Please help, I cant decide on which bike i want.

or
http://www.decathlon.co.uk/rockrider-520-mountain-bike-id_8293188.html
I like the full suspension but im not sure if its any use at this price point. The 520 looks much better quality but less fork travel.
I will mostly be riding on roads however i will do some offroad. Help?

Of the two, the 520, the full suspension bike has no damping and will be pogoing along and sapping effort the whole time, it's also much heavier, the 520 will be a nicer and faster ride.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

A full stop after the first number would have made sense.
But being a part time foreigner does excuse you somewhat.I don't do smileys.
