These look pretty good vfm to me:

Voodoo bizango, or if it were me I’d buy one second hand off here (or something similar) Cotic maybe.

I’ve got a medium 2016 cotic bfe for sale for £850 will take a good offer if interested!

I’d be looking at the Marin Nail Trail, a friend has just got the 6 for £700 and it looks like a good bike for the money.

Alternatively the 7 gets you a much better spec with rockshox yari forks and a dropper, although I think the cheapest they are available for is about £899.

They do come up large on sizing though.

As mentioned:
Line 10 from GoOutdoors:
http://calibre-bikes.com/
120 mm fork and 2.3 inch tires (although the Rapid Rop on the rear sucks. Had this tire on an other bike. Flat all the time. Swapped it as fast as I could).
Marin Nail Trail – as mentioned – appears to be nice as well.
Fun: check if you find the MERIDA BIG.TRAIL 600 somewhere for less than 1 k.
130 mm fork and PLUS tires. Normally sells for around 1.3 k.
But saw it in winter sale for less than 1 k and had a look in a bike shop – this bike looks fun!
800 and 900 version of this bike is crazy expensive / no option.
Don’t have a PLUS bike by myself. Some hate them, some love them.

I’ve got a sentier vrs. Good bike but the fork is a bit basic and the tyres it comes with are heavy and can’t be run tubeless. Good grip tho and for the money it’s a fantastic bike. I’d recommend it and I think it was down to £800ish with the sales? If you can get another 10%+ off with BC code and quidco it’s well worth it.
