out of the blue today mrs C says you can have a new bike.
so i'm open to suggestions,
my riding is twice a week round wakefield leeds castleford(mainly xc),and we try to get off once a month to dalby,sherwood or gisburn.Once or twice a year we do a charity ride between 60-90 miles
previous bikes are giant xtc 26
spesh camber 26
orange clockwork 29
liked em all,they did everything i needed,
i think ive got a £2000 limit,

any ideas?
thanks

There are loads of options. Maybe do some test riding and at least narrow it down a bit.

ok,at the moment i have a carbon superfly hardtail on loan from the lbs,which is a cracking bike ,but not for me.
i've made a bit of a shortlist,
scott genius 920 (2014) sale price
scott genius 930 (2015)
trek remedy 8/9 27.5 (2015)
trek fuel 8(2015)

i've just missed out on a 2013 rumblefish

upto press ive tried the scott and the fuel which i both loved

anyone any input/experience of these,or any other suggestions?

i'm looking around £2k
