Voodoo Bizango
Let's be frank, it's a heavy low-end machine. Some good Deore bits, mixed with totally rank Suntour parts; their forks are a joke! It will get tired looking quickly and depreicte heavily too.
If you know anything about bikes (or have a friend who can spot obvious problems) for £500 you'd be far better off buying a used 650b Cotic Soul or similar. The ride will be 100+% better and it will still be worth almost what you paid after a couple of years usage.
Magazine reviews need to be taken with a pinch of salt - advertising revenues always mean that there is a conflict of interest at play.

The reason not to buy it is that you kinda shouldn't buy a 29er unless you really, really want one :)
Otherwise on paper it looks like a credible first mtb, ya.

Looking at a first MTB after enjoying a couple of rental sessions, arriving on the Voodoo Bizango I think...
Available for £500 and reviews seem to think it was a huge bargain at £600. I'd have preferred a 650b but this seems better value than anything else out there. So far the biggest downsides I can think of are the fugly colour and that it will be put together by a Halfords. Are there any other reasons not to do this?*
*Bike-related reasons that is. I can't really afford this at the moment but never mind.
