Hi All

Just after a bit of advice / opinions about two bikes I am looking at as I have no experience of 29er hardtails at all, and am out of date on my knowledge of the latest kit. I was originally keen on getting a Canyon but after a look in Cycle Surgery last night am being tempted by a Specialized (never thought i'd say i'm tempted by a Specialized!! :lol: )

Anyway, the two bikes are:-

Anyone ridden both and can share their experience of these two? Surprisingly I am really struggling to find any reviews of the Specialized on t'internet!!

Cheers
