Considering one of these as my next purchase but interested to hear from people who have ridden both, as to how they compare.

Price wise i think the Aeris is a better buy in terms of spec of parts (GX spec). It also has a better warranty, which naturally i hope never to need, but its good to have.

I do a mixed bag of riding and i'm the limiting factor! I fancy an upgrade from my aging hardtail and dont really want to spend more than £2500.

I've looked at a number of threads on here for the Aeris but not seen much on the Airdrop other than to consider it as an alternative to the Aeris.

I've an Edit, so I guess I'm biased, but honestly I don't think you'd be disappointed by either. The Edit's well built, amazing handling, feels solid, and pushes me into doing all sorts of silliness, I imagine every Aeris owner is nodding along.

The Aeris is a great bike. Handles on a par with the 2013 NP Mega it replaced (which is high praise) but is lighter and more nimble.

I doubt many people have ridden both. Maybe you could be the first!

well, as it happens I'll be at riding with some-one who has one at the weekend, I'll see if I can prise it out of his mucky grasp and get a run on it...If he's lucky he might get to have a go on mine. (phnarr phnarr)

I'll let you know. 😀

No it was mine. We sort of forgot as we were an Antur and having far too much fun 😉

I'd like to ride Nick's back to back with mine tho... we will get round to it one day...
