I need to narrow 3 bikes down to one looking for people thought and opinions. The three bikes all full suspension unfortunately I don't have a huge budget. Voodoo Canzo, Voodoo Vobop and Giant Trance. If people could rank them in order of which to get and not get please bring cash into thought! Looking to spend around £800 Halfords tend to have a 20% off a lot also other companies do. Looking to ride trai with medium to small jumps however also going through wood area on narrow paths also quite a bit of climbing bascically the all round one something that can do all that.
Many thanks

    Links help. I think Vobob might be wrong, and I'm sure Giant make more than one Trance.

    I wouldn't buy any of those. I'd be looking at the Calibre Bossnut and Boardman Team FS. In fact, I did buy the Bossnut. Pretty much everything is better one either of the 2 I've mentioned than any of the bikes you linked to.

    Thanks for the other suggestions I'll have a look now.

    I had a little bet with myself before opening this thread if it would be a triple chainring to 1x conversion question or a bike shortlist question.

    if you can tell us your max budget and the type of riding you do or want to do it would help us all

    also are you limited to any retailer ?? i.e are you buying it on a ""bike to work scheme"" ?

    the more you can tell us the more we can try and advise you
