Thoughts On This Please?

[ShaneWBA]

So last year nearly 18 months ago I purchased a Hybrid bike

I took it to Cannock Chase and went round the trails, it was ok but not ideal due to being a Hybrid, but managed to hold its own just about

I went to Bike Park Wales this weekend, rented a full suspension bike from them and loved it

I've now decided to purchase a Full Suspension bike and I'm eying this up - https://www.leisurelakesbikes.com/b...-12-spd-mountain-bike-2022-blacksmoke__357076

Any thoughts on this bike or people that have one? A lot of the reviews online seem to be mainly focussed towards the Comp version than the alloy

Thanks in advance

The Stumpjumper models have a long history and are seen as very capable machines , no doubt this will be too.

Don't fret about alloy vs carbon as there isn't a lot of difference in capabilities.

What did you hire at BPW ?

Believe it was a Trek Fuel Ex 5 they gave me

As above don't get too hung up on carbon. I'd say there is NO difference in capabilities. Weight would be very close. Groupset might be s step down in the 'cooking' model but won't detract from your experience.
Just enjoy.

Looks like a nice bike for the money. Should have no problem in any of the bike parks/trail centres.

Good effort taking a hybrid on the trails!
