My production privee shan GT is both fun and robust. Not as lls as some, but works very well for me. Has pretty short chainstays so quite poppy. Steel is real and has vertical flex built into chain and seat stays (no idea if it actually works, but it's certainly a comfortable ride), gusset at join of down and head tube gives extra strength for gnarr! Designed and tested in Andorra by ex Commencal bods. I rate it highly and it handles tech stuff very well

I’ve not ridden one myself but the Bird Zero 29er has been getting some great comments recently. Might be worth a test ride - it’s quite slack with a low bb so it’s meant to be great at cornering etc

There’s literally hundreds to choose from! Might help if you narrowed your purchase criteria down a little...

Full Bike? Frame only? Budget? Fork travel? Frame material? etc etc...

I meant a pace rc529. Mine has shown it's worth on trail centre reds, where it is super fun and fast and on tweed valleys finest steep stuff.

Odds are the on one will have an issue that justifies returning it, then he can get a refund and a Bird Zero 29. Awesome bike.
