I am looking to buy my first full suspension bike. I have been riding a specialized hardrock sport since 2007 and it is about time for an upgrade. I ride in western virginia and west virginia. So I am looking for something with a decent amount of travel for decents, but won't be a pain on climbs. So far I have been looking at:
Giant Trance 27.5 3 - Trance 27.5 3 (2014) - Bikes | Giant Bicycles | United States
Kona Precept DL - KONA BIKES | 2014 BIKES | TRAIL DS | PRECEPT DL
Trek Fuel Ex 7 - Trek Bicycle
I want to get some thoughts on these bikes and/or suggestions on others I should consider. I am looking to keep the price in the mid 2000's. Thanks
