I know what your saying mate , but the way i look at it is like this ,i dare say you can get a ford mondeo the same spec and for less money as my 2013 Mercedes CLS , but its just not the same is it

I bought the 2014 specialised rockhopper pro evo (the hulk)in the end , preferred the quality of it and it had a bit better brakes so i am told , very pleased with it and the price , all i have to do now is get and ride

But in a test, could you tell the difference?

You pays yer money and makes yer choices.. long as you are happy that's the only thing that matters isn't it

I love that colour!

I don't get the Merc/Ford thing though.

The CLS is a lovely car, and you can't really compare it to a Mondeo in a meaningful way.

Two generic alloy hardtails though? Hell yeah, compare away!

You could say the Canyon, at the same price point, would be a souped up Mondeo I suppose. Both bikes being Mondeos.

I was being a bit flippant , what i was trying to say you wouldn't pic ford Mondeo over a merc c-class for quality or brand would you ?
The Canyon i looked at that was being serviced in halfrauds looked a nice bike , I didn't like the colour scheme or decals and the paint Finnish on the frame wasn't as good this specialised i bought or the whyte and cannon dale i looked at ether...but then i guess u get what you pay for .
BTW does the Canyon brand have the pedigree of specialized then ? ,Wow must of been out of the bike loop for to long mate ,been over ten years since i bought a new bike so i probably am talking out me backside
