For someone who isn't doing really technical trails (eg: jumps off rocks) are the better components worth the extra money. I am on a limited budget, but I want a good bike that I can enjoy for a while
I doubt the specialized components are that bad, are they?
Dannihilator when your say that the Trek has the better components, are you talking about the X Caliber 4 as well as the 5? How does the 4 compare with the Hardrock?
Thank you for the feedback by the way!!!
