Hi Conrad, I am looking to upgrade my current mtb to be fit for Cross Tri. (competing at the Cross Tri Worlds in Nov ’16 in Aus). What would you recommend I get between the following Specialized bicycles:
Epic Elite Carbon World Cup 29 or the Stumpjumber HT Expert Carbon World Cup 29
The dual suspension is definitely the way to go 95% of the time. It handles much better and is much more forgiving than the hard tail, and despite the extra weight, it usually climbs faster over even slightly rougher terrain.
For Cross Tri and XTERRA its a no brainer, as you get off the bike a bit less broken 🙂
