Hello Folks,
Just new to the North Shore and about to buy a new bike

. Torn between a Remedy 8 and a Reign X1

Does anyone on here ride either of these bikes and if so what are there good/bad points? I have to admit I enjoy the downhill more than the uphill but I need to get up before I can come down. I like the weight of the Remedy but is it to light? I like the coil on the Reign but it looks like it would be a nightmare to clean and maintain. Oh decisions, decisions!!!! Any help would be greatly appreciated
If anyone fancies showing an intermediate 30 something around the North Shore trails that would also be very much appreciated.
Thanks
Alex.
