This bike, from the suddenly much talked about Canyon, is suddenly gripping my mind: http://www.canyon.com/_uk/mountainbikes/bike.html?b=2090
Given the set up, do you think it suits this kind of riding:
- robust enough to be properly chucked downwards in the Alps - but not on triple black diamond monster DH trails or gap jumps, more just pushed hard through and around whatever is on the trail
- by someone weighing 17 stone 
- pedallable up proper hills - (e.g. Afan Whites Level)
For what it's worth, my hardtail is a Bfe with 36s, which totally suits my riding, and until seeing these lovely and amazing value Canyon's the bike I had in mind was an Orange Alpine 160 or Blood.
So do you think I'm looking at the right Canyon? Could I expect that rear triangle to hack my heavy and enthusiastic punishment? 
Thanks for input.
