[oliver3129]

Fancy a full suspension bike so many around ,quite keen on giant trance and seen a few nuke proof on offer only really like to spend around £1500.
Any feedback would be helpful mainly used on Welsh mountain tracks

Your best bet is to have a nosey on the interweb for some Full-suss MTBs around the £1500 mark, pick a couple you like the look of and ask if anyone has any experience of this or that model. Personally I'd look at Orange, but have no idea what they're like these days.

This comment I am making is not very helpful, but why don't you spec out a bike to see what you really need and not want and find a bike that comes close. The problem with sub £1500 MTB is that they are good enough for most but under spec for a few. Look at where you are going to ride, if you are just up and down trail then a 3.5k Lapierre might be overkill. Cheaper MTB obviously have cheaper components so read up about forks and shocks. Have you looked at 'YT Industries' they have some really competitive MTB from AL to Carbon with some of the best components for the money, right now you can purchase their CAPRA AL 2 for just under £2k. The front forks alone would cost you around £500 to buy alone. Only draw back of these bikes is that there is no uk outlet, so it's all mail order.
