by 0

If you’re shopping for a bike at this price point then you have our condolences – it’s not an easy job trying to choose just one bike from the 100’s of stellar options on sale today. You are both spoiled for choice and cursed with the longest most difficult cycling decision of your life. With that said, here are three bikes which Singletrack readers have nominated for awards which might make things easier.

The Finalists – Best Bike Under £4500

The already excellent Stumpjumper with added travel (and a different frame), it’s so good it has a few of you wondering why you’d ever want an Enduro. Well, you don’t – you’re very happy with your alloy Evo, thank you.

Giant Trance Adv Pro

Giant produced the unexpected with this bike – a mid travel bike with big wheels, and the result was stacks and stacks of fun. Giant joined the 29er party with this party bike, and you lot brought the keg.
