Hi all! Need advice to buy a new trail bike 140 fr/140 back, under 2500 $. On all I need an XL size as I’m 1.96cm and 97kg. Mostly I will do soft trails and maybe in 1 or 2 years after I will progress some harder ones.Maybe is better to buy a cheap one then upgrade over [time.is](https://time.is) is really that good the fork on the h10 Fox 34 Float Performance 140 3-Position vs the h30 Marzocchi Bomber Z2 140 ?
Comparison and specs here:
[https://bike-test.com/en/mountainbike-comparisson/orbea-occam-h10-2023\_vs\_orbea-occam-h30-2023\_vs\_vitus-mythique-29-vrx-2023/](https://bike-test.com/en/mountainbike-comparisson/orbea-occam-h10-2023_vs_orbea-occam-h30-2023_vs_vitus-mythique-29-vrx-2023/)
​
Prices that I can buy each one all 29ers as is black Friday deal:
Orbea Occam H30 2023 = 2085$
Orbea Cccam H10 2023 = 2428$
Vitus Mythique VRX 29 = 2398$
​
Is it worth the extra bucks from h30 to h10 for the components?
Thanks and waiting for tips

That comparison is interesting. I’ve never seen that website before.
That said, you’re looking at component differences. The H10 has better components than either of the others. XT Brakes, Fox fork. You’ll be happier with the H10 imo. Its completely worth it. Always remember, you can’t buy components for cheaper than the manufacturers…meaning, if you bought the cheaper bike and want to upgrade the brakes because they suck, you”re gonna drop at least 300.00 retail on that adventure….which puts one of the cheaper bikes at or above the price of the H10 you considered.
Buy the H10
Is the H20LT not an option? I would go for that else the H10.
