I have the same model Voodoo Hoodoo. I've recently changed the bars to nukeproof bars with more rise. Upgraded the grips, pedals and saddle and it already feels like a completely different bike. I plan to add a dropper and convert to tubeless which should make it a pretty capable hardtail. I'm 42 and brand new to mountain biking. I can't afford to spend £2000 on a bike, so videos like this make me feel better about my purchase. Please do upgrade videos on this bike, fans on tight budgets would really appreciate it as mountain biking is an expensive dammed sport to get into

Does the bike have an air fork? On even the cheapest of bikes, an air fork and dropper will absolutely transform the bike and make it 10x as capable. I enjoy the upgrade process. My first hardtail didn't have a dropper, no air fork, 3x8 drive train. Each upgrade feels huge. I'd say it's more enjoyable than someone who just starts out on a top of the line bike. You don't get the appreciation for each component upgrade.

I love my FS, I barely ride the hardtail anymore just since the FS is so smooth. It even climbs faster. But the one thing I hate is going through mud and getting the pivots/bearings all messed up. If you're riding really muddy trails then the hardtail wins. But for anything else the FS is just so much faster. And I was a huge hardtail fan for years telling myself FS is pointless and I'd never get one lol. Still got love for my hardtail of course.

Droppers always get mentioned as something that every bike needs an upgrade to (which is true) but none of the timed tests account for that or show you how it saves time/energy. We need a timed test that uses a trail with lots of elevation change that shows the difference in time/energy using a dropper verses leaving you seat in the same place or using a quick release to get comfortable whenever necessary.

I almost never use my dropper on any of bikes. Where I live, I will have about 20-50ft of decent at most and it takes more brain power and movement to drop the seat and then have to put it back up than to just stand up for a second. And when I take the Enduro down mountains, it just stays down almost always. Droppers are convenient sure I guess but I've thought about swapping them for carbon seatposts many times. Quick release and carbon for weight and absorption is all I really need and I'd wager all most riders "need" too.

That's the distinction between budget and premium. The gains per individual test are not always massive but when you add it all up the riding experience will be noticable. On the flip side, a few decent upgrades on the Voodoo will elevate that bike to at least the same level as the Nukeproof but with much less money being spent. Still, the Nukeproof wins hands down for street cred alone.

You've gotta be into your bikes for Nukeproof to get street cred really. It's like owning a Lancia and going to a car meet, a car guy will purr over it, but everyone else will be looking at the Ferrari, Lamborghini and Astons. I have a Santa Cruz, the only people that ever say nice bike mate are skaters or ex-skaters. The average Joe don't know the brand, same with Nukeproof. They might know Specialized (not S-Works just standard) Marin, Orange, Trek, GT etc, might. Most people I know think Carrera and Claude Butler are premium bikes. Elite bikes are a very niche thing, I found that out when I got into it years ago. It's like wearing Bottega Veneta clothes and George Cleverly shoes go to the bingo, nobody is ever gonna give you credit for wearing a 5 grand outfit, as they'll have no idea it's a 5 grand outfit. Having a Nukeproof will get hit respect from your peers though, that's much better than street cred. People on the street have poor taste, they ride e-scooters and wear The North Face jackets.

Let's finish the story. The brand is not so important as the equipment on the bike. You can have a bike of a specialized brand, for example, with ordinary equipment, which will be more expensive than a bicycle of a lesser-known brand, even though the lesser-known one will have better equipment and be cheaper. My recommendation is to find a bicycle with an Alu frame and good equipment and save money for other things. It's no use paying big bucks for some top brands if they don't have good parts on them.
