Thunderbolt vs Altitude alloy 30

[shtumpa]

I have the option of both for the same price ( Second hand Altitude ) new Thunderbolt 2019.. the Altitude 2018 checks out ok for second hand

what would be the better bike for an all rounder.. mostly for riding around in the high country.. ( not looking to do super fast downhill, just kinda light backpacking )

No i'm not an expert.. lol

cheers

Thunderbolt 2019 with 130mm travel is plenty unless you are going steep/very rough/lots of air. Altitude is way over the top for what riding you described.

What brand are these? I’m not familiar with the models.
