Hi guys,
I am about to upgrade my hard tail and I was looking for an Enduro.
I have restricted the choice tho the below bikes:
Norco Range A7.1
Found for $3523
http://www.norco.com/bikes/mountain/end ... range-a71/
Canyon Strive AL 6.0
Fount for $4028 shipped
https://www.canyon.com/en-au/mtb/strive ... -race.html
Norco Pros
-better fork?
-available in 2-7 days
-local shop
-lower price
-finance (not a deal breaker but welcomed)
Norco cons
-brakes
-never heard about the rims
-external routing
Canyon Pros
-better brakes
-better shock
-internal routing
Canyon Cons
-available in a month,delivery times
-question mark on warranty and timeframes
-a bit worried about the shapeshifer... ok looks cool.. but what about durability and reliability?
Can anyone help me with the choice?
Probably Canyon is slightly better but a bit more expensive... Norco is very good with some faults but from a local shop.
What would you buy and why?
Cheers!!
New Enduro bike

if the frames are similar, why not upgrade the parts on the Norco.
at least you will still get local warranty and parts spec similar.
seems your happy to spend up to $4k anyway?

Just trying to get the best bang for buck
