Hi
I have been looking for a cheapish hardtail for winter riding to train for DH. I haven't had a hardtail for a long time so will have to work off some recommendations. So far I have been looking at
Diamondback Heist 2.0 £650
On one 456 650b £800
Commencal Meta HT SX roughly £650 posted.
I am still a downhiller at heart and this is just for some winter thrashing and mile eating, hence why there are all quite burly bikes. I am not too bothered about weight, but want to run 1x10/9 and do not want to have to change much when I get it. The Commencal really sings out to me as the most "dh bikers hardtail" and comes with more travel and the best fork. Its just a shame the 650b version is a bit out of budget.
Let me know if you have any recommendations. Has to be new and suit a 6"1 rider.
Cheers
Henry
