This pretty much boils down to the question in the title, but just a little background -
My experience of full sus bikes is limited, I had one a while ago but sold it on because at the time, the full bounce I felt was taking away more than it added to my rides (was on smooth ground 99% of the time).
This has changed a bit now, I've got a CX bike that sort of pulls double duty as a road bike for when I'm on tarmac, and I've started heading out into the rough stuff, getting mucky on my hardtail.
So anyway, my hardtail is an upgraded 13 Incline Beta - 650b setup, mix of Deore and XT parts, 120mm travel provided by some Rockshox Air Solo forks, quite a nice thing to ride really.
I've been offered a swap on an older, 2008 Specialized Stuntjumper Expert, 26 inch wheel, 120mm travel full suspension job.
Looking for thoughts, opinions etc, do it or keep the hard tail? I'm on the fence.
