidance!
I know the Calibre has a good MBUK review, but i can't see any others on inderpendant sites... is the groupset better? Are rockshock forks better? Are both forks "rebound damped".... i think so???
I'm leaning stupidly toward the Decathlon 520...because i like black :roll: sorry!
Tell me I'm wrong - which would you buy and why?
GO! 8)
(Ps. thanks!)

Probably the Calibre. Better fork maybe but it's close. Probably better brakes. Better kit by one level. (eg. Deore mech instead of Acera)
But both are pretty decent for the price, and both will actually work on trails.I don't do smileys.

With CD, the Calibre just shades it but in almost every area.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0

Calibre for me - slightly better quality kit._______________
