Hope I'm posting in the correct section.
I'm hoping to get some feedback of ride differences between the Anthem Advanced and carbon Element. Would there be anyone here who has had both bikes?
Reason I'm asking, is the Elements' here are usually way more in price, but I've spotted an XT spec 2013 on sale, for only a couple hundred more than the XT Anthem.
My riding style is easy exploration; generally for a few hours to full day. No racing, but don't mind putting the hammer down, if I feel like it. Terrain; singletrack/fire roads; nothing too rocky.
This would be my 1st FS29er, which I would plan on keeping for a long time. I'm 5'10"; 130lbs.
