Thinking of replacing my 2015 Whyte T-130...want same wheel size and travel, but what?
I want alloy, as I appear to be concerned about how carbon is made and disposed of and I also want 27.5 as I've no interest in 29ers.
Cotic Flare and Bird Aegis 120 LT look appealing, but what else can I get myself confused over?
Nowt wrong with the T-130 but fancy a change after 4 years, so would like a similar sort of ride.
Thanks.

I've just bought a Bird and they have been great to deal with. I also wouldn't rule out 29" wheels. I was thinking the same and ending up getting a Zero 29 after trying that and the Zero AM.
