Hi,
I am new to MTB and looking for a decent bike to start with. I do live in Munich, Germany and would like to test the bike in the shop before buying therefore no Canyon or other direct sales. After some search I've these two at nice prices:
GT Zaskar 27.5 Elite
Frame GT Speed Metal Ultra Alloy Triple Triangle HardTail
Fork RockShox Recon Gold TK 27.5 Solo Air 100mm Remote LockOut
Crankset Shimano SLX 2x10 (38/24)
Shifters Shimano SLX
Cassette Shimano 10s (11-36)
Front Derailleur Shimano Deore
Rear Derailleur Shimano Deore XT Shadow Plus
Brakes Shimano Deore Disc
Wheels All Terra Centerlock Disc Hubs & WTB ST i19 Rims
Handlebar Kore XCD-R1
Stem Kore XCD1
Seatpost Kore Torsion
Saddle Fizik Tundra
11.86kg according to http://www.mbr.co.uk/reviews/hardtail/g ... ite-review
Centurion Backfire Race 1000.27
Rahmen - Backfire Race D 27. 5
Gabel - Fox Float 32 Evolution, 100 mm O/C CTD 15QR Remote
Umwerfer - Shimano Deore
Schaltwerk - Shimano Deore XT
Schalthebel - Shimano SLX I-Spec
Bremshebel - Shimano Deore
Bremse - Shimano Deore 180/160 mm
Kurbelgarnitur - Shimano SLX, 42/32/24 Z.
Innenlager - Shimano Deore XT Press-Fit
Kette - KMC X10
Nabe - Shimano SLX E-Thru / SLX
Felge - Alex MPD-14
Kassette - Shimano HG50 10-speed 11-36
Reifen - Schwalbe Rocket Ron / Racing Ralph Evolution 27. 5x2. 25
Lenker - Procraft Riser, 660(RH36,41)/710 mm
Vorbau - Procraft AL Pro, 6°
Steuersatz - FSA No. 55E / BB-410-SL
Sattelstütze - Procraft SP-369, 27. 2 mm
Sattel - Procraft Race
Gewicht - 11,5 kg
As far as I understand the difference is in forks, rims and geometry. Zaskar costs 899 EUR and Centurion 999 EUR. Is Fox Float 32 Evolution 100 EUR better than RockShox Recon Gold TK?
And generally are these decent bikes for the price?

The fork is a little better - slightly more refined damper, but the damper can be upgraded on the Recon to motion control.0
