Apologies for the load of recent posts but I really want to make sure the bike I get is perfect.
I have narrowed my search down to three bikes, all at £999, from Halfords.
The Boardman Pro 29

The Boardman Team FS 650

And the Voodoo Zobop

Which of these do you think looks to be the better bike? I am an intermediate rider and will generally be riding trails and a little bit of XC!
Thank You!

That's about the fifth thread so far, and the second just today - why not keep it all in one?
Far less confusing.I don't do smileys.

I recently acquired a 13 Incline Gamma. Seemed great spec for the money... even after weeks of reading up.
They have £100 off at the minute too, so within your budget.0 -
It is easier for us regulars if is kept in the same thread - that way we can see easily what has gone before, and not repeat ourselves (and get a better feel for what you are wanting/not wanting).
If you want the lightest bike for the money, then the Pro as is a xc derived hardtail. The full sussers are more 'trail' oriented with slacker angles, more travel - and consequently weigh more, not just because of the suspension, but because the budget means cheaper parts.
I am not sure whether you are just limited to Halfords or not - but a more XC oriented full suspension bike is this:

That is a good price, some nice kit for that cash.0 -

Now you see why we said keep it in one thread!
As it happens of course, we all know that you can use Halfords vouchers at an LBS away from Halfords as would you had you done your homework.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0 -
