Hey guys

Finally having the budget for my new hardtail. As I know some of the big brands like Cube and Scott, I am really looking at some suggestions from other brands and models have this caracteristics for my next hardtail:

– £1600
– hardtail
– carbon fiber frame
– 100mm travel fork
– xt or something sram. I am really looking for a 1×11 but a 2×11 could work as I might convert it later to 1×11
– frame with internal cable routing so it looks clean( ex: santa cruz highball)

This is what I am looking in a bike. Looking forward for your suggestions.
Thanks

If you can live with external routing, Giant XTC Advanced 29’er and 27.5 are fantastic. You get a full Toray T700 frame for not much money.

Have a hunt around there are some 2015 out there at 40% off rrp!

Rose Psycho Path comes in a £1300.

Saw a large and another medium brand new Whyte 29-c carbon on ebay both in and under your budget. Great bikes by all accounts.
