Hi All,

Looking at the new 14' models coming through shortly, I've been trying to buy my new ride and after talking to Bike shops and working out prices and what not, I'm stuck on which bike to get

As per the heading I'm tossing up between the 13' S-works and Marathon models and If anyone has any personal experiences with either ride, Id love to hear it

I'm looking at about a 2,000 - 2,500 difference and an wondering if your getting that much worth getting the S-works over the Marathon, Being a lot of money I'm trying to be 100% sure before I go ahead

Thanks,

I ride the Epic Marathon and the only issue I've had is air getting into the rear brake.

Cheers Brain,

I went for the Marathon, I couldn't see the difference to price ratio between the two and after test riding the SRAM epic S-works I didn't see much difference between the two.....I pick it up on Saturday Im keen to do some servere trail riding this weekend!

Thanks!
