Hey guys, i´m changing my hardtail for a fullsuspension, and trying to know about the best bike i can get for a budget similar of the stumpjumper comp. There are a lot of bikes out there, what should i look for?

i´ve seen:

specialized pitch, enduro, sjcomp, camber expert, and some treks and a gary fisher roscoe...all in catalog.

I do xcountry and a bit of all mountain. i´m looking for something versatil, light for riding up up up and a lot of comfort going down...

Hope you can help me out a bit.

thanks.

dont think you could go wrong with any of these bikes, but guy I ride with rides a camber comp and loves it and he was on a stumpy hardtail before it. I ride a 2010 fsr xc expert and have zero complaints from the bike.

thanks budy, do you know if riding the enduro or pitch would be too hard for climbing?

imo, if you want to climb and are only talking Spec, you want a Camber or a Stumpy.

Tell us where do you ride? What are your trails like? How much climbing? How big are your drops? That kind of stuff.

Ok i ride in Mexico city high mountains xcountry trails mainly, single tracks, some technical drops and tracks, also long rides with 1 or 2 hrs climbing straight. I'm not only talkin spec it could be cannondale merida or giant as well. Thanks again.

Roscoe, ABP, DCRV,G2 geo, 15QR, Fox RC4 Talas all in one bike, not bad at all.

Test ride the Stumpy and Camber. Also, the Trance and the Fuel EX. I would stay away from the big drop bikes with that much climbing.

thanks kwrides, good advice...

Just curious...have you done any test rides? What were your impressions?
