Cheap Hardtail VS Cheap Full Sus - What Is The Best Budget Bike?

It's often said that you will get more bang for your buck if you buy a hardtail rather than a full-suspension MTB, but is it true? Neil Donoghue has created a set of challenges to see if the hardtail (Voodoo Hoodoo) is the best value for the money, or if it is worth spending the extra money and buying a full suspension (Calibre Bossnut). We're not comparing the basic bike to a super advanced one here... both bikes are tipping the scales at the more economical end of the second-hand market!
