Hi all,

I'm in Malawi for two years and trying to purchase a bike from a UK retailer that will deliver to Malawi is tricky, so my options are limited.

To cut a long story short I've narrowed my choices down to

1) Mondraker Factor 29 2014 link
2) Mondraker Foxy 2015 link
3) Whyte T-129S link


All are around £1900-2200, full sussers. Out of those three the Foxy 2015 has the longest travel at 140mm, compared to my current bike that has 100mm. The two Mondrakers have Fox CTD equipment and I guess my main question is based around the long(ish) travel of the Foxy; I need a bike that can climb roads and tracks without being a complete pudding, and presumably the longer travel the softer it will be on a climb? I guess I want the longer travel but not if it compromises the climbing ability.

All thoughts welcome smile

I have a Foxy RR, and don't have any issues climbing at all. HTH.
