So the Cycle2Work window opens with my employer on 01/07/2015 and am looking for an MTB.
Originally I was thinking hardtail - however, for the money this is quite tempting.

Is it good for the money, does anybody have one?

    Its a competent bike although the Epicon is on the edge of its abilities in longer travel forms and the Zoobop is a better bike for having the better forks.

    What sort of usage (apart from the 51% too and from work of course!).

    So bit trail work, cannock occasionally.
    General MTB exploring etc.

    Maybe a hardtail would be better...

    Don't think the rear shock can be locked out on this Canzo.

    Lock out isnt necessary if it has a pedal platform, that I can't find out from the specs, but its not hard to find out if you look at a bike.
