Hi
I've been mountain bike riding occasionally, usually borrowing a friends bike (Polygon Siskiu T7).
I'm keen on buying a brand new bike from Trek. There's a dealer near where I live so easy service and warranty.
The bikes deciding between the Fuel EX 5 ($2999) and the Roscoe 8 ($1999 on sale).
I'll be riding on trails around the Gold Coast and Uki, Australia.
The Fuel EX 5 is more than I planned on spending. Would I regret getting the Roscoe hardtail? It's much closer to my budget
Thanks

These are such different bikes in terms of how they’ll ride. I’d say it comes down to the type of riding your doing and the type of bike you’re used to riding
If you’re coming from a Sisku then the Fuel will be more familiar and will be a bit of an upgrade.
The Roscoe will be a great bike but being a hard-tail will need you to adjust how you ride.
Fuel all the way. See if u can find this one for the same price in ur size https://www.trekbikes.com/pu/en_AU/bikes/mountain-bikes/trail-mountain-bikes/fuel-ex/fuel-ex-7-gen-6/p/5272008/ ( better bits!).
