Hello everyone !
As I already said , i'm a total null in mtb's and i need to choose my first mountain bike. My budget is pretty tight though , 400 pounds is my limit . My favourite right now would be the Calibre Two.Two from gooutdoors.com for 399 pounds (but they oftenly put it up for sale , so i will wait for that ) :

But gooutdoors have just dropped the price of Mondraker Phase 27.5 to 399 pounds , so 25 % of the original price . So i think its a pretty good bargain , but i dont know if the bike is good as much as the deal.:

Opinions on which bike would be the best is what i need from you guys . But if you know any other , better bike for the same price , please lwt me know .
Thanks in advance.

The Mondraker is rubbish value to even that price, the fork is aweful and expected to be seen on bikes costing £200-250 - avoid.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0

Thanks for the response man , so the Two.Two it is ! Got any other bike in mind for that price that you would recomend ?0 -
It's always worth a look at Halfords at that price point, and Decathlon.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0
