Bergamont vs Voodoo

nargal

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a bike around 500£ I know that here is a tons of question in same money range,
but bear with me.

I'm 6.2ft /188cm, will do some trial riding and little of commuting.

Contenders:

and

http://www.halfords.com/cycling/bikes/mountain-bikes/voodoo-bizango-29er-mountain-bike

For my newbie eye on paper Bergamont have better spec, but can someone more experienced confirm that and point my in good direction.

Many Thanks,

I'd say the Bergamont is easily the best of the two. Much better transmission and better fork.

Voodoo bizango is cheaper tho with a few discounts

I know that if u stack some discounts on Halfords price on Voodoo it can go below 400£.
I wanna to use CycleToWork but I think they will not accept it.

I got the voodoo for £400 could of got it cheaper with a few more discounts

Apart from a years 'free' credit, you can probably get it cheaper using the discounts for a 'cash' buy than you can get it on C2W as you can't use the discounts/cash back.

The bergamont has a triple chainset which does not suit everyone.

Oh here we go again...
How about if I extend my budget to £700-800
