I know that’s the radon swoop won but wondering if anyone knows what the rest were and how they positioned so I can try them out see which I prefer.

Top 5 were the swoop, the YT Capra, The Whyte G160, a Canyon (think a Strive) and a Trek – think it must have been a Remedy. Oh and think there was a Commencal in there too – maybe a Meta.

All bar 2 are direct sales model though – you may struggle to test ride some of them.

I’d say add in the Bird Aeris 145 as well as it wasn’t tested but is good (I bought one).

I currently have a cannondale trigger which is 140/85 travel. Been really pleased with the bike but after something with a bit more about it for more technical trails. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Best bike I’ve had a ride on so far was giant reign 1 but slightly over my budget at 3600.
