I have been looking myself and found two hopefuls Vitus Bikes Nucleus 275 VR Hardtail Bike 2015 or VooDoo Bizango 29'' if you have experience riding these bikes please give me your opinion or if you know of any other bikes within that price range please tell me

Thanks for the help

    The Voodoo consistently gets very very good ride reports, it punches well above its weight and is much better than just the 'sum of it's parts'. One of the few bikes to get a 5* rating.

    The fork on the Voodoo is much better than on the Vitus, the fork is the single most important component on any MTB, on that basis it's the Bizango of the two if it were my money.
