I've got £1500 to spend.
I won't be out 4 times a week, it's more of a "if I get the chance bike'. I've got a CX and carbon road bike at moment and i'd like an MTB after not having one for a few years.
I've had a whole host of bikes in past and know the pro's and con's of this Vs that etc but i'm genuinely torn. I won't be doing anything more extreme than a trail centre but comfort is a bit of an issue.
I like bouncy 29ers, but not getting them up hills.
I like HT's on the way up, but not as much on the way down.
I've kind of rattled it down to either a Genesis High Lattitude 29er (like having a dropper thrown in )
or an Orange Crush (looks quite hardcore
or a Giant 27.5 3 bouncer (have a Giant road bike and think the quality is A1)
help me decide
What about a Bird Zero?
Depends on your riding really. My BFe is a hoot on the way down. I think that is a tough price point to pick one or the other.
What about a Bird Zero?
never heard of it, but googled it and my god that's a nice bike - good lead. 😆
I've got an almost brand new canyon nerve i'm practically giving away for £775 so buy that and take it on holiday with the change*?
Usual insincere apologies for the shameless plug in true STW style 😉
All depends where your local riding is really, I made the mistake of buying a bike that's perfect for Wales, uplifts and DH but isn't ideal riding from the door!
