Hey everyone! Fairly new to mountain biking and I’m finally buying my first bike. Very much a beginner but so I’m still not too sure if i prefer a FS or hardtail. I typically like to ride enduro. I’ve come across a couple bikes that I’m interested in, but having a hard time deciding. The first one I found is a brand new Norco Fluid FS4 (2023) that’s selling for $1600. The second one I was interested in is the Kona Honzo ESD (2022) $1800. Both come stock and seem like good options, but I was wondering which bike would you guys think would be more beneficial in the long run.
If you want to look at more of the specs:
