Hello,


Quick question; is it worth paying extra for the Radon ZR Team 6.0 (~600 GBP) over the Saracen Mantra Pro (~520 GBP) or even a good deal for the Genesis Core 10 (~440 GBP)?


The Radon is what I want the most, but one can't deny the deals on the other bikes!

Saracen: http://www.saracen.co.uk/bikes/mountain ... mantra-pro

Genesis: http://www.genesisbikes.co.uk/bikes/mou ... il/core-10

What's your two cents?

    The fork on the Radon has a proper damper and not a cheap cartridge damper, that makes it worth the extra on it's own.

    As noted though the Bizango is a great alternative, similar fork to the Radon.

    I'd like the Bizango, but I can't find a shop that ships to Denmark. :(

    I'd go for the Mantra, regardless of the lesser fork spec the frame and geometry is excellent, it really does ride well which surprised me!
