I put a post on recently for a hardtail (Thank you to everyone that helped me)
I am now thinking about getting a full suspension after trying one in the Bike shop earlier today
My max price is £1750 but ideally dont wish to go that expensive, ideally about £1500ish
I would be so greatful if anyone would recommend a full suspension for that price?
Many many thanks

Ignore the fact that it’s a women’s bike - exactly the same geo as a Stumpjumper...

would you consider second hand? I picked up a lightly used 9 month old trek fuel 9.8 for £1850 and it's ace.

The above are good suggestions.

Calibre Bossnut is a good chunk cheaper (£1000) use some of the difference to buy a dropper post and decent tyres.

This sale is CRAZY !!! Best ever.

But: L is still available. L for women size? How does that translate then? Men's M or also L?

This deal is great.
Women bike: paint and saddle is different... - no issue.

Orbea Occam H50 AM? If you can stretch the budget a bit have a look in Sprockets who have added some tasty upgrades. If not they'll do the regular model too.

yes.

There is a thread about this deal. It's crazy.
Women version - you have to figure the correct size out for you.

No idea how these sizes translate - the thread will answer (hopefully)?

Might be worth you checking out Canyon / YT / Radon for that budget.

Obviously there's the Boardman too.

Might be worthy you checking out Paul's bikes too - they sometimes have great deals on certain bikes.

The Stereo 140 HPA for 1.7 k? (2017 version)

This is nuts. RRP is 2.6 k ...

haha
Too many good bikes again!

My opinion about the Stereo 140 HPA: if you get the 2017 version in your size for 1.7 k this is an extremely deal / fantastic trail bike.
I don't like all the old school Cube hardtails. They are pure racing machines.
But different with the Stereo 140 HPA. Such a good trail bike.
There is a new 2018 Stereo 140 - the 1.7 price tag for the 2017 version is silly low in January sale.

27.5 version, review 2014:

Have a look at bird cycles as I think you can get an aeris for about your budget. Or by mine. Well under your budget....

If you are happy with 2nd hand try pinkbike classifieds.

You won't get an Aeris for £1750. When I bought mine they started about £1950 but they've gone up since then (the 145 anyway).

The geometry of that Large Rhyme looks like a mens M/L to me (old school large, new school M)

For around your budget, the vitus erscape and Summet look good value. My mate has an escarpe and is getting on well with it
