I posted about this a few weeks back but still undecided. I am now going to have this as my only bike (selling my full suss) and it needs to suit the following riding criteria:
– Weekend riding is mainly XC stuff around Surrey Hills and Thetford
– Some days spent playing on descents and pushing up
– I enjoy the downs more than the ups
– Handful of trips to Wales/Scotland trail centres
– Various trips to peaks/natural
– Some urban and mild off road mid week fitness rides with skinnier 2.0 tyres
– Monthly trips to aston hill, chicksands, woburn etc
– Alps trips every year
– One bike needs to cover all disciplines
What does everyone think matches the brief?
