MTB Buying advice

Tyrant^

Ello ello

Me and the Misses just had our first off rode biking experience today !
And found it rather exciting

Looking to buy are own in the near future.

Have my eye on these

GT Outpost

Cube AIM 2010

Specialized Hardrock - Cant seem to find these anywhere though.

Two choices just based on reviews and the price really !
Found it harder to find reviews on the GT Outpost though

Just looking for the best really with a budget of no greater than €600

Let me know what you guys think, Thanks

Bluefoam

€600 each or in total for the pair?

My advice is to get a bike with hydraulic disk brakes as a minimum. €600 should also allow you to get a bike with a decent fork too, marzocchi & rockshox are good at that price point. Most will come with some sort of shimano deore or better, so gears shouldn't be a worry.

I don't have time to search, but here a great bargain if you're tiny:

bluefoam is right hydraulic disc brakes and a decent fork make a massive diffrence to your experience with a starter mountain bike giant talons are also worth the look decent bikes for the money the the talon 2 comes with a decent fork , hydraulic brakes and deore parts.
