As the title says, has to be new?

A lot more information needed…

What’s your riding style? how much travel? Frame material preference? etc…

Try a 29er hardtail 😀

try a giant anthem 29er,or 26er

Well it’s mainly for trail single track other than that I’m open to any suggestions?

YTI Wicked – Amazing bike, amazing price!

Noticed a 2011 Giant Anthem in an email I got this morning:

Seemed pretty good value if 100mm is enough for you.

Other than that, there really are a lot of bikes to choose from, although at <£2000 I would look at a 2011 model personally, if it has to be new.

Anthem is good – I love my x1 and the frame on the x3 is the same

Canyon Nerve AM 7.0

Canyon Nerve MR 8.0

Canyon Nerve XC 8.0

Any of the above!

I like the look of the canyon bikes but I dont think it’s possible to get themon finance?

As above, if you want VFM then YT are amazing, Canyon also great, and last years Kona or giant from Pauls Cycles.

If you want more specific advice give specific info; what sort of travel? Is weight a big factor? Any designs you’ve ridden which you prefer (single pivot, VPP, DW, 4-bar etc etc)?
