Best 29er FS stock build for the money?

[Daniel Burks]

I got back into mountain biking a couple of years ago. I’ve been riding an entry level Trek hardtail for about a year and a half. I’ve been thinking about upgrading to a full suspension bike. I’ve researched a bit and discovered that there are a LOT of different components/builds out there. I had it narrowed down to a Fuel Ex 8 and a Trance X 29er 1. Then, I saw an ad for Turner bikes and saw the Sultan Expert trail build. For the money, it seems like a great bargain. Fox Kashima, Shimano XT, Mavic wheels, etc. Now I’m thinking, what other great stock builds are out there? Does anyone have a recommendation for FS 29er with great stock components that may be under the radar?

Thanks!

Airborne Hobgoblin is good for the price

They are all good bikes. I personally went with the Trance as I think it was the best value and I just happened to like it a whole lot. Plus I likes the local Giant dealer as well. I say go with the frame that feels best, components wear out and get upgraded later on.
