Help please. I’m buying a new bike. Originalyy it was going to be a Canyon Nerve 6.0. But friends have been saying do I really need the rear sus. I ‘m coming round to admitting not really. The only plus point is I’m no spring chicken and the extra comfort would be nice.
So, I’ve turned my thoughts to hardtails.I want a recreational alrounder.
1. Grand Canyon AL 6.0. Anyone have any experience with one. I’ve read the handle bars are low. Is it too race orientated, I don’t like going over the handle bars.
2. Cube LTD team.
3. Giant xtc. I’ve seen an offer in a local shop, thats all. The guy did a good selling job, says its the cat’s whiskers.
4. Boardman MTB team. Is it me or are they heavy?
All help appreciated.

Cotic Solaris 29r. They are bloody fantastic. Both uphill and down

Thanks, Thats another on the list. Any opinions on the grand canyon anyone? It’s the spec for the money that’s drawing me to these.
