• What's the shortlist looking like?

  • Currently dithering over

    Starling Murmur Trail - 140r / 140f
    Cotic FlareMax - 125r / 130 or 140f

    Not quite sure how to split the difference except by going with the one with the nicest paint.

  • I am really happy with my aether 9. bird seem to be about the nest bang for your buck on full builds and their customer service is great.

    But I get the impression most modern full sus bikes are pretty decent. So find one that fits with the components and colour you want that you can afford.

  • either are great you won't have any problem with that

  • The murmur says 160 front? But I often can't read

    ah they have enduro and trail version and I was looking at enduro.
    see i said I can't read

  • I've also got a Flaremax, it's a great bike, the travel isn't an issue for me, I've got 140/132 and it hardly ever smash through all that. If you think 125 is too short in the rear wall Cotic because you might be able to just increase the stroke of the shock like I did when I bought a new one. The Xfusion shocks aren't a patch on Cane Creek BTW.
