Focus Bike - Fire Edge

[limoni]

Hi,

I am looking for a full suspension bike (entry level) while seeing two attractive bikes:
Specialized XC comp and Focus Fire edge *.

I am not German and an not familiar with Focus bike (my friend has recommended them but I can not find any review in the internet). Is it a good German brand?

Are you familiar with Focus Fire edge *? Is it a good bike? What about its durability ? Should I go for the XC comp instead ?

Also,front fork looks not that good ... (dont know its brand).


Your help will be appreciated ....

Thanks,
Eddie

Do you also have a link for the Specialized?

The Focus looks quiet entry-level... the fork (a Rock Shox Tora) is quiet nice. Discbrakes and the Shimano * XT rear derailleur are also nice. The other parts are all 'basic'.
The price would be interesting.
