reposting since I messed up the formatting. I am wondering which bike I should choose for mostly long blue-rated Cross-Country rides in Colorado. I am an intermediate rider. Budget was originally $2,000. Are these bikes a good deal? What would you choose?
Worried about the NX drivetrain on the Neuron.
Worried about the slacker HT angle and front fork on the element a50. Will the HT make climbing up rock gardens much harder?

Both look like great bikes.
There is no wrong answer.
I would personally get the Rocky Mountain because i like the components more (Shimano SLX/XT).
