    I’m sure that everyone will say that it depends what you like doing. Lots of folks will tell you what they have and I’ll do the same. I’ve got an Anthem x. Great for Xc and singletrack. The x4 i think fits under your budget. They all have the same alu frame up to x1, so there’s upgrade potential. I love mine, it’s very fast!

    I’d also go and try any that you want – the Giant store at Rutland hires them so I tried one for a couple of hours before deciding.

    That’s the correct answer.

    So what dont you like about what you have now – what do you want different? EG more of the same but newer – lighter – tougher….. etc.

    Canyon Nerve xc 7.0 are very good, got last years and only changed the wheels so far for stronger wheels for Lakes riding!

    Oh and a Reverb seatpost.

    The Anthem is pretty much one of the best XC/trail bikes you can get. Very few climb and decend as well and tend to compromise. Just demo other stuff to see what you think..
