    Lapierre Zesty XM 227. Has 130mm travel at the front, but only 120mm at the rear.

    Question… Why limit yourself to 2×11? A typical 26/36 chainset with 11-40 cassette doesn’t give you any more real world range than the new 11-46 cassettes do when used in a 1x setup.

    Personally, you wouldn’t get me back on an MTB with a front derailleur unless it had the logos “XTR” and “Di2”, and even then I’d still question the need despite the flawless function.

    Radon Slide do a 2×11 140mm I think but you are massively restricting yourself

    It’s your money but isn’t that kind of bike overkill for the riding you do? Are you about to get Gnar in your dotage?

    Giant Trance will take a front mech (can only see 2×10 deore on complete 17 bike though, although there might be some 16 with 2×10 SLX on offer somewhere), just think of the fun you could have specing it up :mrgreen:

    Don’t know what you want with full sus though, what you really want is a Sherpa. Comes with boost forks and a 2×11 if your prepared to wait…. 😉

    Rose Granite Chief, Zesty, Giant Trance and Radon Slide added to the shortlist, thanks.

    The thread for shit chainlines and big sprockets made of cheese is over there ===>

    Think the Bird Aeris can take 2×11 and can be specced with shimano or shonky gears.

    What he said.

    Check out the Radon range from bike discount – online store in Germany.
    http://www.bike-discount.de/en

    I’ve a road bike from them; value for money is great and they don’t use cheap/unbranded components. Also bought a set of rollers.
    Delivery was efficient and goodies were well packaged.
    Their prices include VAT but shipping is extra.

    The guy who owns bike discount has a brother who started/runs either Canyon or Cube; I think they have shared procurement which feeds into their competitive pricing.

    Cube stereo 140

    Other German bikes are available (only country where 2×11 is seen as a good thing)
