Corratec - opinions please (MTB)

mulling over picking one of these up. Brand is new to me, looks more reasonably priced that similarly specced Trek's or other brands.

this crowd have some very nice looking prices on them, but I've to go bricks and mortar for my C2W scheme.

I'm looking in this broad price range
http://www.isport.ie/Product_Details.asp?ID=672 - upper end

http://www.isport.ie/Product_Details.asp?ID=673 - closer to budget

http://www.isport.ie/Product_Details.asp?ID=669 - cope with this if I had to

http://www.isport.ie/Product_Details.asp?ID=661 full suss option, I had always thought I'd end up racing full suss in my previous life.

Use: adventure races and XC races.

Bricks and mortar indicative pricing today was well north of the prices above - given it's an irish website, I'd be expecting close to price match + modest premium

or should I be looking at Cube in the same price bracket?

I've always liked the look of the Superbow frame, never knew there was anyone in Ireland selling them though.

If you're intending to go XC racing I'd err on the side of the hardtail - it's got a more race position, cheaper, lighter, has better shifters and brakes and a more versatile ammount of fork travel. Oh and it looks better

indeed, that's who I was in with. Not much in the way of reviews online, but not positive really from what there is.

I was in wheelworx the other day and they had a white one built up, not sure if it was for sale though.
It is quite bling in real life, but wasn't a featherweight.
