Hi there little bit of help trying to decide between 3 mtb's, so question is which one would you go for and why?

With the carrera I would get another 10% of the price that's the reason it's included.
Main reason for the bike is to and from work and through the local woods now again.
Thanks in advance

    At a glance there's not much between the Voodoo and the Carerra. Check out the Calibre Two.two from Go Outdoors too. That's a better spec than both.

    The Rock Rider is the one I'd go for from those choices. It's a nice bike for what you want, and it has a lifetime warranty on bars, frame, stem, etc. If you wanted to sell it on eventually, I reckon you'd find a buyer more easily, and get a better price / lose less money with the BTWIN as well.

    The Bantu has the worst forks.

    Of the other two, check them out, if one has the latest 32mm stanchion XCR then that is the best one, otherwise I'd pick the Kraken for trail use and the RR for XC use (which sounds like your usage).

  • Thanks for the replays think I'm gonna get the carrera as its dropped again in price now down to 360 and with discount down to 324
  • Use code APOCAR10 to get 10%of any carrera bike before 9th june

    That's the worst bike from the selection in my opinion, but if you've ridden them, and you like it the best, enjoy.
  • Can I ask why you think it's the worst, every opinion counts

    I'm also interested in hearing this rationale!
