Great spec for the money , previous model was pretty much bike of the year everywhere. You could get the previous model for £100 cheaper than this not sure it's still available though.
Also the beastnut looks pretty decent aswell hopefully they stock more.

Personally I think there are better bike deals to be had, also if you wait 2 months you will see a mass of end of season 50% off sales. The brakes are poor, the gear set is basic, and the rear shock is fairly weak. Front is ok for the money, but not something I would want on a 'full susser'
You would be better off getting a good hard tail for a grand than a poor Full Susser.
I bought my nipper an entry level specialized (notoriously overpriced) with a massive discount for £300ish and most of the components (not front fork) would equal that on this bike.
Great bike to get on the "Cycle Scheme if the company you work for has it set up. Main reason being the limit for the voucher is often £1000 max. You'll end up paying about 600 quid as a lower rate tax payer or 500 as a higher rate payer.

I picked one of these up on military day a couple of weeks ago for £850. Great bike, I'm no pro, not even good, but this bike makes tough drops so easy.

Bossnut over the GT helion anyday. Better suspension with more travel. The rockshox sektor is miles better than the Raidon fork (20mm more travel) and the monarch rear shock is better too. Both bikes are made for trails XC not enduro/downhill. Great value for the money.

Full suspension bike.
