Hey fellow bikers,

I'm wanting to purchase a FS mountain bike this coming winter to be ready for spring.
I'm on a bit of a budget. But in lokking at the norco fluid 2 or the devinci django.
Wondering what maybe someone that has more experience then I would say is a better bang for your buck between these to bikes. I mostly ride the pines or turkey point, fanshawe, wildwood or trails similar to that.
Here are the links for each bike.

Looking forward to your thoughts. Thanks

They are very similar bikes. From my quick look over, it seems like the extra $400 on the Devinci is going into better slightly upgraded suspension and brakes.

Depending on your experience level and how you ride, you might notice the suspension/brakes more, or maybe you'll miss the $400 more.

Either bike will perform admirably in those spots and will be well suited to ride in a variety of places.

Check delivery times------that may answer your question. Many mfg's are really out there and Norco has been that way in previous non Covid years
