What are you going to be riding mostly? Trails, cross country, down hill?

i ride mostly trails and have a Whyte at the moment. Its now my prized possession. I love it.

Cube are good, Ghost is another German manufacturer that has some good spec bikes out.

You can still get 2009 or 2010 models from a lot of places and most are just a different colour then this year so you get a lot more spec for your buck. You could get a very good 2009 full susser for the same price as the KTM.

Anything that gets 3 stars or more here will be excellent Bikes, Bike Reviews, Cycling Routes, Race News - BikeRadar

I went Halfords and bought a Voodoo. It's great. I quite fancied the boardmans too.
I love the CUBEs but they seem a bit pricey.

* not kidding. Most bikes are these days, including Specialised, Trek, Merida, Giant. The latter two are Taiwanese companies in fact. Even some Colnagos are made in Taiwan these days.

Did you try turning it off and on again?!
