Mate is looking to ditch his battered old 80mm rockhopper and is looking for recommendations, criteria as follows:

>2 wheels (26 or 29")
>£1500-£2000 budget
>UK trail riding (up and down stuff)
>got one of them modern fancy seat posts that reset for up then down hill

What do you recommend? Thanks all.

Whyte T-129S

£2k, 29er wheels, 120mm travel both ends, short chainstays, 2x10 gears, Reverb Post, Tubeless ready rims. Having ridden one, if I was in the market for a £2k full sus bike, its what I'd buy without a moments hesitation.

Not thought of that one - thanks mboy

I'll look into some deals to bring the price down a bit.
