Hi Everyone,
The last MTB I purchased was a Diamond Back back in 1995 for $1300.
I have decided to update to a full suspension MTB.
Could anybody make any recommendations to brand and model?
I mainly ride fire trails or designated tracks here in Southern Tasmania.
Would prefer to spend less than $2000, if possible.
All responses will be appreciated.

Have a look at the Giant NRS series. Excellent value for money with out compromising on design. The
NRS system works and works well. I have plenty of reviews on them but at the moment no working
scanner 🙁AJS

The only prob with these bikes is that the rear suspension locks up under braking and the become
like an hardtail. That is prbably why xc guys like them. Other than that they are a good value

They do what they are designed to do. You can also tweak the suspension behaviour to a large degree.

If you can make any sense of the bastardised 'Gerglish' used in this article then good luck to you.
Don't know what the relevance of it is anyhow. They were not testing full suspension frames at all
(the test they seem to focus on is irrelevant to FS frames) and the bikes they did test are mostly
never heard of in Australia.The post is a waste of space. Stop nagging the newsgroup.
Cheers Peter
