Charge Blender, ridden a few tracks and had the odd and mates race...saying that its the only 4X bike I've ridden!! It's good fun, strong and I use it as an all rounder, bit heavy for competitive racing though.

To be fair if I were serious and were to race (budget no consideration) I'd be looking at the following:

Yeti DJ (don't be fooled by the name!) is meant to be totally mean
Identiti Krisis...I've seen alot of people riding these, very popular on the British 4X series
Santa Cruz Jakel
Transition Bank

Have a look through this thread....

If your on a budget they are probably out of the running.

Identit Krisis RRP 299

Santa Cruz Jackel £570

My Blender 🙂 Frame £200 (new)

If your spending that kinda dosh I'd have a test ride first, the Krisis looks real good though but Yeti have the World Cup win under their belt and Scott Boom Boom rides one this year and has done very well at the British 4X.
