cheers

Depends entirely on how much you want to spend and if you want to stick with a hardtail.0

There is not much wrong with the vengeance that a better set of forks and some light weight tyres wont put right. How much were you thinking of spending on your new steed ?0 -
I love my 2014 vengeance to bits.. Done over a thousand miles on it!
I put better lighter tyres on it almost immediately as the stock oem kendas were shockingly rubbish. That helps!
The forks are crap too, but not game ruining but a decent replacement will set you back the best part of 200quid..ouch!
I guess you nnee to look at what you want to do that your bike is holding you back with..0 -

New, maybe, second hand forks that are a vast improvement on OE can be bought quite reasonably priced, Ive seen rebas for sale for 70 quid , my Toras cost me £400 -
SID's £70 and some Revs for the daughter £70, My sons Magura were £100 and my old Manitou's were £50 and will be being sold once serviced!
Suntour Epicon can be found for circa £135 new if you must have new.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
