Good morning all,

After 9 years it is time to retire my Kona Kikapu Deluxe and upgrade.

I have a budget of £1500 for a full suspension bike suitable for xc and trail. So far I have shortlisted a Vitus and Canyon but I'm put off by buying them online as would like to demo a bike before purchase.

Canyon Nerve AL 7.0 https://www.canyon.com/en/mountainbikes ... tml?b=3572
Vitus Escarpe 275 VR http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/mobi ... prod107039

Can I have opinions on these bikes and suggestions of other bikes I should be looking at?

Thanks
