I'm after a bike that I can use for downhill/free ride trail etc that's not a full on down hill rig, I had an Orange 223 I sold last year but can't afford 2 bikes so what do you guys think I've narrowed it to two bikes.

I like the look of the mondraker but I think the Norco has the better spec,
What do other riders on the forum think?

Green one would get my vote.
As mentioned the other bike's curved design, looks a bit wrong.

As above the frame on the Norco doesn't look right, where as the Mondraker looks spot on. Have you looked in any of the mountain bike mags as I'm sure one of them has a review section of all bikes in the back like Top Gear does for cars.
Done a quick search and found these that might help
