  1. Hi,
    I've narrowed my choices on a full suspension mainly for cross-country riding between these two bikes: A Specialized O4 FSR-XC or a Haro XLS R3. The Specialized is about $150 more than the Haro. The specialized seems like a plusher ride, and the Haro is a pretty firm ride from what i can tell. Any ideas? These are the only two that are really in my price range that I've been impressed by.

    Yes, both are 04's. I actually bought and returned the Haro because my feet kept hitting the chainstays and the shock bottomed out on me on a very light trail. So, it's looking like the Specialized-budget around 500-700.
