Hi guys! new MTB guy here! Im looking for a great value for money full suspension Trail bike as im moving up from a hardtail but dont wanna spend over 1500! ive had a look at the Norco Fluid FS 3 but the Tektro brakes and future need of a dropper post swing me more towards the Jamis Dakar A1


here are both bikes
are really like the Jamis over the Norco but my knowledge isn't the best! also if anyone thinks theres a better option other than these 2 bikes let me know!

Have a look at the Calibre Bossnut from Go Outdoors.

Was in there with a mate the ohter day looking at similar bikes. Our cycle to work scheme is only for use in Evans, so a bit limited! The Jamis looks horrible in the flesh. The cheaper model looks a lot nicer, I'd get that one and add a dropper and better tyres to be honest. The Norco Fluid FS 1 looks a decent option, although is a little more expensive. And it's 27.5, not a 29er.

Another mate has just got the Trek Roscoe 8, lovely little hardtail, really nice.
