Looking to spend about 350 on a hard tail MTB. would quite like one with lockable forks to make commuting easier as well as being able to use it on trails. would also like something with a decent frame to make upgrading at a later date an option.
A quick search has thrown up:

Any thoughts/other ideas?

The Terrano and Mongoose Tyax Super are by far the best specced and best value.
Can you try any out?0 -
Can try out the spesh, GF and possibly Terrano at LBS' in Cheltenham, but probably not the Mongoose. Its a shame because I like the look of that and its a great name!0
-
I'd certainly put that Terrano at the top of my list. Really trumps the others on value and kit.0
-
thanks, Is it worth the £45 extra than the Mongoose?0
-
Just about. Whatever feels best really is the one to go for.0
-
One missing from the list is the Carrera Kraken, bit weighty but pretty capable.Uncompromising extremist0

I've just bought this. Colour and design is terrible and there's no cool name attached to it but it's half-price so what the heck!! It's also £330, so ideal for you.

looks good, you happy with it? Is it light?0

thoughts supersonic?0

Great value. The RRP is heavily inflated, more like 500 quid, but at 300 you are getting a lot of kit. Good frames too.0

Not received it yet, only ordered it yesterday, but am happy to give feedback next week when it arrives.0
