Hi,

Looking to get my first full sus.

I'm in EU, budget up to 2500 EUR.

Narrowed it down to 2024 Jeffsy Core 2 (2600 EUR total) VS a good deal on the 2024 carbon Ghost Riot Trail Pro (2500 EUR) vs Siskui T8 (1900 EUR with a possible 0% payment plan – big plus for me).

I like Ghost spec and would prefer shimano xl/slx/deore mix over the GX. However, unsure about the linkages / geometry on the Ghost. Could you advice how big of a difference it would make? I am riding mountains / singletrack, hitting drops (1m or less), and some basic jumps. Nothing too gnarly. Blue/red trails. Would also like to ride a bit of gravel around a lake sometimes.

Rented Giant Trance X and Reign for a long time and liked them.

Note:
I might be moving away from the mountains in 1-2 years, in that case the bike resale value is also important. I guess I could lose less if I get a discounted ghost?

  1. Trying to buy a bike and considering resale is tough to do. But if I were you I’d be looking at companies that offer transferable frame warranties.
