ok so ive been back into mtb for a couple of years now and have been riding an old 2nd hand 2004 enduro. Thinking this year is the time to actually splash the cash and get a new bike but with so much choice its difficult to narrow down bikes to test
I mostly ride trail centres and natrual hills I have been known to spend the odd day at the freeride areas and have done a couple of all day runs like West highland Way etc I’m planning on doing an alps trip next year and riding nevis this year.
spend limit is around 2000 for brand new bike (but i do get a 10% discount with most local bike shops through work so can push a bit)
I was thinking maybe a lapierre zesty or a commencal meta maybe a cube fritzz or stereo??
thoughts??
(I know the best thing to do is get out and test ride but with a test costing around 40 quid and you cant get every brand in one shop i’m trying to narrow the search)
