I'm looking to get a new full susser, budget is £1600 max

I ride at Glentress , mainly reds and blacks

While I would normally eBay something used,this time I'm restricted to Evans,

Any recommendation ?

Any input welcome!

Check out Paulscycles.

You'll get some top notch last years full suss on there for that much. Cannondale Jekyll down to 1600 from 3200 last I checked.

If you can only shop at Evans and you want a full susser for less than £1600 then I'd suggest you look at the link below. If you can't find something you like then no, it's not possible.

Trek Fuel EX6 would get my money, good air sprung fork with the power bulge and a good rear shock, drivetrain and finishing kit is acceptable but the important stuff is good spec.

Get to a good (or a big) Evans store and try them for size and "fit".

Plus5db thanks for including the link, I've had paralysis by analysis for the past couple of days looking at the website!

Thanks for the trek recommendation, I'll go in and give it a try

Anyone else got any opinion on the bikes on the link? Norco fluid?

If your limited to Evans I think you'll be hard pushed, I went in with 2k last year and came out with nothing went to pedalon and got a great deal for my money.

Evans have the new Fuji reveal 29 on sales from 2400 to 1600

I appreciate that's it's probably not worth 2400 , but spec looks good for 1600

Any experience of Fuji?
