New dual suspension 29er which one?

[mattyb1]

Hi Guys,

Im new to this site and after spending time on my Giant boulder getting bucked and thrown around on my local trails around Perth for the past couple of months
I have decided to upgrade to a dual suspension 29er. Listed below are my two options I have narrowed it down too two and was wondering if i can get a couple of opinions before I lay down the cash.

I mainly ride C/C, trails and a small bit of downhill.

Both bikes are 2014 models that are discounted and are both at $1800 each

Giant Anthem x 29er 2

BIG NINETY-NINE 1000

I have given both bikes a short ride around the streets but not the track and both seem pretty similar in handling, different to a track I know.

I don't think i could go wrong with either but real world opinions would be appreciated.

Cheers Matt
