.....Trek Remedy 9 or Canyon Nerve AL+9.0SL?

I realise that both these bikes are 26ers and therefor a bit passé 8O, however.........I don't want a 29er as I've already got wagon wheel hardtail, 650b will mean a new suite of rubber and I really like steep tight twisty stuff so a 26er it is!

Would you consider jumping up a bike in the Canyon range to the Strive?

Cheers for the feedback 🙂

I did look at the Strive but I'm 6'3" and a bit too tall for it 😥

Are the 150mm DRCV forks really that bad? My 2012 Fuel has the 120mm DRCV forks and they ride beautifully!
