Carrera Sulcata or DiamondBack Sync

xe700

Hello I have been faced with a difficult decision on buying a new bike. I was thinking of buying the Carrera Sulcata or Diamondback Sync but I am not sure which was is better. Please suggest one
I use my bike or hardtails, ramps, jumps, wheelies/tricks and on road trips. I go along a lot of bumpy and muddy paths and do a lot of hardtails.
Thank you for your contribution

The Diamondback is dire and about £100 overpriced, old fashioned 7 speed freewheel and very basic forks.

The Sulcata is a bit better but the forks are undamped (I believe) and the cable brakes is another week area.

Damped forks and hydraulic disk brakes are the minimum for a 'proper' mountain bike.

Much much better for similar money if a large fits

Have you already dismissed the Marrassa at £240 in the sale? Well worth getting for most at that price and if you really really need a suspension fork, do that as an upgrade.

You may want to up your price range a bit, sounds like a lot of heavy usage for a budget bike.
