Yeh, the scheme is run by Halfords so it has to be them or an associated independent. Basically that gives me the list of brands above. I already tried asking them about Norco and Vitus bikes and they said no.
If you can get a whyte from halfords i'd go for the 905 (maybe last years model or spend the extra over the £1000). No one I've ever spoken to has a bad thing to say about, I love mines, by far the easiest hard tail i've ever ridden.

Then I wouldn't bother.
I'd rather 0% on a credit card or self fund on a decent secondhand one.
1k in Halfords doesn't buy you much for train riding.
Not sure you've understood. I can go to Halfords and associated retailers which means I can get the brands listed in the OP.I'd rather 0% on a credit card or self fund on a decent secondhand one.

Would you really prefer to self-fund over getting an effective 40% discount? That's some wild logic.

This is definitely an option that I'm looking at. I can use the scheme at Alpine Bikes in Edinburgh who stock Whyte. The 901 is a few hundred cheaper but doesn't have such a good fork. Marin San Quentin 3 is a similar bike and, like the Whyte 905, comes with the Revelation fork. it's also a bit cheaper at £1,450. Plenty to think about.No one I've ever spoken to has a bad thing to say about, I love mines, by far the easiest hard tail i've ever ridden.

Ive ridden off road properly for years. If your asking genuinely and consider Halfords your definite choice over a x% saving you aren't really going mountain biking. You are severly limiting future enjoyment by limiting your options. Unless of course your off road riding means canal paths and around a park.
Hope you understand what I am saying.
