Voodoo bantu or Rockrider 520 or 500

Need advise which bike to get. I am new to biking and have a limited budget and these are the best bikes I have seen that I can get with the budget of around £330

Go Outdoors had this on offer with an additional 10% off when I was in last week:-

I know that makes it £342 but it's not a stretch over your £330 budget, seems to get some good reviews and a lot of positivity for its price point - might be worth investigating

Between the three you've listed though I Prefer the Voodoo - a quick question though, does your £330 budget just include the purchasing of the bike itself or are you still going to need additional accessories (helmet, pads, tools, spares etc etc)??

i asked go outdoors they said they cant give another 10% off the bike.the budget for a bike i already have everything else

For the £12 difference I'd skimp on a few pints.

So should i get the calibre instead then?

Are you sure about the pricing on the Calibre 2, 2, website says £379.99 if you have one of their discount cards £429.99 otherwise. If you can stretch to the extra £50 then yes consider it.

I would take the Voodoo Hoodoo over the .22

After going to go outdoors they wouldnt lower there price for the calibre two. Anyway I ended up getting the voodoo bantu

Both bikes look nice, so be happy with either choice. The .22 was on offer with an extra 10% off a few days ago buts it's possible that since this offer has now passed that they won't give you that price - depends how desperate you are to buy I guess as everywhere seems to have offers on every few weeks.
