    A friend is after a 29er. XC orientated really. Any recommendations? He’s looking at a Cube Acid and a Trek Mamba. Anything else work a look?

    Cheers,

    Ben.

    Hi there Ben,

    You might want to check out Canyon. We deal direct with the customer so by cutting out the middle men we pass on a lot of savings directly to you.

    Check out the Yellowstone 29er or the Grand Canyon AL if you want to spend a little more.

    We have a customer service office in Kingston-upon-Thames. Feel free to call us for a chat if you want to talk bikes.

    Regards,
    Trevor @ Canyon UK

    Those FF29er are bloody lovely.
    The XTC carbon is pretty as well. Massive BB area so stiff as you like.

    anything from Trek, Giant, Cube will be decent. but that canyon yellowstone looks real good value at that pricepoint.
