    I've had a Rock Lobster and tested both. Personally I think the Malt 1 and Malt 4 represent the best value in the range. There doensn't seem much difference between 1 and 2 to me....so 1.

    The 2 frame is lighter, and uses more butting.
  • I bought a Malt 1 and upgraded to full XT and xc717 rims, my long term idea was that I'd upgrade the frame at some time and keep the nice components. It's been a great bike and I'd buy one again, the value for money is exceptional. Out of the box they're sorted too, whack some pedals on and hit the trails.
