From reading the other forums it seems like these bikes seem the best in the 600 to 750 price range.
I am looking for a bike that will mainly be for XC. Which of these bikes will be best?
Merlin Malt
Genesis Core 20
Focus Black Forest

My Malt 4 is an awesome bike, light, fast, nimble and strong
*two thumbs up*0 -
what forks do they come with??0

a basic malt4 with an R/S tora fork is £860, below £750 your looking at a malt2 or an upgraded malt1. the fox fork on the focus to me makes it the best value of the 3.who cares?0

Damn the Malt 4 has gone up in price!
I got it will full XT groupset, Reba Team, 719 wheels and the Race Face evolve finishing set for around £950 at the beginning of last year...0 -
You've got a big price range and to be honest there's likely to be one winner and that's the one at the top end of your budget.
Got to ask though Merlin Malt 1 or 4?
I own a Genesis Core 20 and at £600 in most places that was the top end of my budget. If I could stretch further I would have considered the Focus Black Forest but would have looked at other bikes round that price range (and therefore probably the Core 30).
As this is not a fair contest I am not going to vote but if you can afford it look at the Focus and other bikes around that price. Give them a ride and see what you think.0 -
The Core 30 is £722 at tredz so comes into your price range.0
