13 incline alpha mtb

Anyone seeing these in halfords?
Seriously considering it over the Kona Blast I'd been eyeing up the past weeks.
What's the deal with them? "13" seem to be a new bike company which have designers of Voodoo bikes working with them on their brand from what I read online. Would anyone pick one of these up over a Kona?

Actually forget about it I just discovered they are a Halfords own brand bike. Probably nothing wrong with that generally speaking as they are not Halfords low end BSO Apollo brand but still.

I would think the Boardman range would be a better buy if you are getting one from Halfords.

I heard Halfords bought out the Boardman brand recently. Hopefully they keep them as top bikes when they have their design monkeys speccing them up.

The Kona Blast at €719 is the other model I was considering. Have yet to make a formal decision on it.

They were bought out last year some time alright.

Have you tried second hand Stereo?

The 13 is getting decent reviews for it's price, looks like a bike you could upgrade in the future, but it depends what you're actually looking for, where you plan to use it.
