This one: https://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/CBTIELVIATRNXLTD/titus-el-viajero-trail-sram-nx1-mountain-bike

I know the Planet X haters will appear but on the face of it this looks like a bit of a bargain.
Thinking in terms of a first full sus bike for my son.
It’ll be heavy and needs a dropper but 11 speed is better than most other 1k bikes at the mo...and Rock Shox front and rear is better too.
Any real world opinions/reviews please?

nx 11 speed & level T brakes are not the lightest (that casette!), but work well, but overall taht looks like a great bike

True, but go outdoors can’t be bought on finance or cycle to work scheme unfortunately. Could go down the 0% CC I suppose...

Just a little bump for the daytime folk. Can't find any online reviews or much information...

Another little bump...I can't believe no one has bought one and reviewed it somewhere.

Brant? What can you tell me about these please?

I will be keeping a eye on this thread. I was thinking about one of these as well for my lad. Just buying the frame and forks and swapping the parts over from his hardtail.

All will be well until you change the bearings .some are loose fitting some are tight .the tolerances on the frame isn't great .
It's not my bike but a mates and he loves how it rides .I hate it

I have a gravity trail, not the trail. Its a solid bike for the money.
