So what do you get if you opt for the higher specced Hustle 2 mountain bike rather than the Hustle 1?
For the most part, they are going to ride nearly identically. Despite the Hustle 1 having more gears, you'll probably prefer the simplicity of the double chainset and wider selection on the rear of the Altus equipped Hustle 2. If you're doing much road riding over potentially glass or rubbish strewn roads you'll be thankful for the uprated Kenda puncture proof tyres that come on the Hustle 2.

Frame: Lightweight Alloy frame
Forks: Suntour XCE forks with 100mm of travel

Reviews:
A lot of riders have drawn similarity between the Hustle 1 and the Carrera Valour. If you can't find the size you need in the Hustle then it is worth checking out the Valour range (supply chain issues are still affecting bike production - our advice is that if you see a bike in your size that you like, just get it while you can).
Likewise a lot of comparisons have been made between the Hustle 2 and the extremely popular Carrera Vengeance mountain bike. Always worth a look if you can't find a Hustle 2 in the right size.
